  • The Importance of Being Digital Paul Lansky 3/19/04 Tart-Lecture 2004
    The Importance of Being Digital Paul Lansky 3/19/04 tART-lecture 2004 commissioneed by the tART Foundation in Enschede and the Gaudeamus Foundation in Amsterdam Over the past twenty years or so the representation, storage and processing of sound has moved from analog to digital formats. About ten years audio and computing technologies converged. It is my contention that this represents a significant event in the history of music. I begin with some anecdotes. My relation to the digital processing and music begins in the early 1970’s when I started working intensively on computer synthesis using Princeton University’s IBM 360/91 mainframe. I had never been interested in working with analog synthesizers or creating tape music in a studio. The attraction of the computer lay in the apparently unlimited control it offered. No longer were we subject to the dangers of razor blades when splicing tape or to drifting pots on analog synthesizers. It seemed simple: any sound we could describe, we could create. Those of us at Princeton who were caught up in serialism, moreover, were particularly interested in precise control over pitch and rhythm. We could now realize configurations that were easy to hear but difficult and perhaps even impossible to perform by normal human means. But, the process of bringing our digital sound into the real world was laborious and sloppy. First, we communicated with the Big Blue Machine, as we sometimes called it, via punch cards: certainly not a very effective interface. Next, we had a small lab in the Engineering Quadrangle that we used for digital- analog and analog-digital conversion.

    (CCM)2 - College-Conservatory of Music Center for Computer Music, University of Cincinnati Mara Helmuth, Director (CCM)2 (1) Michael Barnhart, Carlos Fernandes, Cheekong Ho, Bonnie Miksch (1) Division of Composition, History and Theory - College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati [email protected] [email protected] http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu Abstract The College-Conservatory of Music Center for Computer Music at the University of Cincinnati is a new environment for computer music composition and research. Composers create sound on powerful systems with signal processing and MIDI, with an excellent listening environment. The technical and aesthetical aspects of computer music can be studied in courses for composers, theorists and performers. Innovative research activity in granular synthesis, live performance interfaces and sound/animation connections is evolving, incorporating collaborative work with faculty in the School of Art. CCM has traditionally had a lively performance environment, and the studios are extending the capabilities of performers in new directions. Computer music concerts and other listening events by students, faculty and visiting composers are becoming regular occurrences. 1 Introduction video cables connect the studios and allow removal of noisy computer CPUs from the listening spaces. Fiber network connections will be installed for internet An amorphous quality based on many aspects of the access and the studio website. The studios will also be environment, including sounds of pieces being created, connected by fiber to a new studio theater, for remote personalities of those who work there, software under processing of sound created and heard in the theater. construction, equipment, layout and room design, and The theater will be equipped with a sixteen-channel architecture creates a unique studio environment.

  • 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.

  • A Tuner of His World: an Interview with Paul Lansky
    A Tuner of His World: An Interview with Paul Lansky Alistair Riddell Few composers in recent years have explored the boundaries of computer music as imaginatively as Paul Lansky. Recognizing that Lansky's creative stature is as palpable in the exquisiteness of his music as it is in the detail of his curriculum vi-, I decided to think of this interview as a collection of corridor chats (non-linear, of course!). Over time, I was hoping to gain insight into his current creative concerns the way I had through incidental daily contact as a graduate student at Princeton in the early 1990s. Although this interview was conducted by email, the text, I hope, has an imprint of candid spontaneity and informality to the extent possible through this type of exchange and under the imperative of general publication. The fact that we are seasoned emailers-communicating this way for more than a decade now-would, at least, ensure that the interview mechanics were natural and relaxed. Certainly, this text is considered. Its measure is different from that of a conversation transcribed from a recording because it evolved over a much longer period. A slow dialogue in electronic letters. I like to imagine he composed his responses on the same computer he composes his music (I know I did). Entirely probable, and an observation I'm sure would appeal to his sense of technological engagement. To view Lansky as a computer hacker or boffin is to see him with only one of his hats on (others he wears are Professor of music at Princeton University, composer, guitar freak and folk music lover).

  • Section 9: Analysis and Resynthesis Procedures
    9. Analysis and resynthesis procedures (This section last updated June 2002) This section provides tutorial information on three analysis/resynthesis techniques available on the ECMC SGI and Linux systems: • phase vocoder programs analyze the changing signal energy within hundreds or thousands of very narrowfrequencybands; during resynthesis, the signal is reconstructed, but modifications in pitch, duration or other parameters can be introduced • sms ("Spectral Modeling Synthesis") is a package of programs originally developed at CCRMA (Stanford University) in which sounds are divided into a periodic (pitched) component, analyzed in a manner similar to phase vocoder procedures, and a "stochastic" (aperiodic) component, analyzed as filtered white noise. sms resynthesis techniques provide a broad range of sound modification possi- bilities, including timbral morphing, but work much better with certain types of sounds than with oth- ers. • linear predictor coding (lpc)analysis and resynthesis programs do not attempt to capture every frequencycomponent within a source sound,but rather to capture time-varying spectral formants (res- onances, or emphasized narrowfrequencybands). Spectral formant analyses created by lpc software can be used with Eastman Csound Library instrument algorithm resyn to produce varied resynthesis of a sound, or with algorithm xsyn to create a hybrid, cross-synthesized "child" sound that has some characteristics of its two"parent" sounds; lpc resynthesis and cross-synthesis also can be performed with the mixviews application.

  • Primary Compositional Characteristics in the Instrumental Music of Paul
    PRIMARY COMPOSITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS IN THE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC OF PAUL LANSKY AS DEMONSTRATED IN HOP (1993) Eric Jason Willie, B.S., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2010 APPROVED: Mark Ford, Major Professor Bernardo Illari, Committee Member Christopher Deane, Committee Member Lynn Eustis, Director of Graduate Studies John Holt, Chair, Division of Instrumental Studies James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Willie, Eric Jason. Primary Compositional Characteristics in the Instrumental Music of Paul Lansky as Demonstrated in Hop (1993). Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), December 2010, 53 pp., 2 tables, 18 musical examples, sources, 27 titles. This dissertation provides insight into the compositional characteristics of Paul Lansky’s instrumental works as demonstrated in Hop (1993). As well, this document intends to make Hop more approachable to performers through a structural, harmonic, and rhythmic analysis. This dissertation presents a brief overview of Lansky’s biographical information, discusses background information about Marimolin (the ensemble that premiered the piece), and provides an analysis of Hop. Hop is analyzed with regard to form, harmony, and rhythm. The analysis was conducted through a tonal approach, and harmonies are identified with a lead sheet analysis. Personal interviews with Paul Lansky and marimbist Nancy Zeltsman provided significant insight into Lansky’s influences, musical characteristics, as well as other elements pertaining to Hop. Copyright 2010 by Eric Jason Willie ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I want to thank my family and friends who have supported me throughout this process, particularly my wife Rebecca, my grandparents, and my parents.
