The Hell Harp of Hieronymus Bosch. the Building of an Experimental Musical Instrument, and a Critical Account of an Experience of a Community of Musicians
1 (114) Independent Project (Degree Project), 30 higher education credits Master of Fine Arts in Music, with specialization in Improvisation Performance Academy of Music and Drama, University of Gothenburg Spring 2019 Author: Johannes Bergmark Title: The Hell Harp of Hieronymus Bosch. The building of an experimental musical instrument, and a critical account of an experience of a community of musicians. Supervisors: Professor Anders Jormin, Professor Per Anders Nilsson Examiner: Senior Lecturer Joel Eriksson ABSTRACT Taking a detail from Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden Of Earthly Delights as a point of departure, an instrument is built for a musical performance act deeply involving the body of the musician. The process from idea to performance is recorded and described as a compositional and improvisational process. Experimental musical instrument (EMI) building is discussed from its mythological and sociological significance, and from autoethnographical case studies of processes of invention. The writer’s experience of 30 years in the free improvisation and new music community, and some basic concepts: EMIs, EMI maker, musician, composition, improvisation, music and instrument, are analyzed and criticized, in the community as well as in the writer’s own work. The writings of Christopher Small and surrealist ideas are main inspirations for the methods applied. Keywords: Experimental musical instruments, improvised music, Hieronymus Bosch, musical performance art, music sociology, surrealism Front cover: Hieronymus Bosch, The Garden of Earthly -
Creative Musical Instrument Design
CREATIVE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT DESIGN: A report on experimental approaches, unusual creations and new concepts in the world of musical and sound instruments. A thesis submitted to the SAE Institute, London, in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree in Recording Arts, awarded by Middlesex University. Author: Andrea Santini Student: 42792 Intake: RAD0503X Project Tutors: Christopher Hayne Darren Gash London, August 2004 c r e a t i v e m u s i c a l i n s t r u m e n t d e s i g n Abstract The following document presents the results of an investigation into the current reality of creative musical-instrument and sound-instrument design. The focus of this research is on acoustic and electro-acoustic devices only, sound sources involving oscillators, synthesis and sampling, be it analogue or digital, have therefore been excluded. Also, even though occasional reference will be made to historical and ‘ethnical’ instruments, they will not be treated as a core issue, the attention being primarily centered on contemporary creations. The study includes an overview of the most relevant “sonic creations” encountered in the research and chosen as representative examples to discuss the following aspects: o Interaction between body and instrument. o Sonic Space o Tuning and layout of pitches o Shapes, materials and elements o Sonic objects, noise and inharmonic sources o Aesthetics: sound instruments as art objects o Amplification and transducer technologies These where chosen to provide some degree of methodology during the research process and a coherent framework to the analysis of a subject which, due to its nature and to the scarcity of relevant studies, has unclear boundaries and a variety of possible interdisciplinary connections. -
Résonance Et Perception Des Harmoniques Naturelles
UNIVERSITE PARIS VIII – VINCENNES A SAINT-DENIS UFR « Arts, Philosophie, Esthétique » Département de Musique RESONANCE ET PERCEPTION DES HARMONIQUES ATURELLES Julien GILI Mémoire de maîtrise réalisé sous la direction de M. Philippe MICHEL Année universitaire 2004 – 2005 1 Avant-propos L’élan qui a motivé ce travail pourrait se résumer à une curiosité permanente qui s’est amplifiée au fur et à mesure que je creusais le sujet des vibrations sonores et de l’acoustique naturelle. L’étude des musiques du monde et des instruments peu communs m’a fait prendre conscience que dans les cultures les plus éloignées, aussi bien historiquement que géographiquement, on retrouve des points communs surprenants, des coïncidences qui, au fond ne sont sans doute pas le fruit du hasard. Parmi ces principes universels, je me suis particulièrement penché sur le phénomène de la résonance et celui de la série des harmoniques naturelles. Je tenterai de les rapprocher dans ce mémoire en mettant en évidence leurs effets et leurs utilisations. Il n’y a pas de réel commencement à cette curiosité, mais plutôt une série de découvertes plus ou moins importantes qui, par étapes, m’ont encouragé à en savoir toujours plus. La première phase significative fut franchie grâce au travail de l’ethnomusicologue Trân Quang Hai, qui m’a d’ailleurs accordé un précieux entretien. Dans un documentaire vidéo réalisé par Hugo Zemp, il présente ses recherches sur le chant diphonique. Ce chant, qui fait entendre deux sons simultanément, m’a particulièrement intéressé et l’approche pédagogique de T.Q.Hai m’a encouragé à le développer sur ma propre voix. -

