Eaton, Hall Services Marilyn Hunter, Youth Activities Faces of the BSO: Orchestra Members Onstage and Off Currently on display in the Huntington Avenue corridor of the Cohen Wing is an exhibit that presents an informal look at the men and women of the Boston Symphony Orchestra over the years. Drawing from the extensive collection of photo- graphs in the BSO Archives, as well as scores, programs, and other memorabilia, the exhibit not only examines the players as members of the BSO but also explores some of their special tal- ents and outside activities. BSO bass trombonist Douglas Yeo, who has published several articles on the history of the BSO's brass section, con- ceived the idea for this exhibit and worked with the Archives staff to mount it. Pictured here with composer Roy Harris (center), on the occasion of the February 26, 1943 world premiere of his Fifth Symphony, are BSO brass players Lucien Hansotte, Georges Mager, Jacob Raichman, and John Coffey.

Mentor: dr Vesna Mikić, redovni profesor, Univerzitet umetnosti u Beogradu, Fakultet muzičke umetnosti, Katedra za muzikologiju Članovi komisije: 2 Digitalna tehnologija u srpskoj umetničkoj muzici Rezime Od prepravke vojnog digitalnog hardvera entuzijasta i amatera nakon Drugog svetskog rata, preko institucionalnog razvoja šezdesetih i sedamdesetih i globalne ekspanzije osamdesetih i devedesetih godina prošlog veka, računari su prešli dug put od eksperimenta do podrazumevanog sredstva za rad u gotovo svakoj ljudskoj delatnosti. Paralelno sa ovim razvojem, praćena je i nit njegovog „preseka“ sa umetničkim muzičkim poljem, koja se manifestovala formiranjem interdisciplinarne umetničke prakse računarske muzike koju stvaraju muzički inženjeri – kompozitori koji vladaju i veštinama programiranja i digitalne sinteze zvuka. Kako bi se muzički sistemi i teorije preveli u računarske programe, bilo je neophodno sakupiti i obraditi veliku količinu podataka, te je uspostavljena i zajednička humanistička disciplina – computational musicology. Tokom osamdesetih godina na umetničku scenu stupa nova generacija autora koji na računaru postepeno počinju da obavljaju sve više poslova, te se pojava „kućnih“ računara poklapa sa „prelaskom“ iz modernizma u postmodernizam, pa i ideja muzičkog inženjeringa takođe proživljava transformaciju iz objektivističke, sistematske autonomne

  • BEAUTIFUL NOISE Directions in Electronic Music
    BEAUTIFUL NOISE Directions in Electronic Music www.ele-mental.org/beautifulnoise/ A WORK IN PROGRESS (3rd rev., Oct 2003) Comments to [email protected] 1 A Few Antecedents The Age of Inventions The 1800s produce a whole series of inventions that set the stage for the creation of electronic music, including the telegraph (1839), the telephone (1876), the phonograph (1877), and many others. Many of the early electronic instruments come about by accident: Elisha Gray’s ‘musical telegraph’ (1876) is an extension of his research into telephone technology; William Du Bois Duddell’s ‘singing arc’ (1899) is an accidental discovery made from the sounds of electric street lights. “The musical telegraph” Elisha Gray’s interesting instrument, 1876 The Telharmonium Thaddeus Cahill's telharmonium (aka the dynamophone) is the most important of the early electronic instruments. Its first public performance is given in Massachusetts in 1906. It is later moved to NYC in the hopes of providing soothing electronic music to area homes, restaurants, and theatres. However, the enormous size, cost, and weight of the instrument (it weighed 200 tons and occupied an entire warehouse), not to mention its interference of local phone service, ensure the telharmonium’s swift demise. Telharmonic Hall No recordings of the instrument survive, but some of Cahill’s 200-ton experiment in canned music, ca. 1910 its principles are later incorporated into the Hammond organ. More importantly, Cahill’s idea of ‘canned music,’ later taken up by Muzak in the 1960s and more recent cable-style systems, is now an inescapable feature of the contemporary landscape.

  • A Retrospective
    Presents 29TH ANNUAL USSACHEVSKY MEMORIAL FESTIVAL OF ELECTRO ACOUSTIC MUSIC A Retrospective POMONA COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC TOM FLAHERTY, FESTIVAL DIRECTOR FACULTY AND GUEST ARTIST RECITAL STREAMING SUNDAY, MARCH 28, 2021 AT 3:00 P.M. 29th Annual Ussachevsky Memorial Festival of Electro Acoustic Music Vladimir Ussachevsky (1911–1990), Pomona ’35, was a pioneer in the field of electronic music and co- founder of the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center in New York. Among his early compositions was Jubilee Cantata (1937), performed by the Pomona College Choir and Orchestra to celebrate the College’s 50th anniversary. In 1988 he was commissioned to write To the Young in commemoration of Pomona’s 100th anniversary. He left a bequest to the college to support activities in the field of electronic music, which funded much of our equipment and the founding of this series. For the past several years the series and ongoing equipment needs have been supported by the generosity of Marilyn Gaddis ’50, who established a fund to support Pomona’s Electronic Studio. Welcome to the 29th Annual Ussachevsky Memorial Festival of Electro Acoustic Music! Since 1993, we’ve invited out-of-town guests whom we might not often see in Los Angeles as composers, performers, or inventors who have made significant contributions to the world of new music with electronics. In light of COVID, rather than present a live concert, we are taking the opportunity to present a retrospective selection of a few of those guests. Composer and violinist Mari Kimura plays her Eigenspace. Invisible Anatomy performs Brendon Randall- Myers’s “Permission.” Composer/pianist Eric Moe performs his The Sun Beats the Mountain Like a Drum.

