    Piotr Mulawka Leksykon polskiej i światowej muzyki elektronicznej „Zrealizowano w ramach programu stypendialnego Ministra Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego-Kultura w sieci” Wydawca: Piotr Mulawka [email protected] © 2020 Wszelkie prawa zastrzeżone ISBN 978-83-943331-4-0 2 Przedmowa Muzyka elektroniczna narodziła się w latach 50-tych XX wieku, a do jej powstania przyczyniły się zdobycze techniki z końca XIX wieku m.in. telefon- pierwsze urządzenie służące do przesyłania dźwięków na odległość (Aleksander Graham Bell), fonograf- pierwsze urządzenie zapisujące dźwięk (Thomas Alv Edison 1877), gramofon (Emile Berliner 1887). Jak podają źródła, w 1948 roku francuski badacz, kompozytor, akustyk Pierre Schaeffer (1910-1995) nagrał za pomocą mikrofonu dźwięki naturalne m.in. (śpiew ptaków, hałas uliczny, rozmowy) i próbował je przekształcać. Tak powstała muzyka nazwana konkretną (fr. musigue concrete). W tym samym roku wyemitował w radiu „Koncert szumów”. Jego najważniejszą kompozycją okazał się utwór pt. „Symphonie pour un homme seul” z 1950 roku. W kolejnych latach muzykę konkretną łączono z muzyką tradycyjną. Oto pionierzy tego eksperymentu: John Cage i Yannis Xenakis. Muzyka konkretna pojawiła się w kompozycji Rogera Watersa. Utwór ten trafił na ścieżkę dźwiękową do filmu „The Body” (1970). Grupa Beaver and Krause wprowadziła muzykę konkretną do utworu „Walking Green Algae Blues” z albumu „In A Wild Sanctuary” (1970), a zespół Pink Floyd w „Animals” (1977). Pierwsze próby tworzenia muzyki elektronicznej miały miejsce w Darmstadt (w Niemczech) na Międzynarodowych Kursach Nowej Muzyki w 1950 roku. W 1951 roku powstało pierwsze studio muzyki elektronicznej przy Rozgłośni Radia Zachodnioniemieckiego w Kolonii (NWDR- Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk). Tu tworzyli: H. Eimert (Glockenspiel 1953), K. Stockhausen (Elektronische Studie I, II-1951-1954), H.

    Product Informations Product Informations A WORD ABOUT SYNTHESIS A - Substractive (or analog) synthesis (usually called “Analog” because it was the synthesis you could find on most of the first analog synthesizers). It starts out with a waveform rich in harmonics, such as a saw or square wave, and uses filters to make the finished sound. Here are the main substractive synthesis components : Oscillators: The device creating a soundwave is usually called an oscillator. The first synthesizers used analog electronic oscillator circuits to create waveforms. These units are called VCO's (Voltage Controlled Oscillator). More modern digital synthesizers use DCO's instead (Digitally Controlled Oscillators). A simple oscillator can create one or two basic waveforms - most often a sawtooth-wave - and a squarewave. Most synthesizers can also create a completely random waveform - a noise wave. These waveforms are very simple and completely artificial - they hardly ever appear in the nature. But you would be surprised to know how many different sounds can be achieved by only using and combining these waves. 2 / 17 Product Informations Filters: To be able to vary the basic waveforms to some extent, most synthesizers use filters. A filter is an electronic circuit, which works by smoothing out the "edges" of the original waveform. The Filter section of a synthesizer may be labled as VCF (Voltage Controlled Filter) or DCF (Digitally Controlled Filter). A Filter is used to remove frequencies from the waveform so as to alter the timbre. •Low-Pass Filters allows the lower frequencies to pass through unaffected and filters out (or blocks out) the higher frequencies.

Rogozinsky ICSC 2015 Saint Petersburg, Russia 2015 ICSC 2 – 4 October 2015 2 Proceedings of the Third International Csound Conference © Gleb G. Rogozinsky, 2016 © The Bonch-Bruevich St. Petersburg State University of Telecommunications, 2016 ISBN 978-5-89160-124-6 УДК 004.9 UDC 004.9 http://csound.github.io/icsc2015/ 2015 ICSC 3 FOREWORD Dear reader, You have before you the proceedings of a unique conference. Csound is a computer music language that has been continually evolving since its inception in 1986. During that time it has united people of all ages from around the world and from a wide range of disciplines: audio technology, media programming, contemporary, academic and avant-garde music, digital signal processing, telecommunications and electronic dance music. The Csound community presents a unique forum of users where programming and compositional issues are discussed in equal measure and with equal energy. A special aspect of this conference was that it took place in St. Petersburg, Russia: a city of great culture, world-renowned museums and beautiful white nights, and the city where Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov and Dmitry Shostokovich wrote their most famous pieces. Without doubt, St. Petersburg merited hosting the 3rd International Csound Conference. Russia has great heritage in the world of electronic music, being the country from which the theremin and the ANS synthesizer originated, but in more recent times Russia has seen less innovation, so I am particularly proud to be able to contribute to remedying this by hosting this conference.
