  • Sonification As a Means to Generative Music Ian Baxter
    Sonification as a means to generative music By: Ian Baxter A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts & Humanities Department of Music January 2020 Abstract This thesis examines the use of sonification (the transformation of non-musical data into sound) as a means of creating generative music (algorithmic music which is evolving in real time and is of potentially infinite length). It consists of a portfolio of ten works where the possibilities of sonification as a strategy for creating generative works is examined. As well as exploring the viability of sonification as a compositional strategy toward infinite work, each work in the portfolio aims to explore the notion of how artistic coherency between data and resulting sound is achieved – rejecting the notion that sonification for artistic means leads to the arbitrary linking of data and sound. In the accompanying written commentary the definitions of sonification and generative music are considered, as both are somewhat contested terms requiring operationalisation to correctly contextualise my own work. Having arrived at these definitions each work in the portfolio is documented. For each work, the genesis of the work is considered, the technical composition and operation of the piece (a series of tutorial videos showing each work in operation supplements this section) and finally its position in the portfolio as a whole and relation to the research question is evaluated. The body of work is considered as a whole in relation to the notion of artistic coherency. This is separated into two main themes: the relationship between the underlying nature of the data and the compositional scheme and the coherency between the data and the soundworld generated by each piece.

  • The Cyber-Guitar System: a Study in Technologically Enabled Performance Practice
    The Cyber-Guitar System: A Study in Technologically Enabled Performance Practice Jonathan Crossley (9405149d) Supervised by Professor Jeanne Zaidel-Rudolph and Dr Grant Olwage A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2017 i Declaration I know that plagiarism is wrong. Plagiarism is to use another’s work and to pretend that it is one’s own. I have used the author date convention for citation and referencing. Each significant contribution to and quotation in this dissertation from the work/s of other people has been acknowledged through citation and reference. I declare that this dissertation is my own unaided work. It is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any other degree or examination in any other university. Jonathan Crossley 9405149d 01-09-–2017 ii Abstract This thesis documents the development and realisation of an augmented instrument, the cyber-guitar, expressed through the processes of artistic practice as research. The research project set out to extend my own creative practice on the guitar by technologically enabling and extending the instrument. This process was supported by a number of creative outcomes (performances, compositions and recordings), running parallel to the interrogation of theoretical areas emerging out of the research. In the introduction I present a timeline for the project and situate the work in the field of artistic practice as research, explaining the relationship between research and artistic practice as research.

The exhibition consists of four new projects that represent the culmination of two years of research, travel, and creation, all centred around critical approaches to the depiction of physical environments. The title takes its name from the theory of apparent magnitude, credited to ancient Greek astronomer Hipparchus in the 2nd century BCE. Apparent magnitude was used to measure the brightness of celestial objects, and has evolved over the past two millennia to become a much more complex and integrated part of modern astrophysics. I am proposing that apparent magnitude can be thought of as a metaphor for the ways casual observations and depictions become embedded in culture and ideology – specifically in the context of how we represent physical environments. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank and acknowledge the support of my supervisor Mary Kavanagh, and supervisory committee members Don Gill and David Miller.

  • Brian Eno Issue 42
    Brian Eno Brian Eno is one of the most influential artists and producers in the world today. Whenever he opens his mouth, it’s worth listening. Paul Tingen was there to do just that. ubbed the ‘professor’ of audio, Brian Eno is one of the most respected musical artists of our time. He’s produced several Dof the world biggest acts including David Bowie, U2 and Talking Heads. He’s played on countless albums for others as well as recorded a swag of his own ground-breaking records. His music is everywhere and his musical philosophy resonates worldwide. Paul Tingen caught up with the mystery man himself to discuss music, the universe and everything. Right in the middle of Brian Eno’s workspace in west London is an object that perfectly illustrates the man’s worldview. The large, illuminated globe suspended from the ceiling is unremarkable in its own right. But it comes with a twist: it’s upside down. The symbolism is apt, for throughout his 35-year career, Eno has regularly turned musical instruments, technology, styles, concepts and approaches upside down, offering different perspectives on almost everything he engages with. “Honour thy error as a hidden intention,” proclaimed the first of a set of cards dubbed Oblique Strategies which Eno devised (with artist Peter Schmidt) in the 1970s, to be used in oracle-like fashion whenever one was feeling creatively stuck. “Familiarity breeds content,” punned Eno in 1999, in an article very critical of computers, opining that when dealing with technology users “prefer deep rapport over endless options.” And, while talking about production – the activity for which he is most famous, having produced legendary albums by David Bowie, Talking Heads, and U2 amongst others – Eno offered: “I figure that the listener requires about half of what you think you require when you’re the creator.” Agree or disagree, these statements are like a sleight of mind, forcing us to re-evaluate long-held ideas and working principles, which is, of course, exactly what Eno is after.