Mittwoch, 10 file://localhost/Users/leifur/Desktop/1987_066Hugh%20Davies.html Neue Instrumente und Klangskulpturen: Ein Überblick Hugh Davies Geschichte und Wegbereiter In der Entwicklung von neuen Instrumenten und Klangskulpturen im 20. Jahrhundert lassen sich einige einander überschneidende Trends unterscheiden. Zunächst im Zusammenhang mit der Technologie: einerseits HIGH TECH, wo die jeweils letzten Entwicklungen bei neuen Materialien und elektrischen Geräten im Vordergrund stehen – vom ersten elektronischen Oszillator bis zum Computer von heute – und andererseits LOW TECH – von der Verwendung mechanischer Maschinerie nach dem Prinzip des Uhrwerks bis zu den Errungenschaften jüngeren Datums in der Elektrizität wie dem Elektromotor (erstmals entwickelt vor 150 Jahren) und dem elektrischen Verstärker (erstmals eingesetzt vor 100 Jahren). Ein weiterer Aspekt ist die Verwendung verschiedener Stimmungen. Hier geht es darum, ob einzelne Klänge nach den Tönen einer gleich temperierten Zwölftonskala (chromatisch) oder zu einer Skala, in der mehr (oder manchmal weniger) als zwölf Teilungen der Oktave vorkommen, d.h. in einer gleichen oder – wie bei der reinen Stimmung – einem ungleich temperierten System, gestimmt werden. Es kann aber auch ein bestimmter Grad an Zufall herrschen, wobei die Töne nicht auf ausschließlich ein System gestimmt sind. Letzteres wird oft mit einem Phänomen in Verbindung gebracht, das sich im Laufe dieses Jahrhunderts immer mehr durchsetzte, nämlich der häufigeren Verwendung von Geräuschen, die man früher als Lärm und daher als ungeeignet für musikalische Zwecke betrachtete. Weiters muß auch das Umfeld der einzelnen Instrumentenerfinder betrachtet werden sowie der ursprüngliche Verwendungszweck der Instrumente. Man kann dabei folgende unterscheiden: einerseits Personen mit einer musikalischen oder sonstigen künstlerischen Ausbildung und andererseits Instrumente und Klangskulpturen (die keineswegs immer mit diesem Hintergrund verbunden sein müssen), die entweder für Konzerte oder für Ausstellungen, Installationen und Environments bestimmt sind. -

Draft Authorized Vocabulary for Medium of Performance Statements
MEDIUM OF PERFORMANCE TERMS FOR LIBRARY OF CONGRESS MEDIUM OF PERFORMANCE THESAURUS FOR MUSIC DRAFT AUTHORIZED VOCABULARY FOR MEDIUM OF PERFORMANCE STATEMENTS IN BIBLIOGRAPHIC RECORDS AS AGREED ON BY THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS AND THE MUSIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION February 2013 Introduction The Library of Congress, in cooperation with the Music Library Association, is developing a new thesaurus of terms representing vocabulary for the medium of performance of musical works, Library of Congress Medium of Performance Thesaurus for Music (LCMPT). The vocabulary is intended to be used, at least initially, for two bibliographic purposes: 1) to retrieve music by its medium of performance in library catalogs, as is now done by the controlled vocabulary, Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH); 2) to record the element “medium of performance” of musical works according to the cataloging standard, RDA: Resource Description and Access (RDA). The table that follows, which contains approximately 850 terms, updates the previously posted table of terms the collaborators recommend for the new medium of performance thesaurus. The table is a working document, subject to change. Background Medium of performance is now recognized as a separate and distinct bibliographic facet that should have its own vocabulary and vocabulary structure. Searches by medium should enable users to retrieve music by a particular instrument or instrumental group, voice or vocal group, or other medium of performance term or terms the searcher may specify. As presently incorporated into LCSH, medium of performance terms may occur in headings in two ways: either along with a term for genre, form, type, or style of music (as in Sonatas (Violin and piano)), or in headings that have only one or more medium terms in them (as in Violin and piano music). -
