Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Andrea F. Bohlman Mark Evan Bonds Tim Carter Mark Katz Lee Weisert © 2020 Joanna Evelyn Helms ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joanna Evelyn Helms: Electronic Music History through the Everyday: The RAI Studio di Fonologia (1954–83) (Under the direction of Andrea F. Bohlman) My dissertation analyzes cultural production at the Studio di Fonologia (SdF), an electronic music studio operated by Italian state media network Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI) in Milan from 1955 to 1983. At the SdF, composers produced music and sound effects for radio dramas, television documentaries, stage and film operas, and musical works for concert audiences. Much research on the SdF centers on the art-music outputs of a select group of internationally prestigious Italian composers (namely Luciano Berio, Bruno Maderna, and Luigi Nono), offering limited windows into the social life, technological everyday, and collaborative discourse that characterized the institution during its nearly three decades of continuous operation. This preference reflects a larger trend within postwar electronic music histories to emphasize the production of a core group of intellectuals—mostly art-music composers—at a few key sites such as Paris, Cologne, and New York. Through close archival reading, I reconstruct the social conditions of work in the SdF, as well as ways in which changes in its output over time reflected changes in institutional priorities at RAI.

  • Scambi Fushi Tarazu: a Musical Representation of a Drosophila Gene Expression Pattern
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 4 January 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202001.0026.v1 Scambi fushi tarazu: A Musical Representation of a Drosophila Gene Expression Pattern Derek Gatherer Division of Biomedical & Life Sciences Lancaster University Lancaster LA1 4YW, UK [email protected] Abstract: The term Bio-Art has entered common usage to describe the interaction between the arts and the biological sciences. Although Bio-Art implies that Bio-Music would be one of its obvious sub- disciplines, the latter term has been much less frequently used. Nevertheless, there has been no shortage of projects that have brought together music and the biological sciences. Most of these projects have allowed the biological data to dictate to a large extent the sound produced, for instance the translation of genome or protein sequences into musical phrases, and therefore may be regarded as process compositions. Here I describe a Bio-Music process composition that derives its biological input from a visual representation of the expression pattern of the gene fushi tarazu in the Drosophila embryo. An equivalent pattern is constructed from the Scambi portfolio of short electronic music fragments created by Henri Pousseur in the 1950s. This general form of the resulting electronic composition follows that of the fushi tarazu pattern, while satisfying the rules of the Scambi compositional framework devised by Pousseur. The range and flexibility of Scambi make it ideally suited to other Bio-Music projects wherever there is a requirement, or desire, to build larger sonic structures from small units.

(1951 © Ina/Maurice Lecardent, Ina GRM Archives) 42 EARLY HISTORY – PREDECESSORS AND PIONEERS A convergence of new technologies and a general cultural backlash against Old World arts and values made conditions favorable for the rise of electronic music in the years following World War II. Musical ideas that met with punishing repression and indiffer- ence prior to the war became less odious to a new generation of listeners who embraced futuristic advances of the atomic age. Prior to World War II, electronic music was anchored down by a reliance on live performance. Only a few composers—Varèse and Cage among them—anticipated the importance of the recording medium to the growth of electronic music. This chapter traces a technological transition from the turntable to the magnetic tape recorder as well as the transformation of electronic music from a medium of live performance to that of recorded media.

  • An Improvised Prelude-Conversation
    An Improvised Prelude-Conversation This is an edited transcript of an interview with Professor Henri Pousseur which took place on the veranda at his home in Waterloo, Belgium on 14th June, 2004 as part of the Scambi Project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The interviewers were Dr John Dack (the director of the project) of the Lansdown Centre for Electronic Art, Middlesex University and Dr Craig Ayrey of Goldsmiths College. Also present was Dr Mine Doantan-Dack of Middlesex University. References in square brackets are inserted where clarification is necessary. Professor Pousseur assisted us in the editing of the transcribed text. We are most grateful for his infinite patience in this matter. We are also grateful for his suggested title: An Improvised Prelude-Conversation. This was indeed the first meeting we had with Professor Pousseur and the breadth of subjects we were able to discuss, as well as the informal nature of the meeting is a tribute to his generosity and charm. Thus, this conversation was a true improvised prelude to the entire Scambi Project. John Dack: I became interested in Scambi in relation to open form. It strikes me as an extremely forward-thinking work, because although it is in open form, it seems that in some ways, the technology available at the time [1957] resisted that openness. Presumably, you had to splice the tape, whereas nowadays we just use sound files. Very few electroacoustic composers now work with open form for their concert works (even though they use it in gallery installations). This strikes me as a rather strange: although new technology enables open form, people dont seem to be interested in the open work as much as they used to be.
