Randall Princeton University Christian Wolff Harvard University All events are being held as part of the Bicentennial Celebration of Dartmouth College The exhibition of scores by members of the American Society of University Composers in the Upper Jewett Corridor, Hopkins Center, was arranged by John Scotford. THE COMPETITION The 3rd International Electronic Music Competition was inaugurated in 1968 and at the time was the only competition for composers devoted to electronic music. The Dartmouth Arts Council Prize of five hundred dollars for an outstanding composition of electronic music was awarded in 1968 to Olly W. Wilson of Oberlin College. The other finalists were Pril Smiley (U.S.A.}, Josef Malovec (Czechoslovakia}, Eugeniusz Rudnik (Poland), William Hellermann (U.S.A.}, and Bohdan Mazurek (Poland). A recording devoted to the winning works was released by Vox Productions, Inc. (TURNABOUT - TV 34301 ). Last year two composers, Peter Glushanok and Peter Klausmeyer, tied for the Dartmouth Arts Council Prize. The other finalists were Walter Kimmel and Raymond Moore. A recording of their works will be released this year. The following composers have served as judges for the two previous competitions: Milton Babbitt, Lars-Gunnar Bodin, Charles Dodge, Kenneth Gaburo, Pril Smiley, Vladimir Ussachevsky and George B. Wilson. The Dartmouth Electronic Music Studio was established by the Department of Music in 1967 and designed by Jon Appleton (Dartmouth College) and James Seawright (Technical Supervisor, Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center). Run as a pilot studio for the first year, it attracted more students than could be accommodated. In January, 1969 the studio was considerably enlarged through a gift by Gerald M. Bregman, '54. The enlarged studio was designed by Jon Appleton and William Judd, a graduate of Dartmouth College and the Thayer School of Engineering, and is basically a sophisticated tape studio with synthesizing capability. It houses a large tape library consisting of entries in the several electronic music competitions, gifts and exchanges and works composed at Dartmouth. Formal instruction is offered to students through the Department of Music.

  • Kalvos & Damian: the Car Guys of New Music
    “Kalvos & Damian: The Car Guys of New Music” A Presentation to the Colloquium at Wesleyan University, March 29, 2018 Dennis Báthory-Kitsz From 1995 to 2008, two composers going by the pseudonyms “Kalvos” and “Damian” hosted an eponymous radio show. It became the first new music show online in the U.S., where they interviewed more than 350 composers in the studio and on road trips, set up 48 on-air concerts including a full opera with a cast of 40, arranged the first trans- Atlantic internet/radio simulcast between Vermont and the Netherlands, put on a major new music festival with 37 concerts in one weekend, held a two-day international composer combat, and won international recognition including the prestigious ASCAP/Deems Taylor Award—and they did it entirely on small contributions and by a wacky, seat-of-their-pants imagination. And in 2010, they disappeared after 560 programs. Who were they? Why did they do it? What happened to them? Here is the story of “Kalvos & Damian”—the “Car Guys” of new music. Kalvos & Damian’s New Music Bazaar BACKGROUND—BECAUSE THINGS ARE SO COMPLICATED Background on us: David Gunn and I are both lifelong composers. We always took our work seriously, but not our attitudes toward new art and music and its pretensions. I was Project Director for an arts group in Trenton, New Jersey, that gave concerts and festivals of unusual material, from 1973-1978. The largest was the Delaware Valley Festival of the Avant-Garde, modeled after Charlotte Moorman’s annual New York Avant-Garde Festival, where I had played every year.

