  • Stimmung: Tuning, Timbre, Form and Performance

    Stimmung: Tuning, Timbre, Form and Performance

    Stimmung: Tuning, Timbre, Form and Performance Kevin Swenson October 2018 1 Stimmung Karlheinz Stockhausen is among the most influential and controversial composers of the 20th century. Most known for his highly serialized works of the 1950’s such as Gruppen and Kontra-punkte as well as his experimentation with some of the first electronic music compositions, it is easy to pigeonhole Stockhausen as a composer who avoids any semblance of traditional harmonic structures in his music. However, in the 1960’s Stockhausen made some notable explorations in music which used motivic structures as well as more consonant harmonies than in much of his earlier works. A true gem among his pieces of this era is Stimmung (1968) a piece for six vocalists which consists of only one chord. Though Stimmung may seem simple on the surface, there are many subtleties lurking underneath that add up to a powerfully evocative and spiritual composition. Background The late 1960’s are an infamous time, marked by the violence and protest of the Vietnam war and the neo-spiritualism of the psychedelic movement. Stockhausen’s Stimmung is all too fitting for the era; a synthesis of east and west via its construction based on the B-flat harmonic series, the use of the overtone singing technique and it’s calling of the “magic names” of deities drawn from a plethora of world religions both ancient and modern. In many ways the piece appears to be a product of its time, but is also foreshadowing the spiritual implications of Stockhausen’s latest and strangest works, most notably the Licht opera cycle.

[!] TIM SOUSTER 17 Intermodulation: A Short History ON THE EVENING of Saturday July 26, 1969, in a plastic geodesic dome on Tower Hill, a concert was given by four players who were subsequently to become the initial members of the live-electronics group Intermodulation: Andrew Powell (guitars, keyboards), Roger Smalley (keyboards, electronics), Tim Souster (viola, keyboards, electronics) and Robin Thompson (soprano sax, bassoon, keyboards and guitar). ( Andrew Powell was succeeded in 1970 by Peter Britton (percussion, electronics, key boards).) The concert was characterised by the rough and ready technology typical of electronic ventures at that time. Borrowed amplifiers failed to assert themselves. The dial of an ex-army sine-tone oscillator was nimbly controlled by Robin Thompson with his foot. A Hugh Davies-built ring-modulator nestled in its cardboard box on the floor. The 'visuals' (in the original version of my Triple Music I, written specially for this concert) consisted of coloured slides of food, footballers and political events, most of which failed to appear or did so upside-down. The whole occasion was dominated by a PA system lent and personally installed by Pete Townshend of The Who, who could be glimpsed lowering behind the loudspeaker columns throughout the show. Those lucky enough to be connected to this (for those days) mighty array of WEM equipment were able to play very loud indeed: I can remember little else. TECHNICAL PRE-CONDITIONS In 1968 Roger Smalley became composer-in-residence at King's College, Cambridge; I followed suit in 1969.

    The Voice and the Vehicle: Integrating Live Broadcast Radio Into Automated Live Electronic Works

    The voice and the vehicle Integrating live broadcast radio into automated live electronic works Adam Jansch University of Huddersfield United Kingdom [email protected] http://www.adamjansch.co.uk In: Motje Wolf & Andrew Hill (Eds.) Proceedings of Sound, Sight, Space and Play 2010 Postgraduate Symposium for the Creative Sonic Arts De Montfort University Leicester, United Kingdom, 2-4 June 2010 http://www.mti.dmu.ac.uk/events-conferences/sssp2010/ Abstract The use of live broadcast radio as material in music composition was made promi- nent by John Cage in Imaginary Landscape No. 4 (1951). As a sonic medium which is almost omnipresent, carrying up-to-the-minute information and accessible through widely available demodulation technology, radio has intrinsic features that make its integration into musical works aesthetically and conceptually desirable. As part of my wider research aims – the investigation of distributable open outcome music – I have approached live broadcast radio as a material to integrate into a suite of automated live electronic works. Pieces in this suite include multi-channel electro- acoustic and video works, and a prototype for a distributable hardware-based open outcome pop song. Focussing on radio as voice and as a vehicle the pieces explore a number of creative uses for such material, including environment generation, listen- ing mode modulation and time/locality disruption. The deployment of stations across radio networks emphasising a listener's geographical location, and the radio stream as a perpetually occurring current event will also be discussed, as will technical de- tails and issues regarding the implementations of radio employed in the pieces.
