Digital Fabrication As a Tool for Investigating Traditional Chinese Architecture a Case Study of the Dou Gong Digital fabrication as a tool for investigating traditional Chinese architecture A case study of the dou gong Di Li1, Michael Knight2, Andre Brown3 1,2,3University of Liverpool, UK 1,2,3{di.li2|mknight|andygpb}@liverpool.ac.uk This paper presents part of a broader research project in which a set of complementary computational techniques have been applied to investigate and interpret traditional Chinese architecture. The techniques involve digital modelling, algorithmic representation and digital fabrication. The ancient rule books that describe the traditional Chinese design styles and construction technologies are the basis for the parametric rules and algorithms and the application to the modelling and fabrication process. The focus of this paper is the study of a typical Chinese joint structure, the dou gong. The precedent case study and the components of the dou gong are reviewed and analysed. Then the digital representation and fabrication processes that have been employed are demonstrated. Practical problems were found in this process and modifications were consequently made. At the end of the paper, we discuss the achievements and benefits that arise from this investigation, and potential applications in practice. Conclusions from work presented in this paper and for the broader research are drawn respectively. Significant prospective work is suggested.

Figure 1 dou gong (Liang, CASE STUDY OVERVIEW AND PRECEDENT 1985) There are the only two surviving ancient rule-books: Ying Zao Fa Shi (Building Standards) from Song Dy- nasty (960-1279) and Ching Dynasty: Kung-ch'eng tso-fa tse-le (Structural Regulations) from Ching Dy- nasty (1616-1912), which are referred to as the "two text books of Chinese ancient architecture" by Liang (1985). According to Li (2001), Ying Zao Fa Shi is rule- based and indicates parametric characteristics. The joint, called the dou gong, is described in one of the carpentry volumes in Ying Zao Fa Shi (Li et al. 2013), which is the bracket set on top of the columns and under the beams and the roof. To understand the dou gong parametrically, two approaches can be taken. First, the dou gong is treated as a whole rather than focusing on each in- dividual element and the modelling process concen- trates on building up the whole structure and set- ting up the position of all the elements.

    THE COMPOSITIONAL PROCEDURES USED IN JOHN CAGE'S SIX SHORT INVENTIONS , FIRST CONSTRUCTION (IN METAL) , AND SPONTANEOUS EARTH Jesse James Guessford, D.M.A Department of Music University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2004 Sever Tipei, Advisor This study describes the processes that John Cage used in the composition of Six Short Inventions , First Construction (in Metal) , and Spontaneous Earth . With a lack of interest in John Cage’s early works, this study sheds light on the way in which these three early works are composed. In this study, the development of Cage’s square-root or micro-macrocosmic form is explored and then traced from the forms genesis to later modifications of the form. The centerpiece of the article is a description of the techniques used to create First Construction (in Metal) . Using Cage’s correspondence with Pierre Boulez as a starting point, the organizational tools and methods are uncovered and traced throughout the piece. Six Short Inventions is found to be an embryonic piece that holds traces of many of the techniques that come into existence in First Construction (in Metal) . Spontaneous Earth is used to follow the maturation of these techniques in Cage’s hands. © 2004 by Jesse James Guessford.

  • John Cage's Entanglement with the Ideas Of
    JOHN CAGE’S ENTANGLEMENT WITH THE IDEAS OF COOMARASWAMY Edward James Crooks PhD University of York Music July 2011 John Cage’s Entanglement with the Ideas of Coomaraswamy by Edward Crooks Abstract The American composer John Cage was famous for the expansiveness of his thought. In particular, his borrowings from ‘Oriental philosophy’ have directed the critical and popular reception of his works. But what is the reality of such claims? In the twenty years since his death, Cage scholars have started to discover the significant gap between Cage’s presentation of theories he claimed he borrowed from India, China, and Japan, and the presentation of the same theories in the sources he referenced. The present study delves into the circumstances and contexts of Cage’s Asian influences, specifically as related to Cage’s borrowings from the British-Ceylonese art historian and metaphysician Ananda K. Coomaraswamy. In addition, Cage’s friendship with the Jungian mythologist Joseph Campbell is detailed, as are Cage’s borrowings from the theories of Jung. Particular attention is paid to the conservative ideology integral to the theories of all three thinkers. After a new analysis of the life and work of Coomaraswamy, the investigation focuses on the metaphysics of Coomaraswamy’s philosophy of art. The phrase ‘art is the imitation of nature in her manner of operation’ opens the doors to a wide- ranging exploration of the mimesis of intelligible and sensible forms. Comparing Coomaraswamy’s ‘Traditional’ idealism to Cage’s radical epistemological realism demonstrates the extent of the lack of congruity between the two thinkers. In a second chapter on Coomaraswamy, the extent of the differences between Cage and Coomaraswamy are revealed through investigating their differing approaches to rasa , the Renaissance, tradition, ‘art and life’, and museums.

  • A Performer's Guide to the Prepared Piano of John Cage
    A Performer’s Guide to the Prepared Piano of John Cage: The 1930s to 1950s. A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Keyboard Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music By Sejeong Jeong B.M., Sookmyung Women’s University, 2011 M.M., Illinois State University, 2014 ________________________________ Committee Chair : Jeongwon Joe, Ph. D. ________________________________ Reader : Awadagin K.A. Pratt ________________________________ Reader : Christopher Segall, Ph. D. ABSTRACT John Cage is one of the most prominent American avant-garde composers of the twentieth century. As the first true pioneer of the “prepared piano,” Cage’s works challenge pianists with unconventional performance practices. In addition, his extended compositional techniques, such as chance operation and graphic notation, can be demanding for performers. The purpose of this study is to provide a performer’s guide for four prepared piano works from different points in the composer’s career: Bacchanale (1938), The Perilous Night (1944), 34'46.776" and 31'57.9864" For a Pianist (1954). This document will detail the concept of the prepared piano as defined by Cage and suggest an approach to these prepared piano works from the perspective of a performer. This document will examine Cage’s musical and philosophical influences from the 1930s to 1950s and identify the relationship between his own musical philosophy and prepared piano works. The study will also cover challenges and performance issues of prepared piano and will provide suggestions and solutions through performance interpretations.

