Jonty Harrison, Phipps Concert Hall - Creative Arts Building - University of Hudders- field (Huddersfield, England, UK) To Ali, Clare, and Emma One day, nearly 25 years ago, when I was recording a journey on the Lon- don Underground, a lost overseas visitor asked me directions: that incident gave me the idea for a piece based on the broad theme of travel, and the sense of disorientation, even alienation, it can engender. My habit of always carrying sound recording equipment started in the early 1990s when I became interested in capturing everyday sonic events that somehow indicated their geographical location. I have amassed quite a sound library over the past 25 years, but only started to investigate these materials methodically in 2014, with three re- lated works: Hidden Vistas - a 20-channel gallery piece, premiered at the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham (England, UK); Espaces cach´es - a 30- channel concert work, premiered at the Klang! ´electroacoustique 2014 festival in Montpellier (France); and Secret Horizons - a 14-channel installation work, composed for Birmingham Sculpture Trail and premiered at the RBSA Gallery in Birmingham. My approach in these three works was to ‘present’ the material, but in a way that, given the geographical disparity of some of the concurrently sound- ing materials, would be impossible in ‘real life’: we cannot, physically, be in two places at once, but it is entirely possible in the aural domain, especially if recognition and personal memory are evoked and involved. Presenting these works using large loudspeaker arrays, often in different rooms or areas of a single room, aided the illusion I was trying to create. I felt, however, that I wanted to subject this material to a more ‘in-depth’ acousmatic investigation, so was delighted when Pierre Alexandre Tremblay, one of my former PhD students at the University of Birmingham (England, UK) and now Professor of Music at the University of Huddersfield (England, 1 UK), asked me to compose a 60-minute multichannel work when I retired - it was the perfect opportunity. A ‘rough guide’ I thought it might be useful to offer some ‘signposts’ (this is a project about travel, after all!) - not to tell you what you ‘should’ be hearing, but sim- ply to enhance and complement your listening experience (and to give you something else to do if you get bored!). The musical moments or ‘scenes’ (some clearly delineated, others overlapping) are all completely artificially constructed. Some border on reportage or documentary; others are more fanciful but they all have their origins in specific locations. Telling you what and where these locations might be does not, I hope, detract from the aural experience. We begin and end in Italy, my second home. Between these scenes - one implying imminent motion, the other more restful and tranquil - we flit erratically and unpredictably between other locations in Europe, Iceland, Australia, North America, North Africa and parts of Asia, and the means of travel (trains, cars, planes, ships, etc) are lurking almost throughout. But the logic of the narrative (if there is one) does not lie in the geographical connections or distances but in the sonic journey: the relationships and con- trasts - spectral, rhythmic and spatial - that I had enormous pleasure in discovering within this huge range of material. I hope you enjoy the ride. 1. Railway stations in Florence, Pisa, Rome, and Castelfiorentino (Italy) 2.

  • An Investigation of Nine Acousmatic Compositions
    A PORTFOLIO OF ACOUSMATIC COMPOSITIONS BY DAVID HINDMARCH A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Music School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham December 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This portfolio charts my development as a composer during a period of three years. The works it contains are all acousmatic; they investigate sonic material through articulation and gesture, and place emphasis on spatial movement through both stereophony and multi-channel environments. The portfolio is written as a personal journey, with minimal reference to academic thinking, exploring the development of my techniques when composing acousmatic music. At the root of my compositional work is the examination and analysis of recorded sounds; these are extrapolated from musical phrases and gestural movement, which form the basis of my musical language. The nine pieces of the portfolio thus explore, emphasise and develop the distinct properties of the recorded source sounds, deriving from them articulated phrasing and gesture which are developed to give sound objects the ability to move in a stereo or multi-channel space with expressive force and sonic clarity.

  • Social Spatialisation EXPLORING LINKS WITHIN CONTEMPORARY SONIC ART by Ben Ramsay
    Social spatialisation EXPLORING LINKS WITHIN CONTEMPORARY SONIC ART by Ben Ramsay This article aims to briefly explore some the compositional links that exist between Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) and acousmatic music. Whilst the central theme of this article will focus on compositional links it will suggest some ways in which we might use these links to enhance pedagogic practice and widen access to acousmatic music. In particular, the article is concerned with documenting artists within Intelligent Dance Music (IDM), and how their practices relate to acousmatic music composition. The article will include a hand full of examples of music which highlight this musical exchange and will offer some ways to use current academic thinking to explain how IDM and acousmatics are related, at least from a theoretical point of view. There is a growing body of compositional work and theoretical research that draws from both acousmatics and various forms of electronic dance music. Much of this work blurs the boundaries of electronic music composition, often with vastly different aesthetic and cultural outcomes. Elements of acousmatic composition can be found scattered throughout Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) and on the other side of the divide there are a number of composers who are entering the world of acousmatics from a dance music background. This dynamic exchange of ideas and compositional processes is resulting in an interesting blend of music which is able to sit quite comfortably inside an academic framework as well as inside a more commercial one. Whilst there are a number of genres of dance music that could be described in terms of the theories that would normally relate to acousmatic music composition practices, the focus of this article lies particularly with Intelligent Dance Music.

In the 90s many electronic acts applied rock sensibilities to their music in a genre which became known as big beat. After some hesitation, we agreed. Main article: Chiptune. Pietro Grossi was an Italian pioneer of computer composition and tape music, who first experimented with electronic techniques in the early sixties. Music produced solely from electronic generators was first produced in Germany in Moreover, this version used a new standard called MIDI, and here I was ably assisted by former student Miller Puckette, whose initial concepts for this task he later expanded into a program called MAX. August 18, Some electronic organs operate on the opposing principle of additive synthesis, whereby individually generated sine waves are added together in varying proportions to yield a complex waveform. Cage wrote of this collaboration: "In this social darkness, therefore, the work of Earle Brown, Morton Feldman, and Christian Wolff continues to present a brilliant light, for the reason that at the several points of notation, performance, and audition, action is provocative. The company hired Toru Takemitsu to demonstrate their tape recorders with compositions and performances of electronic tape music. Other equipment was borrowed or purchased with personal funds. By the s, magnetic audio tape allowed musicians to tape sounds and then modify them by changing the tape speed or direction, leading to the development of electroacoustic tape music in the s, in Egypt and France.
