  • David Tudor: Live Electronic Music
    LMJ14_001- 11/15/04 9:54 AM Page 106 CD COMPANION INTRODUCTION David Tudor: Live Electronic Music The three pieces on the LMJ14 CD trace the development of David Tudor’s solo electronic music during the period from 1970 to 1984. This work has not been well docu- mented. Recordings of these pieces have never before been released. The three pieces each represent a different collaboration: with Experiments in Art and Technology (EAT), with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company (MCDC) and with Jacqueline Matisse Monnier [1]. The CD’s cover image, Toneburst Map 4, also arises from a collaboration, with the artist Sophia Ogielska. Anima Pepsi (1970) was composed for the pavilion designed by EAT for the 1970 Expo in Osaka, Japan. The piece made extensive use of a processing console consisting of eight identi- cal processors designed and built by Gordon Mumma and a spatialization matrix of 37 loud- speakers. Each processor consisted of a filter, an envelope follower, a ring modulator and a voltage-controlled amplifier. Anima Pepsi used this processing capability to transform a library of recordings of animal and insect sounds together with processed recordings of similar sources. Unlike most of Tudor’s solo electronics, this piece was intended to be performed by other members of the EAT collective, a practical necessity as the piece was to be performed repeatedly as part of the environment of the pavilion for the duration of the exposition. Toneburst (1975) was commissioned to accompany Merce Cunningham’s Sounddance. This recording is from a performance by MCDC, probably at the University of California at Berke- ley, where MCDC appeared fairly regularly.

    C H A P T E R 3 Early Electronic Music in the United States I was at a concert of electronic music in Cologne and I noticed that, even though it was the most recent electronic music, the audience was all falling asleep. No matter how interesting the music was, the audience couldn’t stay awake. That was because the music was coming out of loudspeakers. —John Cage Louis and Bebe Barron John Cage and The Project of Music for Magnetic Tape Innovation: John Cage and the Advocacy of Chance Composition Cage in Milan Listen: Early Electronic Music in the United States The Columbia–Princeton Electronic Music Center The Cooperative Studio for Electronic Music Roots of Computer Music Summary Milestones: Early Electronic Music of the United States Plate 3.1 John Cage and David Tudor, 1962. (John Cage Trust) 80 EARLY HISTORY – PREDECESSORS AND PIONEERS Electronic music activity in the United States during the early 1950s was neither organ- ized nor institutional. Experimentation with tape composition took place through the efforts of individual composers working on a makeshift basis without state support. Such fragmented efforts lacked the cohesion, doctrine, and financial support of their Euro- pean counterparts but in many ways the musical results were more diverse, ranging from works that were radically experimental to special effects for popular motion pictures and works that combined the use of taped sounds with live instrumentalists performing on stage. The first electronic music composers in North America did not adhere to any rigid schools of thought regarding the aesthetics of the medium and viewed with mixed skepticism and amusement the aesthetic wars taking place between the French and the Germans.
