Julio J2-11 Brian Eno Nacido el 15 de mayo de 1948 en Woodbridge, Suffolk, es un artista británico orientado a las ten- dencias de vanguardia y experimentación sonora en casi todos los géneros. Como artista solista Música es probablemente el más conocido padre de la moderna música ambient. Bufa N2-01 Series En los setentas, Eno cobra notoriedad por vez primera como tecladista, ejecutante de los sintetiza- dores y mago de las sonoridades del conocido grupo de art rock y glam Roxy Music. Después de Comex Campesino M2-10 abandonar el grupo, Eno grabó dos de los álbumes más distintivos y originales de rock: Another Green World (1975), universalmente reconocido como una obra maestra debido a su acercamiento a un sonido más etéreo y minimalista, a diferencia de sus anteriores trabajos; y Ambient 1 Music for Air- ports (1978), más abstracto y de paisajes sonoros con el que inventó el término ambient music. Desde Cometa R1-14 entonces, ha producido decenas de álbumes con artistas que comparten ideas y el mismo espíritu creativo como Harold Budd, Robert Fripp, John Cale, Daniel Lanois, Laurie Anderson, Talking Heads, Jah Wobble, David Toop, The Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Ultravox, Devo, Jon Hassell; a través de los cuales ha demostrado su concepción única de la música, incluso ha vuelto, ocasionalmente, al for- Escarcha N5-01 mato de canciones pop.

  • JON HASSELL/FARAFINA Flash of the Spirit
    DESCRIPTION Tak:Til/Glitterbeat present the first ever reissue and remastering of Jon Hassell and Farafina 's prescient, "Fourth World" masterwork, Flash of the Spirit , originally released in 1988. Propulsive Burkinese rhythms meet revelatory, ambient soundscapes. Co-produced with the legendary studio team of Brian Eno and Dainel Lanois . Composer and trumpeter Jon Hassell has been an elusive, iconic musical figure for more than half a century. He's best known as the pioneer and propagandist of "Fourth World" music, mixing technology with the tradition and spirituality of non-western cultures. In 1987 he joined with Farafina, the acclaimed percussion, voice, and dance troupe from Burkina Faso, to record Flash of the Spirit . While the album is a natural extension of those "Fourth World" ideas, and a new strand of Possible Musics, it also a distinctive outlier in the careers of both artists; an unrepeated merging of sounds whose influence still reverberates today. The eight members of the band -- who had also collaborated with the Rolling Stones and Ryuichi Sakamoto -- brought their long apprenticed, virtuosic drumming, and melodic textures (balafon, flute, voices) to the sessions. They built up layers and patterns of rhythm, while producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois (fresh off the success of U2 's Joshua Tree ) created a sonic atmosphere in which they could creatively intertwine with Hassell's digitally processed trumpet and keyboards. Despite their initial skepticism, the musicians from Farafina ended up relishing their interaction with the studio team and the trumpeter/conceptualist Hassell. The music that emerged was rich and groundbreaking, a move to transcend the boundaries between jazz, avant-garde classical, ambient and the deep rhythmic tradition embodied by Farafina.

In the second half of the 1970s, Brian Eno, Larry Fast, Mickey Hart, Stomu Yamashta and many other musicians blurred the lines between rock and avantgarde. Brian Eno (34), ex-keyboardist for Roxy Music, changed the course of rock music at least three times. The experiment of fusing pop and electronics on Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy (sep 1974 - nov 1974) changed the very notion of what a "pop song" is. Eno took cheap melodies (the kind that are used at the music-hall, on television commercials, by nursery rhymes) and added a strong rhythmic base and counterpoint of synthesizer. The result was similar to the novelty numbers and the "bubblegum" music of the early 1960s, but it had the charisma of sheer post-modernist genius. Eno had invented meta-pop music: avantgarde music that employs elements of pop music. He continued the experiment on Another Green World (aug 1975 - sep 1975), but then changed its perspective on Before And After Science (? 1977 - dec 1977). Here Eno's catchy ditties acquired a sinister quality.