  • CAGE WAKES up JOYCE Recycling Through Finnegans Wake
    CAGE WAKES UP JOYCE Recycling Through Finnegans Wake Ana Luísa Valdeira In the beginning was the word. I’ll begin with one: APPLE. Can you imagine one right now? Is it a red apple? Is it a green one? Does it smell of anything? Where is it? Is it on a tree? On a table? You can visualize any apple or any table. And each one of you will think diHerently, and not even two of you will create in your mind the same apple or the same table. That will never happen. Do you think the word APPLE appears in Finnegans Wake ? Those who have read it perhaps cannot remember very well because it is not a strange word, but I can tell you that the term, either alone or in the beginning, middle, or end of a diHerent word, appears around 30 times. Here are a few examples: Knock knock. War’s where! Which war? The Twwinns. Knock knock. Woos with- out! Without what? An apple. Knock knock.

  • 10. John Cage Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano: Sonatas I–III
    10. John Cage Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano: Sonatas I–III (For Unit 6: Further Musical Understanding) Background information and performance circumstances John Cage (1912-92) is now recognised as one of the most influential figures in twentieth- century music, although in his own time he was widely maligned and misunderstood, almost inevitably as he questioned so many of the fundamentals of western music. His principal achievements were to: ● develop the use of percussion ● exploit elements of chance and indeterminacy in performance ● explore new sound sources (including the prepared piano) ● use new forms of graphic notation ● be open to the influence of eastern philosophy on western art, both in his music and in his extensive writings. During the late 1930s, Cage moved towards composing music for percussion instruments. He considered rhythmic duration to be the most significant of the musical elements. Consequently, the system that Cage developed for giving rhythmic structure to music depended on using mathematical proportions to govern both the large-scale and small-scale dimensions of a work. Cage described his technique of rhythmic structure as ‘micro- macrocosmic’; it was first used significantly in the First Construction (in Metal), and then it dominated his compositions up to and beyond the Sonatas and Interludes. Composition for percussion and for modern dance led to the invention of the prepared piano. From the late 1930s, Cage was the musical director for a number of dance companies, eventually leading him to work for Merce Cunningham, who required him to write music to a predetermined number of beats, not necessarily organised or regular in terms of metrical schemes.

  • Department of Music John Cage's Quartet For
    DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC JOHN CAGE’S QUARTET FOR PERCUSSION: ORIGINALITY THROUGH COLLECTIVE INFLUENCE RECITAL RESEARCH PAPER by Michael Feathers Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Music June 17, 2014 Fig. 1. Title page from the original manuscript of John Cage’s Quartet for Percussion. Used with permission by the John Cage Trust. Introduction John Cage was one of the most influential composers of the twentieth century. His status as a musical pioneer began when he listened to and absorbed the styles of other modern composers during the 1920s and 1930s such as Henry Cowell and Arnold Schoenberg. During this period many young composers gravitated toward the styles of either Arnold Schoenberg or Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. Because of Cage’s iconoclastic nature, he was instinctively drawn to the Schoenberg aesthetic and sought an opportunity to meet with Schoenberg. He was given the chance to study formal compositional techniques and he attempted to tackle Schoenberg’s own twelve-tone system. It was around this time that, after a few efforts writing in the atonal style, Cage ultimately admitted that he had no ear for harmony and began composing for percussion, thus beginning his journey toward originality that forever broadened the definition of musical sound. 1 The scope of this research will examine John Cage’s first percussion composition, Quartet for Percussion (1935), on an historical and analytical basis in order to define his early style and influences. Although Cage tirelessly sought the opportunity to study with Schoenberg in the early 1930s, other composers and artists who had a more direct impact on Cage’s signature sound will also be discussed.

  • Press Kit and Program Notes for the John Cage Bootlegs Project
    The Bootlegs are… • A blank LP with unique cover art. • A sampler CD from one of our Cage @ 100 concerts. • A “dropcard” which provides access to download every bootleg recording we make. • A limited release by Cantaloupe Music: out March 27, 2012. “Music is continuous; only listening is intermittent” -John Cage, after Henry David Thoreau John Cage’s artistic legacy is formidable. His innovations and accomplishments are truly staggering: Cage wrote some the first electric/acoustic hybrid music, the first significant body of percussion music, the first music for turntables, invented the prepared piano, and had a huge impact in the fields of dance, visual art, theater, and critical theory. Somehow Cage’s prolific output seems not to stifle, but rather to spur creativity in others. He certainly deserves surveys, tributes, and portraits during the centenary of his birth. But Sō Percussion wanted to do him honor by allowing his work and spirit to infuse our own. In 2012, we decided to put Cage’s music together with new music created for the occasion. We believe that most of it should not strive towards the “definitive,” but be ever changing and always new. Whether or not that lofty goal is achieved, we’re going to throw up a couple of mics every time we play it and see what happens. 2 Performance Dates and Venues of Bootleg Recordings 2011 Friday, September 9 - 9pm Musikfest Bremen Bremen, Germany Friday, September 16 - 7:30pm Pittsburg State University Pittsburg, KS Monday, October 24 - 7:30pm Friends of Chamber Music Portland, OR Wednesday, October 26 - 8pm Stanford Lively Arts Palo Alto, CA Saturday, October 29 - 8pm; Sunday, October 30 - 2pm The Mondavi Center U.C.
