An interface for manipulating these elements is suggested, based on the concept of a disk-jockey turntable as a performance instrument. A system is developed around this idea, enabling optical pickup of visual informa- tion from physical media as input to processes on the computer. Software architecture(s) are discussed and examples are implemented, illustrating the potential uses of the interface for the purpose of creative expression in the virtual domain.

  • Electronic Music
    191 1957/58, No. 6 ELECTRONIC MUSIC by H. BADINGS *) and J. W. de BRUYN. 789.983: 621.395.625.3: 681.84.087.27 The term "electronic music" is sometimes used when compositions, written for conventional musical instruments, are performed with the aid of electronic devices such as the Hammond organ, the "Ündes Martenot" or electtonic music synthesizers **). In recent years, however, the term has come (,0 mean something quite different, being applied to music whose actual composition is based on the use of electronic aids, especially of magnetic recording. These aids can be so employed as to produce entirely new sounds, of which neither the Hammond organ nor any conuentiorusl instrument would be capable. One of the leading figures in this new field of electronic music is the Dutch composer Henk Badings. His radiophonic opera "Ürestes" , in which electronic aids play a substantial part, was awarded the Prix Iuilio. in 1954 and has since received more than 200 performances. In his ballet music "Cain and Abel" - which had its first public performance in May 1956 at The Hague - he makes almost exclusive use of electronic aids. Badings' decision to undertake such an experiment evidently owes much to the fact that, having studied engineering at Delft, he has always been keenly interested in technological problems, particularly in those of an acoustical nature. The fairly extensive range of electrooie instrumerus required to produce "Cain and Abel" was placed at Badings' disposal by Philips Research Laboratories in Eindhoven. It washere that the score was realized jointly by the composer and the co-author of the present article and recorded for performance on magnetic tape.

  • 394 GLOSSARY Acid Jazz Late 1980S and 1990S
    GLOSSARY Acid Jazz Late 1980s and 1990s trend where “London fashion victims created their own early seventies-infatuated bohemia by copying jazz-funk records of the era note by note.”1 Associated with DJ Giles Peterson, acid jazz combined jazz and funk influence with electronica to produce a “danceable” version of jazz. Some of the most prominent British artists associated with acid jazz include are the band 4Hero, producer Ronny Jordan, and the James Taylor Quartet (the last of which at one point included Nitin Sawhney.) Ambient Music intended to create a particular atmosphere. Brian Eno, considered a pioneer of the genre, notes, “One of the most important differences between ambient music and nearly any other kind of pop music is that it doesn’t have a narrative structure at all, there are no words, and there isn’t an attempt to make a story of some kind.”2 Ambient music often substitutes distinct melodies and rhythmic patterns for a wash of sound. Some prominent British artists during the 1990s include The Orb, KLF, Mixmaster Morris and Aphex Twin. Bhangra Bhangra originated as a male folk dance in Punjab to accompany the harvest festival, Baisakhi. It is still performed as a folk dance and may be identified by its characteristic swinging rhythm played on the dhol and dholki, double-sided barrel drums. From the late 1970s onwards, Punjabi immigrants in Britain began to fuse with electronic dance styles including house music and later hip-hop.3 These styles produced a distinct genre of music that was recognized as one of the first prominent examples of British Asian youth culture.

    ASSOCIATION FOR RECORDED SOUND COLLECTIONS PROGRAM 46th Annual Conference Rochester, NY May 16-20, 2012 ARSC GRATEFULLY ACKNOWLEDGES OUR CONFERENCE HOST: THE EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC The Eastman School of Music extends a warm welcome to ARSC! Since its founding in 1921, Eastman has sought to be a lead- er in the field of music education, and has produced some of the 20th century’s greatest musicians. Eastman has also long recognized the power and the teaching potential of recorded sound. In 1933 the School began to record the performances of new original works, as well as performances by its students, faculty members, and ensem- bles, many of whom have gone on to record commercially. Special thanks to the Eastman colleagues who have helped make this conference happen: Wendy Borden, Suzanne Stover, Ramon Ricker, Helen Smith, and in particular Dean Douglas Lowry and Executive Associate Dean Jamal Rossi for their continued support. Also, we would like to acknowledge others in the Rochester com- munity who have helped bring this conference to fruition: Carol Bartlett and Michael Hardy of VisitRochester, Andrea Walton of the University of Rochester Parking & Transportation Services, Michelle Caton of Max of Eastman Place, Marion Oyer and Kris Scofield of Bags Unlimited, Audrey Blocchi of the Strong National Museum of Play, and Anne Callanan of the Susan B. Anthony House. We hope you enjoy your time in Rochester and that you will have a chance to experience some of what western New York has to offer, from Niagara Falls to the Finger Lakes wine country, and all the area in between.

  • Hermeneutics of Suspicion: Paranoia and the Technological Sublime in Drum and Bass Music by Dale Chapman Mount Allison University
    ECHO: a music-centered journal www.echo.ucla.edu Volume 5 Issue 2 (Fall 2003) Hermeneutics of Suspicion: Paranoia and the Technological Sublime in Drum and Bass Music by Dale Chapman Mount Allison University 1. Few recent films, independent or otherwise, approach the degree of taut, visceral intensity generated by the movie ! (Daniel Aronovsky, 1998). With its story of a brilliant mathematician haunted by the elusive specter of a powerful equation—an equation charged with explaining the most unpredictable patterns in our universe—! taps into the heady mixture of euphoria and paranoia that characterizes its cultural moment. One of the most intense moments in the film, though, takes place before this story even gets properly under way. The title sequence of ! captures an intense synergy between aural and visual manipulation: as the movie begins, a nebulous, sustained texture provides a musical extension of the mute signifier “!” which is presented to us in its enigmatic Greek spelling. Through this lens, the concept of pi seems to take on a quality of abstraction, as something that can be labeled by a single, opaque symbol. As the tentative first beats of the theme’s breakbeat groove come in, however, the true significance of “pi” becomes fleshed out: firstly through the 3.14 that constitutes the layperson’s understanding of pi, then in terms of the infinite string of digits that make up the larger totality of this irrational number. The visual representation of this string is immensely powerful, as the digits are scrolled upwards far too quickly for the viewer to grasp. 2.

  • Rumble in the Jungle: the Invisible History of Drum'n'bass
    1 Rumble In The Jungle: The Invisible History of Drum’n’Bass Steven Quinn Transformations, No. 3 (May 2002) http://www.cqu.edu.au/transformations ISSN 1444-377 Abstract: Drum’n’bass is a musical form that expresses the antagonisms of British identity in the 1990s and it also situates itself outside of the dominant terms of African-American expressions of black identity. It speaks of a more productive possibility in the traditional relationship between national and global polarities or public and private histories. Being at once an expression of the crucial significance of place in any characterisation of identity, it also recognises the influence of circumstances that exist outside of the narrow terms of national affiliation. Drum’n’bass represents a metonymic formulation of the long history of race and migration and its (often invisible) effects on the nature of British cultural identity in particular and popular music in general. Key terms: Drum’n’Bass, British cultural identity, Black cultural identity, electronic dance music, rave, Harry Beck, London Underground Map Sound Effects Roots don’t stay in one place. They change shape. They change colour. And they grow. There is no such thing as a pure point of origin, least of all in something as slippery as music, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t history.1 Dick Hebdige Some time in the future you open an encyclopedia, as there is a specific style of music that you want to learn more about. You flick to the section labelled ‘D’ and move through the pages until you find the entry you are looking for.
