Noisy Fields: Interference and Equivocality in the Sonic Legacies of Information Theory NOISY FIELDS: INTERFERENCE AND EQUIVOCALITY IN THE SONIC LEGACIES OF INFORMATION THEORY A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Nicholas Adrian Knouf August 2013 © 2013 Nicholas Adrian Knouf Some rights reserved (see Appendix A). NOISY FIELDS: INTERFERENCE AND EQUIVOCALITY IN THE SONIC LEGACIES OF INFORMATION THEORY Nicholas Adrian Knouf, Ph.D. Cornell University 2013 Noisy Fields: Interference and Equivocality in the Sonic Legacies of Information eory discusses the ways in which noise causes interferences within disciplinary fields. Noise tends to bring diverse disciplinary approaches together, interfering in their constitution and their dynamics. I understand noise to be more than ei- ther positive revolutionary potential or negative disruption; instead, noise functions equivocally, possessing aspects of each pole in varying degrees. As such, it is vi- tal to follow the machinations of noise. Considering noise as a material-discursive phenomenon, I trace its intersections with sonic practices and information theory. Noise was a key point of contention in the early debates surrounding the develop- ment of information theory,and I examine some situations that provide alternatives to the standard formulations. I then trace the interrelationships between informa- tion theory, noise, and early electronic music in the 1950s, outlining how artistic experiences necessitated the development of new information theories. Consider- ing the confluence of sound and information in finance, I show how noise is both understood as a potential source of monetization while ultimately confounding at- tempts at complete capture. I turn to the nexus of speech, the voice, and noise, to consider situations of parrhesia, or “fearless speech”, that consists of noisy interfer- ences within social systems via the activity of robotic performing objects. Finally, I listen to the electronic vocal manipulations of Maja Ratkje and Holly Herndon iv to consider a micropolitics of the noisy voice. In sum, I show how the analysis of noise requires a transdisciplinary approach in order to elucidate the complicated dynamics of its interferences. Biosketch Nicholas Adrian Knouf was born in Fort Dodge, Iowa. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Engineering and Applied Science from the California Institute of Tech- nology in 2002. He worked as a research assistant and lab manager in a cognitive neuroscience laboratory from 2002–2005, conducting research on face and object perception using functional MRI. He received his Master’s degree in Media Arts and Sciences from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2007. He com- pleted his PhD in Information Science at Cornell University in August 2013. Be- ginning in the fall of 2013 he will be an Assistant Professor of Cinema and Media Studies at Wellesley College. Acknowledgements I have been privileged to receive a tremendous amount of support—intellectual, emotional, and financial—throughout my graduate career. My dissertation committee has been incredibly accommodating over the past six years, understanding my continual need to integrate theory and practice and the consequent challenges of such an approach. I chose Cornell because I knew I could work with my chair, Phoebe Sengers, someone who would understand my idiosyn- cratic interests and support me in my own peripatetic path. Her ability to navigate differing disciplinary fields is a continual source of inspiration. Tarleton Gillespie has always provided probing questions that helped me to frame my work in more precise ways. I have worked closely with Timothy Murray in both his capacity as a member of my committee, as well as his position as Director of the Cornell Society for the Humanities. Tim’s support, insight, and friendship has been indispensable while navigating the trajectories of academia. In María Fernández I found someone committed to the close study of the history of new media arts, and her suggestions and knowledge have always helped me to produce better work. I have been honored to receive financial support that provided focused periods of writing; support to attend conferences and visit festivals or archives; and materi- als for the construction of artworks. I finished the dissertation through the support vii of the Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Completion Fellowship for the 2012–2013 aca- demic year. Previously, I was the recipient of a Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Graduate Fellowship at the Cornell Society for the Humanities during their 2011– 2012 theme year on “Sound: Culture, eory, Practice, Politics”. I also want to thank the Cornell Department of Information Science for the fellowship I received in my first year. I received travel support as a Intel Science and Technology Cen- ter for Social Computing Graduate Researcher, many times from the Cornell Uni- versity Graduate School, and via a Rose Goldsen Graduate Award to attend the transmediale festival. I additionally received funding for my artistic projects from the Cornell Council for the Arts and via a commission from turbulence.org. One of the most stimulating periods during my time at Cornell was the year that I spent as a Graduate Fellow at the Cornell Society for the Humanities. e camaraderie I felt during our discussions, lunches, and workshops highlighted the best aspects of academia. With my fellow Graduate Fellow Sarah Ensor we navi- gated the ups and downs of the academic job market. e other Fellows provided just the right mix of intellectual challenges and support. I am proud to consider them amongst my colleagues: Eliot Bates, Marcus Boon, Duane Corpis, Miloje Despic, Ziad Fahmy, Nina Sun Eidsheim, Andrea Hammer, Brian Hanrahan, Michael Jonik, Jeanette S. Jouili, Damien Keane, Brandon LaBelle, Yongwoo Lee, Eric Lott, Roger Moseley, Norie Neumark„ James Nisbet, Trevor Pinch, Jonathan Skinner, Jennifer Stoever-Ackerman, and Emily ompson. My home at Cornell was the Information Science Program and Department and the Culturally-Embedded Computing Group (CEmCom). I want to thank the following for their support throughout my time there: Phil Adams, Eric P. S. viii Baumer, Kirsten Boehner, Dan Cosley, Paul Ginsparg, Maria Håkansson, Hrönn Brynjarsdóttir Holmer, Nitesh Goyal, Shion Guha, Hansen Hsu, Steven Jackson, Laewoo Kang, Jofish Kaye, Vera Khovanskaya, Carl Lagoze, Lucian Leahu, Gilly Leshed, Meena Natarajan, Karin Patzke, Stephen Purpura, Sadat Shami, Niranjan Sivakumar, Jenn om, eresa Velden, Janet Vertesi, Kaiton Williams, and David Williamson. My future home will be in the Cinema and Media Studies Program at Wellesley College. I look forward to working with my new colleagues there, Maurizio Viano and Winifred Wood. Portions of this work have been presented in many venues over the past six years, and I want to acknowledge the feedback, thought-provoking questions, and generosity I received from audience members and colleagues: University at Buffalo; Wellesley College; Pratt Institute; Stevens Institute of Technology; Society for Lit- erature, Science, and the Arts; Society for the Social Studies of Science; Science Studies Research Group at Cornell University; Department of Information Sci- ence Breakfast Series; Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival at Ithaca College; transmediale; Piksel; University of California at Berkeley; dis/connecting/media; Emerson College; Upgrade! Boston; and Oberlin College.

