Drowned in Sound Kort.Indd 1 19-06-2008 21:28:17 Zoppo & Avec-A Together with My School Friend Cees I Started a Band Called Zoppo 30-05-2008, Primavera Sound Festival, Barcelona 3rd Bridge Helix From Experimental Punk to Ancient Chinese Music & Universal Physical Laws of Consonance This article is a written excerpt of my lecture I gave at the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona about my self built musical instruments. I explained what kind of instruments I make, why I make them and for which bands. I showed the audience my own copies and played a little on those instruments. Additionally I gave a deeper explanation about one particular instrument I have created, the Moodswinger. After finishing this instrument I rediscovered this instrument is not only a musical instrument, but also a educational measurement instrument which shows a universal system of consonant values based on simple physical laws. I discovered all musical scaling systems all over the world are derived from this basical system, inclusive the worst inharmonic deviated tuning system of all these variations, our Western 12-tone logaritmic equal tempered scale. - Yuri Landman The Beginning I bought my first guitar and bass guitar when I was 18. I always had a fascination for direct and simple punk rock structures instead of highly practised virtuose guitar playing used in symphonic rock and hard rock. In line of this estethical rule I refused to take traditional guitar lessons from a jazz or blues guitar teacher. I took notice of some chords and know where to put my fingers for a C7 or minor D-chord, but I have never practised long enough to play them well. I cannot even play Nirvana’s Polly properly for instance. I develloped my playing technique in a different direction. The band I appreciate the most for their color of sound is Sonic Youth, especcially their first recordings. Derived from the noise droning soundscapes from Glenn Branca, Sonic Youth developed a new way of experi- mental punk rock, mainly focused on untraditional playing techniques on customized guitars with drumsticks and screwdrivers put under the strings and heavily detuned string combinations. I knew Branca’s name from a short biography in the Dutch ‘86 Pop Encyclopedia, describing his guitar symphonies and mentioning his self created ‘mallet guitars’; table shaped string instruments with a large amount of strings with rods between the strings and hit with drumsticks. Unfortunaltely I have never seen close-ups of the instruments. For years I worked with prepared guitars placing objects under the strings and mainly play them on the other side of the string part where the pick up is not taking up the string attack directly. Like a tuning fork the op- posite string part resonates on the attacked string side. When placed on the middle of the string both sides have an equal tone and the resonation has it’s optimimum. When placed on another position however the tone is much more interesting, because the resonation is causing a strange clock-like sounding multiphonic tone. Drowned in sound kort.indd 1 19-06-2008 21:28:17 Zoppo & Avec-A Together with my school friend Cees I started a band called Zoppo. We re- corded songs on a Tascam 4 track and put out albums and singles. I played bass and odd prepared guitar arrangements and took care for the sound quality. Although limited in possibillity with only 6 strings during the record- ing proces this prepared guitar techniques gave quiet good results because of their sometimes unexpected aleatoric moments and it was just searching for a few hours and modify the tuning until it fitted in the already recorded guitar lines which formed the song structure. Zoppo, 1998 at the Noorderslag Festival, Groningen, Holland Originally we were a two piece studio band, but after two albums we started playing live and the reconstruction of the arrangements became a problem for me. Most of the time I remember how I prepare my guitars, but the moment of recording has besides the preparation many other pa- rameters too. Different from playing the guitar traditionally the sound can be 100% different and impossible inharmonic with only slight deviations of all this parameters like eq, distortion, tuning and third bridge positioning. And additionally when you stand up on the stage wearing the guitar traditionally on your shoulders the screwdriver slips off because of the gravity and moves while you are playing the song because of the string buzzing. Because of this increasing annoyance of not getting my sound un- Avec-A, 2004, at The End, Amsterdam der control with a normal guitar I started creating a custom built instrument. This was around 2000. I quited Zoppo because of a comic book store I then owned and started a less professional pressured band Avec-A with Valentijn. Because I was mainly focused on creating suitable instruments for sound enhancing at one moment I was not making music anymore at all. So my carreer as a musician dried up. The final and current result from my experi- mentalism has become not the music, but the instruments themselves to create music with. Building for other bands At one moment there were almost 20 wooden string instruments lying on my attic, not used at all. Then the idea raised to approach international bands for cooperating on my project. The plan: I created a string system for an experimental guitarist to offer him/her more sound possibilities. In return this would lead to an increasing attention for my work, maybe turning it into a commercial business. I first approached Liars who had just released Drum’s not Dead. After meeting them in Utrecht at a gig in Ekko they appreciated my offer and let me decide what to make for them. I had made a few third bridge guitars and decided to make for them an improved version of an earlier prototype. This became the Moodswinger. I made two exact copies, so I wouldn’t regret giving my instrument away. After Liars I approached Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth and created The attic on some of his ideas a symphatetic 18 string biheaded droning guitar. For Jad Fair I created a 2 string instrument with 12 additional plucking thumbs. I approached Amadeo of Blonde Redhead, for who I still have to built some- thing, hopefully soon I will be able to fulfil my promise to him. Recently I made a 3-way stereo guitar for Blood Red Shoes. From left to right: The Springtime for Laura-Mary Carter, the Bachelor QS for Jad Fair, the Moonlander for Lee Ranaldo and the Moodswinger for Aaron Hemphill. Drowned in sound kort.indd 2 19-06-2008 21:28:20 Back to the Moodswinger Afterwards the Moodswinger had a strange side effect on my musical perception, which is the subject of this text. The instrument contains the most worked out third bridge scale until now. I’ve not seen any other third bridge in- struments with this string division scaling. One precedor though is good to mention, because it formed my ideas; the Pencilina made by a guy Bradford Reed from New York called Bradford Reed. Bradford’s Pencilina comes the most close to my instrument, but is more individual in approach. He can play the instrument very well, but trained a long time for it. My main goal was to create an instrument on which every guitar player could easily play a tune. I was trained as a chemical analist, studying maths, science and physics, so I quiet well understood what was actually happening with the third bridge technique. But for Liars I had to devellop a system they would understand too. My English was very bad around then, so it had to be in the instrument. This leaded to my current research on string reso- nance, physics and microtonal scaling. I didn’t know Aaron had studied microbiology, so afterwards it was pretty easy to explain him how the instrument worked. He immediately understood what happened. On in- ternet I found a site about a slide instrument called the Analude made by a mathematician named Steven Rowat which contained a color dotted system indicating microtonal harmonic positions. Around then I didn’t understood quiet well how Rowat had constructed his colored scheme. He based it mainly on the just intonation theory of Harry Partch, using commonly used ratio’s like 16/15, 9/8, 6/5, 5/4, 4/3, 3/2, 8/5, 9/5, 15/8, The Moodswinger 2/1, etc.. Later on I discovered these are frequency ratios instead of the string ratios. I work with mainly string lengths, because this is much more clear for relationship between the several string positions. The string ra- tios are the inversions of frequency ratios. For 6 months I develloped a sort like color dotted system which explained the tonal cohesion of all rich tonal positions on my instruments. This was more clearly for myself then the double colored system Rowat worked with. With the colors I Bradford’s Pencilina, which already mentions the 1/4, 1/2 created families of tones. So the 1/2 position is grey for instance. 1/3 and and 3/4 on the upper neck and 1/4, 2/5, 3/5, 2/3 and 3/4 2/3 positions are the red dotted family. 1/4 and 3/4 orange. 1/5, 2/5, 3/5 on the lower neck. and 4/5 yellow, etc.. Just following the colors of the rainbow. I discovered the left side of the octave middle was a mirror image of the right on the scale. So the idea rose to put on two more scales on the neck as well on both sides of the string division scale.

