    NCRC 2012 Radio Awards Application, Documentary Bio and Program Note Producer: Brian Meagher Bio: It all began when I was six years old and I heard `Popcorn` for the first time. I remember being at the A&W Drive-In, the waitresses arriving at our car on roller skates, and this incredible song providing the soundtrack. Electronic music has provided my soundtrack ever since. Program: Synthumentary (episodes 1-3) Description: Synthumentary is a five-part look at the evolution of the electronic instruments and their place in popular culture, from the earliest electromechanical musical devices to the Moog explosion of the late 60`s and early 70`s. Synthumentary presents a survey of the landmark inventors, instruments, artists and recordings of each era. In each episode, we look at a different scene, discuss the era`s principle actors and play some of their music to illustrate the style of music made at the time. The evolution of electronic music technology is explained to frame each episode. Our aim is to provide the casual listener of electronic music with an appreciation of its possibilities and the more knowledgeable fan with at least a few nuggets of novel information. Among the subjects covered are: The Telharmonium, Theremin, The ”Forbidden Planet” Soundtrack, Raymond Scott, The Ondioline, Jean-Jacques Perrey and Gershon Kingsley, Bob Moog and the Moog music phenomena, Silver Apples, and the Canadian scene: Hugh LeCaine to Bruce Haack to Jean Sauvageau. The intro and outro theme is an original composition written and performed by members of The Unireverse for Synthumentary. The audio submitted contains excerpts from all three episodes.

Even in today’s world of instant information, where anyone can access all there is to know about any given topic, this subject seems to remain obscured by age. Clavioline, Ondioline, Univox, Solovox - these are the most well known of this species, and are all pretty similar to each other. All feature a real-time volume controller, operated by the knee when the player sits in front of the instrument.

  • Performer Experience on a Continuous Keyboard Instrument
    Moro and McPherson 1 Performer experience on a continuous keyboard instrument Giulio Moro and Andrew P. McPherson Centre For Digital Music Queen Mary University of London London, United Kingdom, E1 4NS [email protected] Abstract On several keyboard instruments the produced sound is not always dependent exclusively on a discrete key velocity parameter and minute gestural details can affect the final sonic result. By contrast, variations in articulation beyond velocity have normally no effect on the produced sound when the keyboard controller uses the MIDI standard, used in the vast majority of digital keyboards. In this paper we introduce a novel keyboard-based digital musical instruments that uses continuous readings of key position to control a nonlinear waveguide flute synthesizer with a richer set of interaction gestures than would be possible through a velocity-based keyboard. We then report on the experience of six players interacting with our instrument and reflect on their experience, highlighting the opportunities and challenges that come with continuous key sensing. «BEGIN ARTICLE» Several keyboard instruments offer a more or less subtle position and/or gesture dependent control on the timbral and temporal characteristics of the sound of a note, as reviewed in McPherson (2015) and Moro (2020, ch 2). The Ondioline, an electronic Computer Music Journal June 8, 2021 Moro and McPherson 2 synthesizer invented in 1941 by Georges Jenny, is a particularly outstanding demonstration of how the effect of continuous key position, combined with side-by-side vibrato can produce a remarkably expressive instrument, even by today’s standards (Fourier et al., 1994).

  • Modélisation Et Simulation De Systèmes Discrétisés Par La
    Modélisation et simulation de systèmes discrétisés par la méthode des éléments finis dans le formalisme des Systèmes Hamiltoniens à Ports : application à la synthèse sonore Raibaud Mathis Master 2 ATIAM Année universitaire : 2017-2018 Responsables du stage : David Roze, Chargé de ReCherChe CNRS Robert PiéChaud, Ingénieur de développement IRCAM Résumé Ce stage de fin d’études a pour but la modélisation et la simulation de systèmes de dimension infinie non linéaires discrétisés par la méthode des éléments finis dans le formalisme des Systèmes Hamiltoniens à Ports. Dans ce sujet, le modèle de corde non linéaire de Kirchhoff-Carrier est étudié. La formulation faible du modèle non linéaire permet d’en obtenir une version discrétisée approximant la solution par interpolation polynômiale. En modifiant l’écriture du système, il est alors possible de décrire ce problème dans le formalisme des SHP. A l’aide d’une méthode à passivité garantie en temps discret, le bilan de puissance du problème non linéaire est assuré au cours de la simulation numérique. Les résultats sont présentés et analysés pour différentes valeurs d’excitations extérieures. Après une transcription du script dans un langage compilé, les temps de calculs du modèle non linéaire en temps-réel sont discutés. mots-clés : synthèse sonore, modélisation physique, systèmes non linéaires, méthodes des éléments finis, Systèmes Hamiltoniens à Ports Abstract This master’s thesis aims at the modeling and the simulation of nonlinear infinite dimensional systems discretized by the finite element method in the formalism of Port Hamiltonian Systems. In this subject, the Kirchhoff-Carrier nonlinear string model is studied. The weak formulation of the nonlinear model makes it possible to obtain a discretized version approximating the solution by polynomial interpolation.

  • The People's Museum of Musical Heritage
    JAMES BRUBAKER The PeoPle’s MuseuM of Musical heriTage 1. The Stradivarius My first find for the museum: a Stradivarius violin. Or that’s what I thought. I pulled the instrument out of an antique shop in New York. There were two small food dishes just inside the door, blue ceramic and flower shaped, cat-sized, and a heavy blanket of dust, like kudzu, covering the remaining merchandise. The store appeared to have been deserted for at least a decade, judging from the accumulated dust. The violin was in a back corner, on a shelf behind an iron grate that was locked with a padlock. My torch made short work of the lock. I pulled the instrument off the shelf and wiped a clear patch off the front. Dust fell away like dryer lint. I blew into the instrument’s f-holes and, when the resulting dust cleared, I was thrilled by what I saw: “—varius.” A few more puffs of breath into the violin revealed the full name, Stradivarius. I learned about the fabled Stradivarius violin from 41 a book about classical music, containing a chapter on famous performers THE PEOPLE’S MUSEUM OF MUSICAL HERITAGE and their instruments. Due to this book’s explication of the instrument’s rarity, I was determined to find one. I figured the artifact I had found was a German-made reproduction, produced in the 1950’s and worth only the materials used in its construction, until I returned to my workshop at the museum and examined the instrument against an old dealer’s guide.