  • Garage House Music Whats up with That
    Garage House Music whats up with that Future funk is a sample-based advancement of Nu-disco which formed out of the Vaporwave scene and genre in the early 2010s. It tends to be more energetic than vaporwave, including elements of French Home, Synth Funk, and making use of Vaporwave modifying techniques. A style coming from the mid- 2010s, often explained as a blend of UK garage and deep home with other elements and strategies from EDM, popularized in late 2014 into 2015, typically mixes deep/metallic/sax hooks with heavy drops somewhat like the ones discovered in future garage. One of the very first house categories with origins embeded in New York and New Jersey. It was named after the Paradise Garage bar in New york city that operated from 1977 to 1987 under the prominent resident DJ Larry Levan. Garage house established along with Chicago home and the outcome was home music sharing its resemblances, affecting each other. One contrast from Chicago house was that the vocals in garage house drew stronger impacts from gospel. Noteworthy examples consist of Adeva and Tony Humphries. Kristine W is an example of a musician involved with garage house outside the genre's origin of birth. Also understood as G-house, it includes very little 808 and 909 drum machine-driven tracks and often sexually explicit lyrics. See likewise: ghettotech, juke house, footwork. It integrates components of Chicago's ghetto house with electro, Detroit techno, Miami bass and UK garage. It includes four-on-the-floor rhythms and is normally faster than a lot of other dance music categories, at approximately 145 to 160 BPM.

Monaghan University of Limerick, Ireland Micheal O’Flynn The Open University in Ireland Abstract In 2009, US financier Bernard (Bernie) L. Madoff was jailed for 150 years after pleading guilty to running a massive ponzi scheme. While superficial condemnation was widespread, his US$65 billion fraud cannot be understood apart from the institutions, practices and fictions of contemporary finance capitalism. Madoff’s scam was rooted in the wider political prioritization of accumulation through debt expansion and the deregulated, desupervised and criminogenic environment facilitating it. More generally, global finance capital reproduces many of the core elements of the Madoff scam (i.e. mass deception, secrecy and obfuscation), particularly in neoliberalized Anglophone societies. We call this ‘Madoffization’. We suggest that societies are ‘Madoffized’, not only in the sense of their being subject to the ill-effects of speculative ponzi finance, but also in the sense that their prioritization of accumulation through debt expansion makes fraudulent practices, economic collapse and scapegoating inevitable. Keywords crisis, fictitious capital, financialization, fraud, neoliberalism, political economy Introduction In 2009, Bernard (Bernie) L. Madoff, a US financier, was jailed for 150 years after pleading guilty to running a ponzi scheme where he defrauded billions of dollars from his clients.

  • Popular Music in Germany the History of Electronic Music in Germany
    Course Title Popular Music in Germany The History of Electronic Music in Germany Course Number REMU-UT.9811001 SAMPLE SYLLABUS Instructors’ Contact Information Heiko Hoffmann [email protected] Course Details Wednesdays, 6:15pm to 7:30pm Location of class: NYU Berlin Academic Center, Room “Prenzlauer Berg” (tbc) Prerequisites No pre-requisites Units earned 2 credits Course Description From Karlheinz Stockhausen and Kraftwerk to Giorgio Moroder, D.A.F. and the Euro Dance of Snap!, the first nine weeks of class consider the history of German electronic music prior to the Fall of the Wall in 1989. We will particularly look at how electronic music developed in Germany before the advent of house and techno in the late 1980s. One focus will be on regional scenes, such as the Düsseldorf school of electronic music in the 1970s with music groups such as Cluster, Neu! and Can, the Berlin school of synthesizer pioneers like Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and Manuel Göttsching, or Giorgio Moroder's Sound of Munich. Students will be expected to competently identify key musicians and recordings of this creative period. The second half of the course looks more specifically at the arrival of techno, a new musical movement, and new technology in Berlin and Germany in the turbulent years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall, up to the present. Indeed, Post-Wall East Berlin, full of abandoned spaces and buildings and deserted office blocks, was the perfect breeding ground for the youth culture that would dominate the 1990s and led techno pioneers and artists from the East and the West to take over and set up shop.
