  • Konkrete Pop-Musik. Zum Einfluss Stockhausens Und Schaeffers Auf Björk, Matthew Herbert Und Matmos
    Ausdruck aus: Samples. Notizen, Projekte und Kurzbeiträge zur Popularmusikforschung. 2. 2003. (www.aspm-online.de) RALF VON APPEN Konkrete Pop-Musik. Zum Einfluss Stockhausens und Schaeffers auf Björk, Matthew Herbert und Matmos Wer sich mit der isländischen Musikerin Björk befasst, stößt bei der Lektüre von Interviews oder sonstiger Berichterstattung in der Musikpresse schnell auch auf den Na- men Karlheinz Stockhausen, den Björk häufig als Gleichgesinnten und wichtigen Einfluss beschreibt.1 Eine solche Bezugnahme auf den deutschen Avantgarde-Komponisten ist in der Popwelt keineswegs selten. Größen wie John Lennon und Paul McCartney, Pete Townshend, Kraftwerk, Holger Czukay von Can, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Aphex Twin oder Miles Davis und Charles Mingus erklären, von Stockhausen inspiriert worden zu sein.2 Ob und wie sich ein solcher Einfluss tatsächlich nachvollziehen lässt, soll im Fol- genden am Beispiel Björks untersucht werden. Daran anknüpfend lohnt auch der Blick auf die Musiker Matthew Herbert sowie das Duo Matmos, Vertreter des am Laptop produzierten Clicks’n’Cuts-Techno aus San Francisco, die alle an der Entstehung von Björks aktuellem Studioalbum Vespertine (One Little Indian, 2001) beteiligt waren. Auch in ihrer Musik ist die Kenntnis der musikalischen Avantgarde des 20. Jahrhunderts, insbesondere der musique concrète Pierre Schaeffers, zu erkennen. Das Interesse des Beitrags richtet sich auf die Frage, wo und mit welcher Motivation sich Popmusiker auf die klassisch gewordene Avantgarde beziehen und wie esoterische Techniken der Mo- derne3 in einer postmodernen, auf die Überschreitung der Grenzen von „high” und „low art” bedachten Popmusik fortgeführt und verwandelt werden. Durch die historischen Bezüge lassen sich neue Verständnisebenen für die beschriebene Musik aufdecken.

  • 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.

  • The Sampler As Compositional Tool and Recording Dislocation
    Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music doi:10.5429/2079-3871(2010)v1i2.3en Appropriation, Additive Approaches and Accidents: The Sampler as Compositional Tool and Recording Dislocation Paul Harkins Edinburgh Napier University University of Edinburgh [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Brian Eno describes the recording studio as a compositional tool that has enabled composers to enjoy a more direct relationship with sound. This article will explore the use of the digital sampler as one of the studio tools that forms part of this creative process and focuses on interviews with a group of Edinburgh musicians called Found who successfully combine the writing of pop songs with the sampling of found sounds. The core song-writing partnership share an art school background and I was keen to discover if they use the sampler and other tools to sculpt sound in a similar way to how they draw or paint. Much of the academic literature on digital sampling within popular music studies has been skewed towards its disruptive consequences for copyright law and, while legal and moral questions are still relevant, I am keen to concentrate on the processes of music making and the aesthetic choices made by composers and producers in the studio. Recent ethnographic work by Joseph Schloss has centred on these questions in relation to hip-hop and it is important to examine and understand how the sampler continues to be used by musicians and producers in a variety of genres. Keywords: art; digital sampling; hip-hop; pop; recording studio; technology.

  • Matthew Herbert – One One
    Matthew Herbert – One One Motor.de - Geli Megyesi Vö: 23.04.2010 Multitalent Matthew Herbert veröffentlicht den ersten Teil der "One"-Trilogie und beweist wieder einmal seine Experimentierfreudigkeit. Matthew Herbert gehört zu den Menschen, denen mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit nie die Ideen ausgehen werden – das kann man aufgrund seiner unglaublich vielen Pseudonyme und noch mehr Veröffentlichungen ohne Zweifel behaupten. Der Avantgarde-Electroniker aus dem Vereinigten Königreich ist unter sechs verschiedenen Namen unterwegs: Herbert, Doctor Rockit, Radio Boy, Mr. Vertigo, Transformer und Wishmountain. Dabei ist sein Sound besonders durch Musique Concrète beeinflusst. Das heißt, es werden Klänge beispielsweise aus der Natur und Technik mit einem Mikrofon aufgenommen und anschließend durch Montage, Tapeloops und anderen technischen Möglichkeiten elektronisch verfremdet. So kam es, dass der 37-Jährige 1995 als Wishmountain auftrat und als Instrument eine Tüte Chips oder nur einen Pfeffertopf benutzte. Mit dem 1998er Album "Around The House" mischte er unter dem Namen Herbert Alltagsdinge aus der Küche mit Dance Beats. Außerdem remixte er Tracks für Künstler wie Moloko, Alter Ego, R.E.M. und Björk. Zuzuordnen ist Herbert eigentlich dem Micro bzw. Deep House. Doch vielseitig wie er ist, kann man ihn nicht nur auf ein Genre reduzieren. So erschien 2003 mit "Goodtime Swingtime" ein Album, dass sich von seiner bisherigen Arbeit absolut unterschied. Ein weiteres Swing-Album folgte 2006 mit dem Titel "There's Me and There's You". Mit einer Big Band, bestehend aus 16 Musiker aus der britischen Jazz-Szene und seiner Lebensgefährtin, der amerikanischen Jazz- Sängerin Dani Siciliano, wie auch Jamie Lidell, ging er auf Tour und verzauberte das Publikum mit seiner speziellen Performance.

  • Matthew Herbert's Accidental Records To
    MATTHEW HERBERT’S ACCIDENTAL RECORDS TO LAUNCH ART AND THEATRE FOCUSED IMPRINT ACCIDENTAL EDITIONS WITH 12” VINYL RELEASE FROM MARIA FUSCO First releases planned with National Theatre Wales, Manchester International Festival, Royal Court Theatre, Guggenheim New York and Fashion Space Gallery Matthew Herbert's Accidental Records today announces its new art and theatre focused imprint, Accidental Editions will launch on 5th June its first releases in partnership with National Theatre Wales, and Manchester International Festival. The new special imprint will work with some of the art world’s most prestigious institutions to produce limited edition physical releases of their projects. The first two releases from Accidental Editions will be Maria Fusco’s black comedy ECZEMA! In conjunction with National Theatre Wales which will tour nationally this year and Matthew Herbert’s The Machines Our Buildings Used to Hear developed in in partnership with Manchester International Festival. Currently there are further releases being planned in collaboration with the Royal Court Theatre, Guggenheim New York and Fashion Space Gallery. Matthew Herbert says “We want this new Accidental Editions imprint to be a platform to champion accomplished and progressive audio works commissioned in other areas of the arts, including theatres, galleries, museums and festivals and release them as independent musical works in their own right.” Maria Fusco says “Just like Rilke's 'primal sound' the incessant itching of eczema is perfectly embodied in red vinyl. The process of making the score for this vinyl, recording my own scratching, stretching it, playing it back through a mighty pipe organ's MIDI is activated through sunken grooves, cyclical returns and a soul chomping commitment to obsessive attention.