    Musical acoustics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 11/07/13 17:28 Musical acoustics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Musical acoustics or music acoustics is the branch of acoustics concerned with researching and describing the physics of music – how sounds employed as music work. Examples of areas of study are the function of musical instruments, the human voice (the physics of speech and singing), computer analysis of melody, and in the clinical use of music in music therapy. Contents 1 Methods and fields of study 2 Physical aspects 3 Subjective aspects 4 Pitch ranges of musical instruments 5 Harmonics, partials, and overtones 6 Harmonics and non-linearities 7 Harmony 8 Scales 9 See also 10 External links Methods and fields of study Frequency range of music Frequency analysis Computer analysis of musical structure Synthesis of musical sounds Music cognition, based on physics (also known as psychoacoustics) Physical aspects Whenever two different pitches are played at the same time, their sound waves interact with each other – the highs and lows in the air pressure reinforce each other to produce a different sound wave. As a result, any given sound wave which is more complicated than a sine wave can be modelled by many different sine waves of the appropriate frequencies and amplitudes (a frequency spectrum). In humans the hearing apparatus (composed of the ears and brain) can usually isolate these tones and hear them distinctly. When two or more tones are played at once, a variation of air pressure at the ear "contains" the pitches of each, and the ear and/or brain isolate and decode them into distinct tones.