  • Aaron Dessner, Bryce Dessner, Jon Hopkins, Aoife Mcardle, Cillian Murphy, Max Porter Present All of This Unreal Time at MIF 21
    PRESS RELEASE Embargoed until 11am, WEDNESDAY 28 APRIL 2021 Aaron Dessner, Bryce Dessner, Jon Hopkins, Aoife McArdle, Cillian Murphy, Max Porter Present All of This Unreal Time at MIF 21 Six critically acclaimed artists have come together in a new collaborative partnership to present the world premiere of All of This Unreal Time, a unique cross artform collaboration which candidly explores one man’s failings. ‘I came out here to apologise. You know. I find myself, at the midpoint of my life, in a dark wood, and now I’m here, in the forest of my mind, and every tree is shame, every living thing is a reprimand, and I realise, I must speak freely now, before I lose you.’ A man – any man, everyman – walks alone through night and the city. From subway to pavement to wide open marshland, he confesses his failings: emotional, physical, political. To whom, and for what? Ashamed and alarmed, he considers both the smallness of human life and the scale of the world, and ultimately our most pressing obligation: to care for those alongside us, and for the earth that sustains us. A film starring Cillian Murphy, written by Max Porter, directed by Aoife McArdle and with music by Aaron Dessner, Bryce Dessner and Jon Hopkins, All of This Unreal Time will be presented as an immersive installation in surround sound. Aoife McArdle said: “It was easy to be inspired by the range and power Cillian has as an actor and the poetry of Max’s words. Rainy, empty, lockdown streets became vivid canvases.

  • Thinking Inside the Box: Brian Eno, Music, Movement and Light THINKING INSIDE the BOX Brian Eno, Music, Movement and Light
    Rupert Loydell & Kingsley Marshall Thinking Inside the Box: Brian Eno, music, movement and light THINKING INSIDE THE BOX Brian Eno, music, movement and light Kingsley Marshall & Rupert Loydell ‘In total darkness, or in a very large room, very quietly’ (Eno & Schmidt, 1979) One ‘Do nothing for as long as possible’ (Eno & Schmidt, 1979) ‘Brian Eno isn’t particularly known for his visual art. He’s known for shattering musical conventions’ (Dustin Driver, 2007). This state of affairs may be changed by the publication of Christopher Scoates Brian Eno. Visual Music (2013) which ‘focus[es] on the ways in which Eno’s approach to art making overlaps and flows seamlessly between both his art and music, and approach[es] Eno’s work from diverse perspectives that attest to the breadth of his inquiry.’ (ibid: pp. 14-15) This breadth of enquiry, along with his art materials can sometimes put Eno at odds with the art world. ‘Brian Eno paints with light. And his paintings, like the medium, shift and dance like free-flowing jazz solos or elaborate ragas.’ (Driver, 2007), that is they are hard to pin down, and they are certainly not paintings or sculptures in the traditional sense. Eno challenges this: ‘The problem with the whole art object theory, the idea that art somehow resides inside objects because artists have put it there or discovered it, creates a picture of an independent entity, a substance in the world called Art’ (In Prendergast, 2008) Whether making sculptures which fit over light sources, computer programmes which endlessy change and mutate, apps for phones and tablets, or site-specific exhibitions (often in specially constructed sites), Eno has concerned himself with ‘compositions which change every time they’re played as the systems behind them introduce some kind of randomness.’ (Steadman, 2012) and by making ‘something so seductive that you couldn’t leave’ (Eno in Locker, 2013).

E notavamo come il livello medio fosse piuttosto alto, anche se mai altissimo. Il 2005 è andato oltre le previsioni: mai come l'anno scorso abbiamo dovuto fare i conti con una quantità così ingente di dischi, soprattutto di nomi nuovi o comunque non ancora affermati. Quel che è aumentato, rispetto ad uno, ma ancor più rispetto a cinque o a dieci anni fa, non sembra essere il maggior numero di uscite, ma il maggior numero di dischi a cui più facilmente possiamo accedere. Un tempo stilare una classifica dei migliori dischi dell'anno poteva diventare difficoltoso. Stavolta le 50 posizioni sono parse ridotte a più di un votante.
