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. -

Conférence-concert “INSTRUMENTS RARES ET ORIGINAUX DANS LES MUSIQUES D’AUJOURD’HUI” Conférence de Pascal Bussy & Jérôme Rousseaux Concert de Orchestra Of Spheres Dans beaucoup de sphères musicales, du rock à la musique électronique en passant par le jazz et les musiques dites "nouvelles", certains artistes ont toujours pratiqué des instruments peu connus, et en ont même parfois fabriqués eux-mêmes. Pendant cette conférence, nous analyserons ces démarches qui correspondent toujours à une quête sonore particulière, et à un désir de se singulariser basé sur la curiosité. Nous parlerons de ces aventuriers du son, de ces bricoleurs de génie, et évoquerons plusieurs des musiques qu’ils produisent avec leurs instruments "bizarres", que Afin de compléter la lecture de ce ceux-ci soient exhumés de l’oubli, évadés de continents lointains, ou dossier, n’hésitez pas à consulter encore inventés de toutes pièces. les dossiers d’accompagnement des précédentes conférences- Si certaines d’entre elles sont inclassables, expérimentales ou évoluent concerts ainsi que les "Bases de dans des marges, en rimant quelquefois avec mystère et ésotérisme, données" consacrées aux éditions d’autres s’inscrivent dans des logiques bien définies, "rock", "pop" ou 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, autres, et utilisent alors ces instruments "différents" à des degrés divers, 2010 et 2011 des Trans, tous en qui va de la simple enluminure à la véritable marque de fabrique.

Squeakeys”: a Friction Idiophone, for Physical Interaction with Mobile Devices
“SQUEAKeys”: a friction idiophone, for physical interaction with mobile devices Steve Mann, Ryan Janzen, Valmiki Rampersad, Jason Huang, Lei Jimmy Ba University of Toronto http://eyetap.org Abstract—We present “SqueaKEYS”, a musical instrument application to enhance touch screens on mobile devices. Sound is generated acoustically by the sound of one or more fingers rubbing on the glass surface of a liquid crystal display screen, or the like. In this sense, the instrument is not an electronic in- strument, but, rather, a friction idiophone (e.g. in the Hornbostel Sachs musical instrument classification sense). Location sensing on the touch screen is used to frequency-shift the sound onto a musical scale depending on where the screen is rubbed, struck, or touched. In other embodiments the location of the touch is determined with sound localization by way of geophones bonded to a glass substrate, eliminating the need for a touch screen (e.g. to implement the instrument on any glass surface equipped with appropriate listening devices).

This can be used as, for example, a musical instrument in which sound originates idiophonically. -

Swordfishtrombones Revisited
Swordfishtrombones Revisited Start time: 8pm Approximate running time one hour 30 minutes, no interval Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change David Sheppard talks to David Coulter about discovering a spirit of adventure through Swordfishtrombones. At the dawn of the 1980s, Tom Waits was in danger of sliding into terminal self-parody. While his songs were covered by everyone form The Eagles to Bruce Springsteen, Waits, who had just turned 30, seemed stuck in an artistic rut, his albums delivering a cocktail of retro styles: afterhours burlesques, Beat poet reveries, jazzy stomps and string-laden ballads, all of them rendered in the grizzled cartoon baritone of a heavy-smoking soak at least twice his age. Despite 1980’s Heart Attack & Vine, the sixth and last of his albums for Elektra/Asylum, winning critical plaudits, Waits was growing jaded, holed up in West Hollywood’s sybaritic Tropicana Hotel, still peopling his songs with lonely, hard-boiled characters apparently on loan from desolate Edward Hopper paintings or the novels of Dashiell Hammett. While elsewhere punk’s youthful new broom was gleefully sweeping away the old, Waits remained a goateed, trilby-hatted anachronism, a wilful throwback to a sentimentalised, pre-rock’n’roll America. ‘I used to think I was making movies for the ears… I was overly maudlin and romantic’, he later admitted. Happily, artistic deliverance would soon arrive courtesy of another kind of ‘movie for the ears’ – namely a commission from Francis Ford Coppola to write a ‘lounge operetta’ score for the director’s ambitious cine-musical, One From the Heart.
