    NCRC 2012 Radio Awards Application, Documentary Bio and Program Note Producer: Brian Meagher Bio: It all began when I was six years old and I heard `Popcorn` for the first time. I remember being at the A&W Drive-In, the waitresses arriving at our car on roller skates, and this incredible song providing the soundtrack. Electronic music has provided my soundtrack ever since. Program: Synthumentary (episodes 1-3) Description: Synthumentary is a five-part look at the evolution of the electronic instruments and their place in popular culture, from the earliest electromechanical musical devices to the Moog explosion of the late 60`s and early 70`s. Synthumentary presents a survey of the landmark inventors, instruments, artists and recordings of each era. In each episode, we look at a different scene, discuss the era`s principle actors and play some of their music to illustrate the style of music made at the time. The evolution of electronic music technology is explained to frame each episode. Our aim is to provide the casual listener of electronic music with an appreciation of its possibilities and the more knowledgeable fan with at least a few nuggets of novel information. Among the subjects covered are: The Telharmonium, Theremin, The ”Forbidden Planet” Soundtrack, Raymond Scott, The Ondioline, Jean-Jacques Perrey and Gershon Kingsley, Bob Moog and the Moog music phenomena, Silver Apples, and the Canadian scene: Hugh LeCaine to Bruce Haack to Jean Sauvageau. The intro and outro theme is an original composition written and performed by members of The Unireverse for Synthumentary. The audio submitted contains excerpts from all three episodes.

Scientists and historians have tried to explain the complex phenomena of music for thousands of years. Many questions exist: How is sound produced? What causes music notes to be loud or soft? Why are some notes high and others low? What is the difference between “noise” and music? The science behind how a musical instrument functions is fascinating.

In the 90s many electronic acts applied rock sensibilities to their music in a genre which became known as big beat. After some hesitation, we agreed. Main article: Chiptune. Pietro Grossi was an Italian pioneer of computer composition and tape music, who first experimented with electronic techniques in the early sixties. Music produced solely from electronic generators was first produced in Germany in Moreover, this version used a new standard called MIDI, and here I was ably assisted by former student Miller Puckette, whose initial concepts for this task he later expanded into a program called MAX. August 18, Some electronic organs operate on the opposing principle of additive synthesis, whereby individually generated sine waves are added together in varying proportions to yield a complex waveform. Cage wrote of this collaboration: "In this social darkness, therefore, the work of Earle Brown, Morton Feldman, and Christian Wolff continues to present a brilliant light, for the reason that at the several points of notation, performance, and audition, action is provocative. The company hired Toru Takemitsu to demonstrate their tape recorders with compositions and performances of electronic tape music. Other equipment was borrowed or purchased with personal funds. By the s, magnetic audio tape allowed musicians to tape sounds and then modify them by changing the tape speed or direction, leading to the development of electroacoustic tape music in the s, in Egypt and France.

  • Stefan Firca Dissertation
    Circles and Circuses: Carnivalesque Tropes in the Late 1960s Musical and Cultural Imagination DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University by Stefan Firca , B.M., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Professor Arved Ashby, Advisor Professor Graeme Boone Professor Danielle Fosler-Lussier Copyright by Stefan Firca 2011 Abstract Circus, fairground, carousel, carnival imagery is everywhere during the late 1960s: in cover art, song lyrics, band names and song titles, music criticism, names of music venues, festivals, movies, literature. From circus tents to clowns, from jugglers to magicians, from carousels to parades, an entire carnivalesque lexis seems to be at play in what is generally termed “psychedelia.” The current study attempts to read and offer “thick description” (Geertz) of this vocabulary as part of a larger cultural and countercultural imagination, and integrate musical manifestations of the period (popular psychedelia and avant-garde / experimental music) in a semiotic network of metaphoric representation. If language is nothing more than a chain of metaphors (Lakoff), it is nevertheless true that we often take such metaphors as “rock ’n’ roll circus,” “song-carousel,” “riot of sound” for granted, since they are so widespread and culturally shared that an explanation of their meaning may appear pedantic. But what do these word-images actually mean? What is the range of their connotations? What is the relationship between them? Why are they so frequent in the late 1960s? And how are these tropes translated or suggested musically? One possible answer to the last question involves the broad concept of circularity , emblematic for the psychedelic era: a round melodic motive or harmonic progression, ii a cyclic phrase articulation, a motoric-recurrent riff, a spiraling or whirling waltz in triple time.