  • Real-Time Composition As a Strategy for the 21St Century Composer
    Escola Superior de Música e das Artes do Espectáculo Real-Time Composition as a Strategy for the 21st Century Composer Óscar Rodrigues A dissertation submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Composition and Music Theory supervised by Prof. Dimitris Andrikopoulos September 27, 2016 Abstract Real-Time Composition, despite being a term commonly used in computer music and free improvisation circles, is also one whose definition is not clear. This dissertation aims to, in seeking and attempting its conceptualisation, permit a deeper look at the core of the activity of western classical music making. By discussing the concepts and current views on composition, improvisation, musical work, interpretation and performance, we will propose a working definition that will later serve as a model for music making; one that involves both the composer and performers, influenced by their context, as creators. This model borrows heavily from Walter Thompson’s Soundpainting technique. We will then analyse the outcome of three different concerts, of increasing complexity and level of control, that resulted from the previous discussion and end by concluding that Real-Time Composition is, in fact, fundamentally different from improvisation, and an extension of western classical music practice. Keywords: real-time composition, improvisation, soundpainting Abstract A Composição em Tempo Real, apesar de ser um termo regularmente utilizado nos cír- culos da música electrónica e da improvisação livre, não tem uma definição clara. Esta dissertação tem como objectivo, ao procurar a sua conceptualização, perceber de forma mais profunda o núcleo da actividade produtiva da música clássica ocidental. Ao discutir os con- ceitos e entendimentos correntes de composição, improvisação, obra musical, interpretação e performance, será proposta uma definição operacional que irá posteriormente servir como modelo para a criação musical; este modelo envolve tanto compositores como intérpretes, influenciados pelo seu contexto, enquanto criadores.

  • The Duality of the Composer-Performer
    The Duality of the Composer-Performer by Marek Pasieczny Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Arts Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Supervisors: Prof. Stephen Goss ©Marek Pasieczny 2015 The duality of the composer-performer A portfolio of original compositions, with a supplementary dissertation ‘Interviews Project: Thirteen Composers on Writing for the Guitar’. Abstract The main focus of this submission is the composition portfolio which consists of four pieces, each composed several times over for different combinations of instruments. The purpose of this PhD composition portfolio is threefold. Firstly, it is to contribute to the expansion of the classical guitar repertoire. Secondly, it is to defy the limits imposed by the technical facilities of the physical instrument and bring novelty to its playability. Third and most importantly, it is to overcome the challenges of being a guitarist-composer. Due to a high degree of familiarity with the traditional guitar repertoire, and possessing intimate knowledge of the instrument, it is often difficult for me as a guitarist-composer to depart from habitual tendencies to compose truly innovative works for the instrument. I have thus created a compositional approach whereby I separated my role as a composer from my role as a guitarist in an attempt to overcome this challenge. I called it the ‘dual-role’ approach, comprising four key strategies that I devised which involves (1) borrowing ‘New Music’ practices to defy traditionalist guitar tendencies which are often conservative and insular; (2) adapting compositional materials to different instrumentations; and expanding on (3) the guitar technique as well as; (4) the guitar’s inventory of extended techniques.