A) B) C) NEWPORT, RI: The work of realist painters Nancy Gaucher-Thomas, Gretchen Dow Simpson and Mimo Gordon Riley will be featured together for the first time in “The Abstract in Realism,” an exhibition running at the Newport Art Museum beginning September 4, 2010 and running through January 2, 2011. The Museum hosts a reception for its new exhibitions on Friday, September 10, 5 to 7 pm, 76 Bellevue Avenue, Newport, Rhode Island. The reception is free for Newport Art Museum members, $10 for non-members. In group and solo shows throughout the United States, each of these three artists has demonstrated a distinct style and subject matter, but they share a strong sense of composition, an appreciation for mystery, and an approach to their representational paintings and drawings that incorporates many of the characteristics we usually associate with abstract art. “The Abstract in Realism” includes dramatic portraits drawn in charcoal on Mylar as well as watercolors, Simpson’s meditations on architectural details and the landscape; and a progression of Riley’s colorful, mosaic-like tree paintings.

  • Max Mathews (1926–2011)
    Max Mathews (1926–2011) MAY 09, 2011 by Geeta Dayal Max Mathews on his 80th birthday (2007) An extensive interview with the late pioneer of computer music, covering Bell Labs, John Cage, Stockhausen and HAL’s voice Max Mathews, known as the father of computer music, passed away last month at the age of 84. In this interview, conducted at his home in San Francisco three weeks before his death, Mathews discusses his life and work – an incredible career that included blazing the trail for digital sound synthesis in the 1950s; directing acoustics and behavioural research at Bell Labs from 1962 to 1985; pioneering computer-based live performance in the 1970s; and collaborating with John Cage, Edgard Varèse, and many other noted artists and composers. Geeta Dayal: How did you get started with working with computers? Max Mathews: I was in love with computers. When I went to MIT [in 1950], I worked in the summer in the Bureau of Standards on an analogue computer. In addition to taking courses at MIT, I worked in the Dynamic Analysis and Control Laboratory, which was a big analogue computer. The digital computer at MIT in those days was called Whirlwind; it was very interesting but hadn’t, in my opinion, yet developed to an extent that it could solve interesting problems for the world. The analogue computers were much further developed, and were doing that. So that’s why I went in that direction. The Dynamic Analysis and Control Laboratory developed from a wartime analogue computer called a differential analyzer, which was a brainchild of Vannevar Bush.

  • From Kotoński to Duchnowski. Polish Electroacoustic Music
    MIECZYSŁAW KOMINEK (Warszawa) From Kotoński to Duchnowski. Polish electroacoustic music ABSTRACT: Founded in November 1957, the Experimental Studio of Polish Radio (SEPR) was the fifth electronic music studio in Europe and the seventh in the world. It was an extraordinary phenomenon in the reality of the People’s Poland of those times, equally exceptional as the Warsaw Autumn International Festival of Contemporary Music, established around the same time - in 1956. Both these ‘institutions’ would be of fundamental significance for contemporary Polish music, and they would collabo­ rate closely with one another. But the history of Polish electroacoustic music would to a large extent be the history of the Experimental Studio. The first autonomous work for tape in Poland was Włodzimierz Kotoñski’s Etiuda konkretna (na jedno uderzenie w talerz) [Concrete study (for a single strike of a cymbal)], completed in November 1958. It was performed at the Warsaw Autumn in i960, and from then on electroacoustic music was a fixture at the festival, even a marker of the festival’s ‘modernity’, up to 2002 - the year when the last special ‘con­ cert of electroacoustic music’ appeared on the programme. In 2004, the SEPR ceased its activities, but thanks to computers, every composer can now have a studio at home. There are also thriving electroacoustic studios at music academies, with the Wroclaw studio to the fore, founded in 1998 by Stanisław Krupowicz, the leading light of which became Cezary Duchnowski. Also established in Wroclaw, in 2005, was the biennial International Festival of Electroacoustic Music ‘Música Electrónica Nova’. KEYWORDS: electroacoustic music, electronic music, concrete music, music for tape, generators, experimental Studio of Polish Radio, “Warsaw Autumn” International Festival of Contemporary Music, live electronic, synthesisers, computer music The beginnings of electroacoustic music can be sought in works scored for, or including, electric instruments.
