INTRODUCTION TO THE SECOND EDITION Brandon Farnsworth, Anna Jakobsson, Vanessa Massera We’re still here We write this introduction just short of one year since the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the cancellation of most live arts festivals and the closure of cultural institutions. It is also the second book we have made together as a team under lockdown. Though updating is always easier than starting something new, we also noticed how our research, Zoom meetings and editing process had developed into a certain rhythm and sense of normality. Traditionally, the festival format has been used to mark the passage of time, such as through feasts (or fests) celebrating the high holidays, or more recently through the yearly circuit of European music festivals spaced out throughout the calendar year (‘are you also coming to Darmstadt?’). Soon will come a period where, for the second time, it is impossible to gather together and mark this passage together as musical communities. This is significant because the repetition of this state of exception is antithetical to the concept of the festival itself. Festivals are always singular, unique experiences, promising continuity but also revitalization and novelty. In 2020 that novelty came from the morbid thrill of seeing established festivals make extraordinary decisions to cancel or alter their events and watching years of work evaporate without a trace. A second year of cancellation transgresses this novelty, transporting us back to the realm of normality, albeit a new and unfamiliar one. As these new patterns continue to inculcate themselves into our lives, what we left behind quickly fades in the rear-view mirror, becoming ever more difficult to ‘return to.’ Instead, attention has to be paid to where culture is happening now and cultural institutions need to support the artists and communities creating and consuming it. Just because concert halls are closed does not mean that culture has stopped, it has simply moved to occupy different spaces and taken on new, maybe yet-unrecognizable forms. Live events are guaranteed to return in time, as their ancient track record can attest, but it would be a mistake to confuse our nostalgia and sense of loss for the last world with aversion to the new one. As Adele Kosman from Konstmusiksystrar says in her follow- up interview, livestreaming concerts is simply uninteresting for many people, especially compared to the rich multitude of artistic practices developed specifically for online formats. In other words, the very modernist idea of wanting to bring ‘the concert hall into the comfort of your own home’ with as much fidelity as possible seems more to harken back to an era of technological progress and perfect digital representation than to forecast a new one. Whilst there is a need to spend time mourning ways of life now gone in order to understand what has changed and how we can persist, instead of imagining we are on hold and need to make due with ersatz digital concert halls, the structures themselves have to be redefined. We should concentrate on developing new forms of response-ability towards this newly emerging world, using this caesura as an opportunity for reflecting upon, reconsidering and reorganizing our working methods, programming practices and habituated ways of thinking. Speaking to this, artist Gabriel Dharmoo’s text observes that as the pandemic has worn on, artists’ willingness to produce and stay busy at any cost have begun to wane. As they come to appreciate slower ways of working, artists have also found an unexpected fissure in institutions reliant on their overproduction, opening doors to new forms both of creating and of resisting. For their part, many institutions have themselves rediscovered the advantages of response-ability and flexibility to reconfigure themselves to serve the shifting needs of artists and audiences. For instance, when transitioning nyMusikk’s OnlyConnect festival to an online-only format, as so many others in 2020 had to do, artistic director Bjørnar Habbestad discussed and developed concepts together with artists for how their ideas (not necessarily their concerts) could be translated into an online format. Because it prioritizes creating musical experiences over arranging concerts, nyMusikk saw an online- only festival as just yet another continuation of its existing activities and ways of working. At MUTEK in Montreal, the festival has been focusing on interrogating its aesthetic and social responsibilities to its audiences, rather than prescribing these in advance. This model has allowed the festival and its programming to grow and evolve, embracing change and diversification as necessary to staying relevant, rather than asking how an audience can be developed for a fixed set of artistic practices. Six months ago, we closed our first introduction to this book with what was then a cheeky call for art music to seize on this moment to finally sever its toxic relationship with a white, European bourgeois

  • The Nature and Practice of Soundscape Composition Bob Gluck, November 1999
    1 The Nature and Practice of Soundscape Composition Bob Gluck, November 1999 Soundscapes first emerged as a musical genre in the 1970s. They represent a unique musical form that grew out of the encounter between electronic music and acoustic ecology. Its driving force has been Canadian composers and sound artists. Soundscapes would not be conceivable outside of the history and context of electronic music. It was within the latter field that musicians and thinkers extended the boundaries of what constitutes musical sound, as Joel Chadabe (1997) terms it "the great opening up of music to all sounds." Soundscapes also reflect a particular historical moment. Its materials, forms and the relationship between the two (Adorno, 1996) offer a musical commentary on issues arising in the late 20th century western world. Acoustic ecology and soundscapes, a brief introduction The figure most identified as founding the acoustic ecology movement, from which soundscapes sprung forth, is R. Murray Schaefer. Schaefer wrote (1977, 1994): "I call the acoustic environment the soundscape, by which I mean the total field of sounds wherever we are. It is a word derived from landscape, though, unlike it, not strictly limited to the outdoors." Schaefer founded what has become known as the World Soundscape Project (WSP), which has been described by fellow founding member Barry Truax (1995), as: "to document and archive soundscapes, to describe and analyze them, and to promote increased public awareness through listening and critical thinking" and "to re-design

  • MTO 2.6: Broman, Report on the ISCM World Music Days
    Volume 2, Number 6, September 1996 Copyright © 1996 Society for Music Theory Per F. Broman KEYWORDS: ISCM, Boulez, Pli selon Pli—Portrait de Mallarme, Erling Gulbrandsen, IRCAM, Georgina Born ABSTRACT: University of Copenhagen, Department of Musicology hosted a three-day series of lectures in conjunction with the ISCM World Music Days in Copenhagen 1996. The unifying thread running through all seminars was institutionalization of the avant-garde and the concept of pluralism. Of particular interest from a theoretical perspective was the presentation of Norwegian young scholar Erling Gulbrandsen’s recent doctoral dissertation on Boulez’s Pli selon Pli. [1] The ISCM World Music Days is an annual festival for contemporary music and this year’s event was held in Copenhagen, the 1996 Cultural Capital City of Europe, September 7–14. In conjunction with the festival, the University of Copenhagen’s Department of Musicology hosted a three-day series of lectures featuring Georgina Born (London): “Pierre Boulez’s IRCAM. Institution, History, and the Situation of Contemporary Music Today”; Erling Gulbrandsen (Oslo): “New Light on Pierre Boulez and Postwar Modernism”; Reinhard Oehlschlagel (Cologne): “Institutions of New Music: Development, Typology, Problems”; shorter papers were read by a panel including Per O. Broman (Uppsala), Erik Wallrup (Stockholm) Jens Hesselager (Copenhagen), Steen K. Nielsen (Aarhus), and Per F. Broman (Stockholm) and were followed by a discussion. This final session was chaired by Soren Moller Sorensen (Copenhagen). [2] Georgina Born’s presentation consisted of a brief review of her recent book Rationalizing Culture: IRCAM, Boulez, and the Institutionalization of the Musical Avantgarde (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1995), followed by a new, more elaborate discussion of the cultural policy for supporting composers—a topic hinted at in the final chapter of her book.
