Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Andrea F. Bohlman Mark Evan Bonds Tim Carter Mark Katz Lee Weisert © 2020 Joanna Evelyn Helms ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joanna Evelyn Helms: Electronic Music History through the Everyday: The RAI Studio di Fonologia (1954–83) (Under the direction of Andrea F. Bohlman) My dissertation analyzes cultural production at the Studio di Fonologia (SdF), an electronic music studio operated by Italian state media network Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI) in Milan from 1955 to 1983. At the SdF, composers produced music and sound effects for radio dramas, television documentaries, stage and film operas, and musical works for concert audiences. Much research on the SdF centers on the art-music outputs of a select group of internationally prestigious Italian composers (namely Luciano Berio, Bruno Maderna, and Luigi Nono), offering limited windows into the social life, technological everyday, and collaborative discourse that characterized the institution during its nearly three decades of continuous operation. This preference reflects a larger trend within postwar electronic music histories to emphasize the production of a core group of intellectuals—mostly art-music composers—at a few key sites such as Paris, Cologne, and New York. Through close archival reading, I reconstruct the social conditions of work in the SdF, as well as ways in which changes in its output over time reflected changes in institutional priorities at RAI.

    Science Museum Group Journal The Hugh Davies Collection: live electronic music and self-built electro-acoustic musical instruments, 1967–1975 Journal ISSN number: 2054-5770 This article was written by Dr James Mooney 03-01-2017 Cite as 10.15180; 170705 Research The Hugh Davies Collection: live electronic music and self-built electro-acoustic musical instruments, 1967–1975 Published in Spring 2017, Sound and Vision Article DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15180/170705 Abstract The Hugh Davies Collection (HDC) at the Science Museum in London comprises 42 items of electronic sound apparatus owned by English experimental musician Hugh Davies (1943–2005), including self-built electro-acoustic musical instruments and modified sound production and manipulation hardware. An early proponent of ‘live electronic music’ (performed live on stage rather than constructed on magnetic tape in a studio), Davies’s DIY approach shaped the development of experimental and improvised musics from the late 1960s onwards. However, his practice has not been widely reported in the literature, hence little information is readily available about the material artefacts that constituted and enabled it. This article provides the first account of the development of Davies’s practice in relation to the objects in the HDC: from the modified electronic sound apparatus used in his early live electronic compositions (among the first of their kind by a British composer); through the ‘instrumental turn’ represented by his first self-built instrument, Shozyg I (1968); to his mature practice, where self-built instruments like Springboard Mk. XI (1974) replaced electronic transformation as the primary means by which Davies explored new and novel sound-worlds.

    BAD ALCHEMY 44 MC 1 2 NEW CONCEPTIONS OF JAZZ ? Wenn ich mir klar gemacht hätte, dass der Personenkreis der zwischen 14- und 24-Jährigen nur ca. 12% meiner deutschen Zeitgenossen ausmacht (sich in der Kriminalstatistik aber mit über 30% breit macht!), hätte ich mir von dieser vorlauten Minderheit nicht so lange die Sonne verstellen zu lassen. Sollen sie sich doch um ihre poppigen Spielsachen prügeln, BA als ein sich an Alle richtendes Organ braucht den dafür entsprechend weiten Horizont. Für Rock bin ich aber noch zu jung, für Pop und Club- Electro zu alt, für's Allerlei aus Aller-Welt zu bodenständig, für Klassik zu sehr Prolet, bleibt eigentlich nur >Jazz (und anderes)< als Musik für mich und meinesgleichen. Aber ist der >Jazz< von heute, vom gehypeten Hochglanz- bis zum Wasch-mich-aber-mach-mich-nicht-nass-Indie-Dschäss, nicht auch bloß ein polystilistisches Wiederkäuen des Dagewesenen, ein entropisches Schnorren vom Abraum der Jazz- Histoire, ein Refugium für Schmocks? Nur noch Acid und Latin und Fusion und Salsa nach Anything-goes- Rezepten, Jazz goes House, Jazz meets Klezmer, Imaginary Balkan, mystifiziertes Mittelalter? 'Nu' & 'Nova', war das auch mal etwas anderes als ein marktschreierisches Etikett aus der Medienhuren- und Raffbranche, die ihre auf 'now' geschminkten alten Zauseleien auf den globalen Basars zu verhökern versucht? Wie schrieb einst Rolf Niemczyk so schön: "Aus der großen Hexenküche der Popmusik ent- steht mal wieder etwas NEUES. Wie NEU, darüber muß/kann gestritten werden." (Spex 5/89) Wo verbirgt sich nun das Unerhörte mit einer Halbwertzeit, die eine Modesaison überdauert? Wo finde ich Zeitgemäßes, gar Zukunftsweisendes in einer Musik, die ihre besten Tage vor dem 'New Thing' der 60er hatte, wie die Traditionalisten diktieren.