    3/14/2016 Guitar harmonics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Guitar harmonics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A guitar harmonic is a musical note played by preventing or amplifying vibration of certain overtones of a guitar string. Music using harmonics can contain very high pitch notes difficult or impossible to reach by fretting. Guitar harmonics also produce a different sound quality than fretted notes, and are one of many techniques used to create musical variety. Contents Basic and harmonic oscillations of a 1 Technique string 2 Overtones 3 Nodes 4 Intervals 5 Advanced techniques 5.1 Pinch harmonics 5.2 Tapped harmonics 5.3 String harmonics driven by a magnetic field 6 See also 7 References Technique Harmonics are primarily generated manually, using a variety of techniques such as the pinch harmonic. Another method utilizes sound wave feedback from a guitar amplifier at high volume, which allows for indefinite vibration of certain string harmonics. Magnetic string drivers, such as the EBow, also use string harmonics to create sounds that are generally not playable via traditional picking or fretting techniques. Harmonics are most often played by lightly placing a finger on a string at a nodal point of one of the overtones at the moment when the string is driven. The finger immediately damps all overtones that do not have a node near the location touched. The lowest-pitch overtone dominates the resulting sound. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_harmonics 1/6 3/14/2016 Guitar harmonics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Overtones When a guitar string is plucked normally, the ear tends to hear the fundamental frequency most prominently, but the overall sound is also 0:00 MENU colored by the presence of various overtones (integer multiples of the Tuning a guitar using overtones fundamental frequency).

    NIGHTLIGHT: TRADITION AND CHANGE IN A LOCAL MUSIC SCENE Aaron Smithers A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Curriculum of Folklore. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Glenn Hinson Patricia Sawin Michael Palm ©2018 Aaron Smithers ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Aaron Smithers: Nightlight: Tradition and Change in a Local Music Scene (Under the direction of Glenn Hinson) This thesis considers how tradition—as a dynamic process—is crucial to the development, maintenance, and dissolution of the complex networks of relations that make up local music communities. Using the concept of “scene” as a frame, this ethnographic project engages with participants in a contemporary music scene shaped by a tradition of experimentation that embraces discontinuity and celebrates change. This tradition is learned and communicated through performance and social interaction between participants connected through the Nightlight—a music venue in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Any merit of this ethnography reflects the commitment of a broad community of dedicated individuals who willingly contributed their time, thoughts, voices, and support to make this project complete. I am most grateful to my collaborators and consultants, Michele Arazano, Robert Biggers, Dave Cantwell, Grayson Currin, Lauren Ford, Anne Gomez, David Harper, Chuck Johnson, Kelly Kress, Ryan Martin, Alexis Mastromichalis, Heather McEntire, Mike Nutt, Katie O’Neil, “Crowmeat” Bob Pence, Charlie St. Clair, and Isaac Trogden, as well as all the other musicians, employees, artists, and compatriots of Nightlight whose combined efforts create the unique community that define a scene.

Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: John Covach Reader: John Nádas Reader: Severine Neff Reader: Allen Anderson Reader: David Garcia © 2006 Akitsugu Kawamoto ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT AKITSUGU KAWAMOTO: Forms of Intertextuality: Keith Emerson’s Development as a “Crossover” Musician (Under the direction of John Covach) Despite the broad range of attempts to mix “rock” and “classical” music by “progressive (“prog”) rock” musicians from the late 1960s, many writers on prog rock have interpreted the music in a relatively monolithic manner; they often have interpreted the resulting intertextuality simplistically as an elitist experiment that opposes rock’s populist origin. This could certainly be one interpretation of prog, but it is only one of many; there are additional kinds of possible narratives, according to the specific ways in which the materials are combined and fused. Yet the variety of intertextual approaches has rarely been recognized explicitly, and little analytical or musicological attention has been paid to the distinctly different intertextual styles. Generalized approaches to intertextuality have been common not only within popular music studies, however, but also within many humanistic fields. Since Julia Kristeva’s coinage of the term intertextuality in the late 1960s, theorists of the arts (literature, music, painting, architecture, etc.), sociology, politics, economics, and many other fields, have almost always treated intertextuality in a singular manner, presuming that all intertextual practices are more or less of the same kind.

Bij bijvoorbeeld rouwverwerking begin ik vaak individueel, maar als dat verwerkt is stel ik vaak voor dat die persoon in een groep terecht komt. Dat stimuleer ik heel erg. Ik probeer er voor te zorgen dat kinderen niet verkrampen. Lach samen om fouten. Ik lach ook enorm veel in de therapieën. Dan is de spanning gebroken. Het is belangrijk om op de laag van de emotie te komen. Daar kun je kinderen mee helpen. Dat helpt ze om gevoelens te uiten. Of je kunt nieuw gedrag aanleren met muziektherapie.
