An Investigation of Nine Acousmatic Compositions
A PORTFOLIO OF ACOUSMATIC COMPOSITIONS BY DAVID HINDMARCH A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Music School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham December 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This portfolio charts my development as a composer during a period of three years. The works it contains are all acousmatic; they investigate sonic material through articulation and gesture, and place emphasis on spatial movement through both stereophony and multi-channel environments. The portfolio is written as a personal journey, with minimal reference to academic thinking, exploring the development of my techniques when composing acousmatic music. At the root of my compositional work is the examination and analysis of recorded sounds; these are extrapolated from musical phrases and gestural movement, which form the basis of my musical language. The nine pieces of the portfolio thus explore, emphasise and develop the distinct properties of the recorded source sounds, deriving from them articulated phrasing and gesture which are developed to give sound objects the ability to move in a stereo or multi-channel space with expressive force and sonic clarity. -
A Comprehensive History of Techno and Finding God in the Music with Ellen Allien
Editorial A Comprehensive History of Techno and Finding God in the Music With Ellen Allien Kian McHugh | August 3, 2020 When my Zoom call with Ellen Allien connects, at last, I feel weeks of anticipation turn to uncontrollable excitement. My fingers, sweaty from nerves, and a poorly brewed Starbucks coffee, type out the instructions on how to get her audio configured. Ellen is lounging in her Ibiza flat where she has painted all of the walls completely black so that when the sun shines through her window, the room glows yellow. The first fully formed thought I could pencil down was that her posture seemed to denote a sincere attention to detail and confidence in comfort that most others lack. For the first 2 minutes of the call, we both instinctively laugh, muted, and unaware that our discussion of Techno would soon gravitate toward, and then find unexpected momentum in… a deep consideration of Techno, God, and religion. “Rap is where you rst heard it… If rap is more an American phenomenon, techno is where it all comes together in Europe as producers and musicians engage in a dialogue of dazzling speed.” – Jon Savage (English writer, broadcaster and music journalist). In Hanif Abdurraqib’s 2019 book, Go Ahead in the Rain: Notes to A Tribe Called Quest, he so beautifully praises “the low end” of a track: “The feeling of something familiar that sits so deep in your chest that you have to hum it out … where the bass and the kick drums exist.” His point rings true across all music that is heavily percussion driven. -

Scambi Fushi Tarazu: a Musical Representation of a Drosophila Gene Expression Pattern
Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 4 January 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202001.0026.v1 Scambi fushi tarazu: A Musical Representation of a Drosophila Gene Expression Pattern Derek Gatherer Division of Biomedical & Life Sciences Lancaster University Lancaster LA1 4YW, UK [email protected] Abstract: The term Bio-Art has entered common usage to describe the interaction between the arts and the biological sciences. Although Bio-Art implies that Bio-Music would be one of its obvious sub- disciplines, the latter term has been much less frequently used. Nevertheless, there has been no shortage of projects that have brought together music and the biological sciences. Most of these projects have allowed the biological data to dictate to a large extent the sound produced, for instance the translation of genome or protein sequences into musical phrases, and therefore may be regarded as process compositions. Here I describe a Bio-Music process composition that derives its biological input from a visual representation of the expression pattern of the gene fushi tarazu in the Drosophila embryo. An equivalent pattern is constructed from the Scambi portfolio of short electronic music fragments created by Henri Pousseur in the 1950s. This general form of the resulting electronic composition follows that of the fushi tarazu pattern, while satisfying the rules of the Scambi compositional framework devised by Pousseur. The range and flexibility of Scambi make it ideally suited to other Bio-Music projects wherever there is a requirement, or desire, to build larger sonic structures from small units.

New Order and the Last Shadow Puppets to Play Flow Festival
Press release, free for publication 2.2. 10:00 EET New Order and The Last Shadow Puppets to play Flow Festival Other additions to next summer’s lineup include Holly Herndon, Shackleton presents: Powerplant, John Talabot, Roman Flügel, The Black Madonna, Phuture (DJ Pierre & DJ Spank) and Wooden Wisdom & DJ Fitz. Legendary synthpop band New Order has been confirmed as a performer at Flow Festival, taking place at Suvilahti in Helsinki, August 12-14. The band’s success story reaches back to the 1980s and its songs have been a staple at clubs and indie discos the world over for past 30+ years. Last fall the band released a comeback album, Music Complete, to a rapturous reception from both fans and critics. Several music medias listed the album as one of the year’s most important releases and Mojo Magazine named New Order their band of the year for 2015. The Last Shadow Puppets is a project by Alex Turner, known for his work as the front man and songwriter for Arctic Monkeys, and Miles Kane, a familiar face as a member of The Rascals and as a solo performer. They will make their live debut in Finland at this summer’s Flow. Their eagerly awaited new album Everything You’ve Come To Expect is slated for release on April 1. Flow will also host Holly Herndon, an American artist of growing significance in the experimental electronic music scene and Berlin-based producer Shackleton with his new project Powerplant. People who are into the international clubbing scene will be treated to performances by John Talabot, a brilliant producer who walks the tightrope between the underground and larger arenas with enviable panache, one of Germany’s premier electronic music DJs Roman Flügel, a unique persona as both DJ and producer The Black Madonna as well as DJ Pierre and DJ Spank from the legendary Chicago-based crew Phuture, whose Acid Tracks is widely considered to be the first acid house release. -