  • Sonification As a Means to Generative Music Ian Baxter
    Sonification as a means to generative music By: Ian Baxter A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts & Humanities Department of Music January 2020 Abstract This thesis examines the use of sonification (the transformation of non-musical data into sound) as a means of creating generative music (algorithmic music which is evolving in real time and is of potentially infinite length). It consists of a portfolio of ten works where the possibilities of sonification as a strategy for creating generative works is examined. As well as exploring the viability of sonification as a compositional strategy toward infinite work, each work in the portfolio aims to explore the notion of how artistic coherency between data and resulting sound is achieved – rejecting the notion that sonification for artistic means leads to the arbitrary linking of data and sound. In the accompanying written commentary the definitions of sonification and generative music are considered, as both are somewhat contested terms requiring operationalisation to correctly contextualise my own work. Having arrived at these definitions each work in the portfolio is documented. For each work, the genesis of the work is considered, the technical composition and operation of the piece (a series of tutorial videos showing each work in operation supplements this section) and finally its position in the portfolio as a whole and relation to the research question is evaluated. The body of work is considered as a whole in relation to the notion of artistic coherency. This is separated into two main themes: the relationship between the underlying nature of the data and the compositional scheme and the coherency between the data and the soundworld generated by each piece.

Mai 2008 im LOFT (Köln), Eintritt 8 Euro, Einlaß 17 Uhr, Beginn 18 Uhr Kontakt und Information: Michael Peters, [email protected], Tel. 02207-912144 Was ist denn „Livelooping“? Livelooping-Musiker sind meist Solo-Musiker, die digitale Loop-Geräte (im Prinzip Echogeräte mit u.U. sehr langer Laufzeit) benutzen, um sich selbst in Echtzeit zu „multiplizieren“, d.h. die live erzeugten Klänge zu wiederholen und zu komplexen Klangschichten aufzutürmen. Das können rhythmische Gebilde sein, aber auch dichte Wolken von Ambient-Klängen. Auch ganze Songstrukturen können live mit Loops aufgebaut und dann als Grundlage für Soli benutzt werden. Der erste Livelooper (damals noch mit Hilfe von Tonbandgeräten = Tape Loops) war der amerikanische Minimalist Terry Riley, der in den späten 60ern mit seinem psychedelischen Loop- Stück „A Rainbow in Curved Air“ und nächtelangen loop-basierten „All Night Flights“ weltbekannt wurde. Später brachte der Ambient-Musik-Erfinder Brian Eno, dessen erstes Ambient-Werk "Discreet Music" mit Tape Loops realisiert wurde, dem King-Crimson-Gitarristen Robert Fripp diese Technik bei. Fripp erzeugte dann in den späten 70ern mit seiner elektrischen Gitarre und seinem „Frippertronics“- Tonbandsystem ungewöhnliche Klanggebilde und machte die Möglichkeiten des Livelooping vor allem Gitarristen bewußt, die nach neuen musikalischen Wegen suchten. Seit den 80ern kann Livelooping mit Hilfe von analogen, später digitalen Loop-Delays erzeugt werden; es gibt mittlerweile eine reichhaltige Auswahl an einfachen und komplexen Loop-Geräten sowie an Software für das Livelooping aus dem Computer. Eine wachsende weltweite Community von Loop-Musikern diskutiert seit über 10 Jahren die technischen und musikalischen Aspekte des Livelooping auf der Loopers Delight-Internet-Mailingliste, und in Amerika, Europa und Japan finden regelmäßig Festivals für Loop-basierte Musik statt.

Still, it was nearly impossible to deliver his solos or elaborate ragas. In fact, they have more in visual creations to the masses.

    GALLERIA VALENTINABONOMO BRIAN ENO Light Music Opening: 20 May 2016 h.17-20 Via del portico d’Ottavia 13 Roma 00186 www.galleriabonomo.com Per informazioni: tel. 06-6832766 / [email protected] GALLERIA VALENTINABONOMO Friday, 20 May 2016 – September 2016 Press Release The Galleria Valentina Bonomo is delighted to announce the inauguration the exhibition of Brian Eno on Friday, 20 May, 2016 from 6 to 9 pm at via del Portico d’Ottavia 13. The British multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer, Brian Eno, experiments with diverse forms of expression including sculpture, painting and video. Eno is the pioneer of ambient music and generative paintings; he has created soundtracks for numerous films and composed game and atmosphere music. ‘Non-music-music’, as he himself prefers to describe it, has the capacity to be utilized in multiple mediums, intermixing with figurative art to become immersive ‘soundscapes’. By using continuously moving images on multiple monitors, Brian Eno designs endless combination games with infinite varieties of forms, lights and sounds, where not everything is as it seems, and each thing is constantly shifting and changing in a casual and inexorable way, just like in life (ex. 77 Million Paintings). “As long as the screen is considered as just a medium for film or tv, the future is exclusively reserved to an increasing level of hysteria. I am interested in breaking the rigid relationship between the audience and the video: to make it so that the first does not remain seated, but observes the screen as if it were a painting.” Brian Eno For this project, the first of its kind to be realized in a private gallery in Rome, Eno puts together two diverse bodies of work, the light boxes and the speaking flowers.