STOCKHAUSEN - MIKROPHONIE I SIMON EMMERSON It is often true that important ideas are based upon misconceptions or misrepresentations of the truth. From 1964 to 1966 Stockhausen broadcast a series of lectures on West German Radio under the general title 'Do you know music which can only be heard over loudspeakers7'1 In each lecture he covered a particular studio and its key works: the first series, broadcast monthly, covered GRM and Studio Apsome (Paris); WDR (Cologne), RAI (Milan); Warsaw and Brussels; Stockholm, Helsinki, Reykjavik, Copenhagen, Toronto; Tokyo and Columbia-Princeton (New York). It is significant that by 1964 the polemical comment on - and even outright rejection of - 'non-purist' electro-aco·ustics tiad almost entirely disappeared. Although still two years before the shatteringly pluralist ideas of Telemusik and Hymnen, Stockhausen had already moved, as we shall see in examining his 'live electronic' works of the mid-1960s, from the 'additive· synthesis of the electronic Studien (1953-54), 23 through the impulse-based synthesis of Kontakte (1959-60) I had bought myself a large tarn-tarn for my composition to the 'subtractive' synthesis of Mikrophonie /: the sound Momente and set it up in my garden.

    BAD ALCHEMY 45 I. Andante un poco mosso - attacca 1 1984 2004 2 Ein Labelporträt von Michael Zinsmaier Eines Tages, so die Anekdote, betraten zwei gestylte Jugendliche den sagenumwobenen WAVE-Plat- tenladen in der Rue De Soeurs Macaron in Nancy um vielleicht in den Regalen nach dem neuesten Schmus zu suchen. Im Geschäft lief gerade die CD einer japanischen Noise-Band und die Disharmonien veranlassten einen der Beiden zu der Bemerkung, was das denn für eine Scheiße sei. Woraufhin der La- deninhaber ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken und ohne ein Wort zu verlieren die Lautstärke bis zur Uner- träglichkeit hochdrehte bis die Beiden die Flucht ergriffen. Dies sagt Einiges aus über Konsequenz und Philosophie von DSA. Der Ladeninhaber war Gérard Nguyen, 1951 als Sohn eines vietnamesischen Vaters und einer deut- schen Mutter geboren, in der von Rokoko-Prunk und Industrie gleichermaßen geprägten lothringschen 100 000-Einwohner-Stadt Nancy aufgewachsen und schon früh vom Morbus Musica Experimentalis befallen. Naturgemäß wenig linientreu zu den stilprägenden US-amerikanischen und britischen unabhängigen Labels wie Ralph Records, Rough Trade oder Recommended Records, versuchten die franko- phonen Vertreter der Free Musik und des Punks Anfang der 80er Jahre andere Wege zu gehen. Illusion Prod., Nato, AYAA oder das Kassetten-Label Tago Mago versprachen bezüglich Design und Grad an Strangeness weitere Verheißungen (aufgrund der Kunst- und Philosophiereferenzen gar eine Be- wusstseinserweiterung?) Vor zwanzig Jahren gegründet ist Gérard Nguyens Label (1988 kam der Laden in Nancy, 1998 der in Paris hinzu) heute allerdings eine der wenigen noch existierenden Firmen aus dieser Zeit mit Avantgar- de-Ausrichtung. Der Labelkatalog selbst liest sich heutzutage einerseits wie ein Kompendium der alter- nativen Avantgardeströmungen der letzten 30 Jahre, aber auch wie ein der Qualitätskontrolle verpflich- teter Gradmesser aktueller Tendenzen.
