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 -

An example is Jacques Dudon's photosonic instrument while exploiting non-contact light sensing for a instrument [7, 4] from the 1980s, which was composed of truly expressive performance. The system consists of a suite a photodiode, light source, semi-transparent rotating disk, of sensors that convert rotation, orientation, touch, and user and an optical filter. The disk was patterned in such a way proximity into various audio filters and effects operated on that when rotated, the intensity of light passing through it preset wave tables, while offering a persistence of vision dis- changes at audio frequencies (like an optical sound track on play for input visualization.

Curtis-Smith, conductor Lucia Dlugoszewski (b Detroit, 1931) studied physics and mathematics at Wayne State University and planned to go into medicine before she took up a professional career in music. She studied piano with Grete Sultan, analysis with Felix Salzer, and composition with Edgard Varèse in the early fifties, and during that time was also active writing poetry and collaborating with the philosopher F.S.C. Northrop on aesthetical writings. In her music Dlugoszewski has always been concerned with exploring new sounds—both from conventional instruments, for which she has written highly virtuosic music—and from her own pitched and non-pitched percussion instruments which now number over 100. Jamake Highwater recently wrote “ . even in this era of avant-garde for the masses Lucia Dlugoszewski remains special and separate—the composer of music too eloquent to be called ‘difficult,’ too fragile to be called ‘bold,’ and too significant to be called ‘experimental.’ Dlugoszewski’s music was much admired and supported in the fifties and sixties by New York painters and poets but was generally avoided by the musical establishment. One lone voice, that of Virgil Thomson, described her music in his American Music Since 1910 as “Far-out music of great delicacy, originality, and beauty of sound.” It was only in 1975 that her music began to emerge from relative obscurity when Pierre Boulez commissioned Abyss and Caress for the New York Philharmonic and its soloist Gerard Schwarz. -
Battles Around New Music in New York in the Seventies
Presenting the New: Battles around New Music in New York in the Seventies A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Joshua David Jurkovskis Plocher IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY David Grayson, Adviser December 2012 © Joshua David Jurkovskis Plocher 2012 i Acknowledgements One of the best things about reaching the end of this process is the opportunity to publicly thank the people who have helped to make it happen. More than any other individual, thanks must go to my wife, who has had to put up with more of my rambling than anybody, and has graciously given me half of every weekend for the last several years to keep working. Thank you, too, to my adviser, David Grayson, whose steady support in a shifting institutional environment has been invaluable. To the rest of my committee: Sumanth Gopinath, Kelley Harness, and Richard Leppert, for their advice and willingness to jump back in on this project after every life-inflicted gap. Thanks also to my mother and to my kids, for different reasons. Thanks to the staff at the New York Public Library (the one on 5th Ave. with the lions) for helping me track down the SoHo Weekly News microfilm when it had apparently vanished, and to the professional staff at the New York Public Library for Performing Arts at Lincoln Center, and to the Fales Special Collections staff at Bobst Library at New York University. Special thanks to the much smaller archival operation at the Kitchen, where I was assisted at various times by John Migliore and Samara Davis. -

Pierre Bourdieu’s theories of cultural production provide the theoretical tools to approach the company as a cultural producer and not only as theatre artists. Te Living Teatre has produced largely unpopular avant-garde and political theatre for seventy years. I argue that the company’s early years demonstrate a growing reserve of symbolic capital that helps explain the company’s longevity. Furthermore, the manner in which certain events in the company’s history have been mythologized, by company members, critics, and scholars, has led to some historically inaccurate accounts. In particular, accounts of the closing of the company’s production of Te Brig in 1963 and the subsequent trial of Beck and Malina in 1964 have often been infuenced by an acceptance of company member’s anecdotal, “tall tales” approach to history rather than historical evidence and archival documents. -

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. -
Résonance Et Perception Des Harmoniques Naturelles
UNIVERSITE PARIS VIII – VINCENNES A SAINT-DENIS UFR « Arts, Philosophie, Esthétique » Département de Musique RESONANCE ET PERCEPTION DES HARMONIQUES ATURELLES Julien GILI Mémoire de maîtrise réalisé sous la direction de M. Philippe MICHEL Année universitaire 2004 – 2005 1 Avant-propos L’élan qui a motivé ce travail pourrait se résumer à une curiosité permanente qui s’est amplifiée au fur et à mesure que je creusais le sujet des vibrations sonores et de l’acoustique naturelle. L’étude des musiques du monde et des instruments peu communs m’a fait prendre conscience que dans les cultures les plus éloignées, aussi bien historiquement que géographiquement, on retrouve des points communs surprenants, des coïncidences qui, au fond ne sont sans doute pas le fruit du hasard. Parmi ces principes universels, je me suis particulièrement penché sur le phénomène de la résonance et celui de la série des harmoniques naturelles. Je tenterai de les rapprocher dans ce mémoire en mettant en évidence leurs effets et leurs utilisations. Il n’y a pas de réel commencement à cette curiosité, mais plutôt une série de découvertes plus ou moins importantes qui, par étapes, m’ont encouragé à en savoir toujours plus. La première phase significative fut franchie grâce au travail de l’ethnomusicologue Trân Quang Hai, qui m’a d’ailleurs accordé un précieux entretien. Dans un documentaire vidéo réalisé par Hugo Zemp, il présente ses recherches sur le chant diphonique. Ce chant, qui fait entendre deux sons simultanément, m’a particulièrement intéressé et l’approche pédagogique de T.Q.Hai m’a encouragé à le développer sur ma propre voix. -
Universi^ Micrafilms International
INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