  • Experiments in Sound and Electronic Music in Koenig Books Isbn 978-3-86560-706-5 Early 20Th Century Russia · Andrey Smirnov
    SOUND IN Z Russia, 1917 — a time of complex political upheaval that resulted in the demise of the Russian monarchy and seemingly offered great prospects for a new dawn of art and science. Inspired by revolutionary ideas, artists and enthusiasts developed innumerable musical and audio inventions, instruments and ideas often long ahead of their time – a culture that was to be SOUND IN Z cut off in its prime as it collided with the totalitarian state of the 1930s. Smirnov’s account of the period offers an engaging introduction to some of the key figures and their work, including Arseny Avraamov’s open-air performance of 1922 featuring the Caspian flotilla, artillery guns, hydroplanes and all the town’s factory sirens; Solomon Nikritin’s Projection Theatre; Alexei Gastev, the polymath who coined the term ‘bio-mechanics’; pioneering film maker Dziga Vertov, director of the Laboratory of Hearing and the Symphony of Noises; and Vladimir Popov, ANDREY SMIRNO the pioneer of Noise and inventor of Sound Machines. Shedding new light on better-known figures such as Leon Theremin (inventor of the world’s first electronic musical instrument, the Theremin), the publication also investigates the work of a number of pioneers of electronic sound tracks using ‘graphical sound’ techniques, such as Mikhail Tsekhanovsky, Nikolai Voinov, Evgeny Sholpo and Boris Yankovsky. From V eavesdropping on pianists to the 23-string electric guitar, microtonal music to the story of the man imprisoned for pentatonic research, Noise Orchestras to Machine Worshippers, Sound in Z documents an extraordinary and largely forgotten chapter in the history of music and audio technology.

Additionally, I am thankful for the contributions of the many teachers who have contributed to my musical and scholarly growth over the past years: Jon Appleton, Charles Dodge, Paul Koonce, Chris Mercer, Peter Otto, Larry Polansky, Miller Puckette, and Paul Richards. Special thanks go to Steven Takasugi for his willingness to help me understand early on what being a composer is all about; I would have likely followed a very different career path were it not for his mentorship a decade ago. Additional thanks to Silvio dos Santos and Margaret Butler for their assistance as my work branched into broader musicological concerns, and to my friends in Gainesville for helping me to remain sane over the past few years.

  • LINER NOTES  Recorded Anthology of American Music, Inc
    In 1950, the Columbia University Music Department requisitioned a tape recorder to use in teaching and for recording concerts. In 1951, the first tape recorder arrived, an Ampex 400, and Vladimir Ussachevsky, then a junior faculty member, was assigned a job that no one else wanted: the care of the tape recorder. This job was to have important consequences for Ussachevsky and the medium he developed. Electronic music was born. Over the next ten years, Ussachevsky and his collaborators established the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, which Ussachevsky directed for twenty years. It was the first large electronic music center in the United States, thanks to the path-breaking support of the Rockefeller Foundation and encouragement from two of the country’s leading universities. The Center became one of the best-known and most prolific sources of electronic music in the world. All of the music on this historic reissue is the result of the pioneering work of the Center and its composers. Vladimir Ussachevsky, (died 1990) who was of Russian descent, was born in 1911 in Manchuria, Inner Mongolia. He was a hereditary Mongolian prince and, as a young person, became a gifted pianist in the Romantic repertoire. After the Russian Revolution, his father was arrested and later executed in a Siberian prison for his outspoken criticism of the new Russian government. Vladimir fled from Mongolia to join the rest of his family in California. There, he graduated in music from Pomona College where he studied harmony, counterpoint, music history, and composition. After receiving his B.A. in 1935, Ussachevsky went on to get an M.M.

  • Music at Folkways Records by Jon Appleton
    Winter/Spring 2017 “Experimental” Music at Folkways Records by Jon Appleton The late Peter D. Goldsmith, in his magnificent biography of Moses Asch, Making People’s Music: Moe Asch and Folkways Records, states, “His interests were not identified with those whose music he made available nor with the audience for his records, but with the process of making the sounds of other people comprehensible and significant.” Moses Asch and I first met when I worked as a composer and professor of music at Dartmouth College. I was forty-two at the time and he was seventy-seven—my current age today. During the summer of 1982, I spent three days a week at Folkways Records helping him to produce and release most of his catalog of electronic music. This was at his office at 165 W. 46th Street in New York City. I also attempted to help him reach a wider audience for the entire catalog of his long-playing records. This last effort failed because Moe, although an early pioneer of radio, audio recording, and phonograph record production, was fairly resistant to new technologies. The audio quality of cassettes was judged inferior and this was the year that the very first compact disc was released in Japan. Capturing the sounds of the world, including experimental music, was the objective of the 2,200 albums released by Folkways. The music itself came from as many cultures as recordings came to him. He didn't hesitate to released music that most other listeners did not consider music at all. For example, in 1958, Asch released an album entitled Sounds of New Music that included compositions by Henry Cowell and John Cage.
