  • BEAUTIFUL NOISE Directions in Electronic Music
    BEAUTIFUL NOISE Directions in Electronic Music www.ele-mental.org/beautifulnoise/ A WORK IN PROGRESS (3rd rev., Oct 2003) Comments to [email protected] 1 A Few Antecedents The Age of Inventions The 1800s produce a whole series of inventions that set the stage for the creation of electronic music, including the telegraph (1839), the telephone (1876), the phonograph (1877), and many others. Many of the early electronic instruments come about by accident: Elisha Gray’s ‘musical telegraph’ (1876) is an extension of his research into telephone technology; William Du Bois Duddell’s ‘singing arc’ (1899) is an accidental discovery made from the sounds of electric street lights. “The musical telegraph” Elisha Gray’s interesting instrument, 1876 The Telharmonium Thaddeus Cahill's telharmonium (aka the dynamophone) is the most important of the early electronic instruments. Its first public performance is given in Massachusetts in 1906. It is later moved to NYC in the hopes of providing soothing electronic music to area homes, restaurants, and theatres. However, the enormous size, cost, and weight of the instrument (it weighed 200 tons and occupied an entire warehouse), not to mention its interference of local phone service, ensure the telharmonium’s swift demise. Telharmonic Hall No recordings of the instrument survive, but some of Cahill’s 200-ton experiment in canned music, ca. 1910 its principles are later incorporated into the Hammond organ. More importantly, Cahill’s idea of ‘canned music,’ later taken up by Muzak in the 1960s and more recent cable-style systems, is now an inescapable feature of the contemporary landscape.

  • American Functional Music and Environmental Imaginaries
    Anthropogenic Moods: American Functional Music and Environmental Imaginaries A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Joshua J. Ottum April 2016 © 2016 Joshua J. Ottum. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Anthropogenic Moods: American Functional Music and Environmental Imaginaries by JOSHUA J. OTTUM has been approved for Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by Marina Peterson Associate Professor of Performance Studies Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT OTTUM, JOSHUA J., Ph.D., April 2016, Interdisciplinary Arts Anthropogenic Moods: American Functional Music and Environmental Imaginaries Director of Dissertation: Marina Peterson This dissertation investigates how functional music, utilitarian commercial music composed to create moods, shapes environmental imaginaries in late twentieth- and early twenty-first century America. In particular, the study considers how functional music operates in specific media contexts to facilitate sonic identifications with the natural world that imbricate nature with modalities of contemporary capitalism. As human- driven changes to the planet have ushered in the Anthropocene, an investigation of the relationships between musical sound, moods, and environments will draw out the feelings and imaginaries of the era. In doing so, this study amplifies these attenuated sounds, aiming to open the conversation to new ways of listening in an age of increasing environmental fragility. 4 DEDICATION Dedicated to Vanessa and Baby Ottum 5 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is the product of explicit and implicit guidance from family, friends, and faculty. I couldn’t have asked for a better advisor in Dr.

  • Windham Hill Records
    WHO'S WHO AT WINDHAM HILL RECORDS Head Office Promotion: 247 High Sfreet 2717 Western Avenue Pa loAlfo,Ca 94301 Seattle, Wa 98117 4153290647 2062230517 WINDHAM HILL PRODUCTIONS INC. Windham Hill Records, which recently concluded an unorthodox distribution agreement with A&M Records, has been an unorthodox story from its inception some seven years ago. Its' founder and one of its' principal artists," William Ackerman, worked for many years as a carpenter and wood worker while enjoying his guitar playing as a hobby. During those years he commissioned the construction of his own guitar which his friends constantly wanted to hear him play. This resulted in his first recording effort with an album called "The Search For The Turtle's Navel". A friend at a local record label sent copies to a few radio stations and Windham Hill Records was born. More successful albums followed required Will to devote himself full-time to the label two years later. Today the company, which is based in Palo Alto, has a catalogue of some two dozen albums and is generating wholesale figures well over $4,000,000. As recently as April of this year, Windham Hill had no less than six albums in the Billboard Top 50 Jazz charts and five in the Cashbox Top 30, including titles by the now world renowned Windham Hill pianist, George Winston. Under its distribution agreement (effective as of August 1, 1983) with A&M Records, Windham Hill and its associated labels, Lost Lake Arts and Hip Pocket Records, will maintain a good deal of autonomy as far as quality control, pressing, packaging and non-traditional marketing.
