  • Eminent 310 Unique
    Eminent 310 Unique The Eminent 310 Unique is a home electronic organ that was built and introduced in 1972 by the Dutch organ manufacturer Eminent Orgelbouw B.V.[1] in Lelystad, the Netherlands. 9. ARP String Ensemble ⓠThe sounds it incorporates are violin, viola, trumpet, horn, cello, and contrabass. The keyboard uses organ style divide-down technology to make it polyphonic, the built-in chorus effect gives the instrument its distinctive sound. Just a quick test to see if the VP-03 is up for some classic phased pads with an Electro Harmonix Small Stone phaser. I didn't push the mini-jack plug all the way into the socket on the VP-03, the chorus gets a bit more wobbly when the stereo channels are combined to mono. This video shows the Eminent 310 Unique in action. This is the organ heard on Oxygene!

Most of these approaches, in one form or another, ac- knowledge the impact of synthesisers on musical culture, either by celebrating their role in powering avant-garde eras of sonic experimentation and composition, or by mapping the relationship between manufacturing trends and stylistic divergences in popular mu- sic. The availability of affordable, portable and approachable synthesiser designs has been highlighted as a catalyst for their crossover from academic to popular spheres, while a number of authors have dealt with the transition from analogue to digital tech- nologies and their effect on the stylisation of performance and production approaches3.

Gene Radzik: We’re located in San Francisco, California at the mixing studios of Dolby Laboratories with Tom [Thomas Elroy] Oberheim. Tom, thank you for granting this interview. For this oral history, I’d like to begin by capturing your back history. Would you mind telling us when and where you were born, and how audio entered your life? Tom Oberheim: I was born in Manhattan, Kansas— home of Kansas State University. Although it was Kansas State College when I was there. I was born in that town and raised— and went to school there and went right on to the Kansas State. In 1956 I got the bug to leave town for a while and met some people in Wichita and moved to California and arrived in California in July of ’56 with $10 in my pocket and a broken down car and that’s where I started. The first few months I just worked at a— at an aircraft company that needed somebody in their dark room because I had worked in a camera shop when I was in high school.

  • Generic Artistic Strategies and Ambivalent Affect
    I GENERIC ARTISTIC STRATEGIES AND AMBIVALENT AFFECT THOMAS SMITH A thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Art & Design 2019 THOMAS SMITH II Surname/Family Name : Smith Given Name/s : Thomas William Abbreviation for degree as give in the University calendar : 1292 – PhD Art, Design and Media Faculty : Faculty of Art & Design School : School of Art & Design Generic Artistic Strategies and Ambivalent Thesis Title : Affect This practice-based thesis investigates how contemporary artists are using generic artistic strategies and ambivalent affect to inhabit post-digital conditions. It proposes that artists reproducing and re-performing generic post-digital aesthetics both engender and are enveloped by ambivalent affect, and that these strategies are immanently political rather than overtly critical. I argue that ambivalent artworks secede from requirements for newness and innovation, and the exploitation of creative labour that are a feature of post-digital environments. Drawing on Sianne Ngai’s affect theory and Paolo Virno’s post-Fordist thinking, I summarise contemporary conditions for creativity as a ‘general intellect of the post-digital’; proposing that artists’ and workers’ relations with this mode of production are necessarily ambivalent. Throughout this research I produced several performance and video works that exemplify this ambivalence. These works reproduce standardised electronic music, stock imagery and PowerPoint presentations, alongside re-performances of digital labour such as online shopping, image searches, and paying rent online. Through these examples I develop concepts for discussing generic aesthetics, framing them as vital to understanding post-digital conditions. I address works by other artists including Amalia Ulman’s Excellences and Perfections (2014), which I argue is neither critical nor complicit with generic post-digital routines, but rather signals affective ambivalence and a desire to secede from social media performance.
