And this year, we fully embrace this model through the ICMC-NYCEMF partnership! This year, we also continue our partnership with the New York University (NYU) Libraries formally launching the Electro-Acoustic Music Mine (EAMM) project where we have begun to archive compositions and installation works presented at last year’s conference. This year marks our second year that is also part of the larger Computer Music Heritage program we initiated in Daegu; and we hope that we will soon be able to share and provide access to the archives in the months to come. 6 A NOTE FROM THE INSTALLATION CHAIRS The artistic and musical field that is computer music is a We are incredibly excited for this year’s conference and vast one that defies boundaries, conventions, and the opportunity to present these installation works. We norms. Much of the music and art created in our hope everyone will take the time to experience these community is inappropriate for the concert hall, as it works, wander around the city to find them, and exceeds the confines of such a presentational space. congratulate the artists who composed them. Acknowledging this, the installation track of the International Computer Music Conference provides a Andrew Telichan Phillips place for these works – which otherwise defy the parameters of the concert hall – an opportunity for Michael Musick inclusion, presentation, and appreciation by our ICMC 2019 Installation Chairs community. It is both invigorating and challenging to assist in the presentation of an ICMC back in New York City. However, the regrettable reality of this track is that the INTERNET RADIO space restrictions of this city allowed for only a small number of the overall impressive set of submissions.

  • A Scene Without a Name: Indie Classical and American New Music in the Twenty-First Century
    A SCENE WITHOUT A NAME: INDIE CLASSICAL AND AMERICAN NEW MUSIC IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY William Robin A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Mark Katz Andrea Bohlman Mark Evan Bonds Tim Carter Benjamin Piekut © 2016 William Robin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT WILLIAM ROBIN: A Scene Without a Name: Indie Classical and American New Music in the Twenty-First Century (Under the direction of Mark Katz) This dissertation represents the first study of indie classical, a significant subset of new music in the twenty-first century United States. The definition of “indie classical” has been a point of controversy among musicians: I thus examine the phrase in its multiplicity, providing a framework to understand its many meanings and practices. Indie classical offers a lens through which to study the social: the web of relations through which new music is structured, comprised in a heterogeneous array of actors, from composers and performers to journalists and publicists to blog posts and music venues. This study reveals the mechanisms through which a musical movement establishes itself in American cultural life; demonstrates how intermediaries such as performers, administrators, critics, and publicists fundamentally shape artistic discourses; and offers a model for analyzing institutional identity and understanding the essential role of institutions in new music. Three chapters each consider indie classical through a different set of practices: as a young generation of musicians that constructed itself in shared institutional backgrounds and performative acts of grouping; as an identity for New Amsterdam Records that powerfully shaped the record label’s music and its dissemination; and as a collaboration between the ensemble yMusic and Duke University that sheds light on the twenty-first century status of the new-music ensemble and the composition PhD program.

The centrepiece is Hayden’s monumental 7-movement cycle, Becomings (Das Werden) I-VII (2016-18), the most recent work on the album and the most ambitious and demanding in terms of scale and sheer virtuosity. Becomings is accompanied by two shorter acoustic works, …still time… (1990) and Fragment (After Losses) (2003). Both of these earlier works reflect a diversity of post-war European modernist and American experimentalist influences and in different ways they can be seen as sowing the seeds for Becomings. Solo works for acoustic instruments as such have been relatively rare within Hayden’s output, and most of them are fairly recent, the result of close collaborations with specific performers who are interested in his brand of ‘complexity’. Other notable examples include attente (2018-19) for solo flute, written for Ine Vanoeveren, remnants (2018-19) for solo contrabass clarinet, written for Richard Haynes, and AXE[S] (1997) for solo guitar, written for Mats Scheidegger somewhat earlier in Hayden’s career.

An interrogation of the term leads to an investigation of the composer-performer and performer-performer relationships, of the multifarious models for fruitful collaborative (and non-collaborative) partnerships, of authorship issues and of what might motivate us to embark upon collaboration at all. Are collaborative projects necessarily better/enriching/more innovative? What might we be sacrificing when we idealize collaborative partnerships? Does collaboration lead to an eQuitable sharing of the cultural capital?

  • Music Programme Notes
    Music Programme Notes Society for Music Analysis Autumn Study Day Saturday 25 November 2006 Department of Music, University of Sussex S M A in association with ABSTRACTS KEYNOTE Ian Pace. Cardiff University The Marxist Programme Note: The logic of the supplement in the textual accompaniment Composers of the radical left have frequently sought to be true to their political ideals in the music they write, even abstract instrumental music. This paper considers how, in view of the abstraction and ambiguity of the music, such composers have sought to reduce some level of semantic unspecificity through the use of programme notes, and examines how they relate to the music itself and likely perceptions. Examples will be taken from the work of Cornelius Cardew, Frederic Rzewski, Luigi Nono, Nicolaus A. Huber and Richard Barrett. Presenting the notion of music + programme note as a type of 'multi-media' work (and suggesting that perhaps all music should be viewed in such a way), the paper will attempt a dialectical mediation between the view that accompanying text serves a positive function in challenging ideological assumptions that accompany classical concert-going on one hand, and a type of neo-Adornian view of the progressive political value of attempts to strive for a degree of artistic 'autonomy' on the other. It will also contain some critical perspectives, from a Marxist position distinct from Barrett's own, on the note for 'No'. PROGRAMME NOTES FOR CONTEMPORARY MUSIC Gordon Downie, University of the West of England Cultural Production as Self-surveillance: making the right impression. Employing analytical perspectives drawn from conformity theory, impression management, and Marxist critical-theoretic psychology and anthropology, the content of programme notes written by active composers will be analysed with a view to identifying the extent to which such documents, in collaboration with the product they seek to explicate, function to signal the subject's behavioural and attitudinal submission to the prevailing orthodoxy of commodity form.

  • PARALLAX05 Trinity Laban Composers at the Institute of Contemporary Arts
    PARALLAX05 Trinity Laban composers at the Institute of Contemporary Arts Curator: Sam Hayden Trinity Laban Contemporary Music Group Conductor: Gregory Rose Fri 6 Feb, 19.30h Installations from 18.00 ICA PARALLAX05 Trinity Laban Composers at the ICA This project is the 5th in a series of performances whose theme renders the idea of the "parallax" — the separation of two points between which no synthesis or mediation is possible — in musical form. The idea of the event was to juxtapose compositions where no common ground is possible. Yet it is precisely via the dialectical tension of such work that new syntheses become possible. Trinity Laban research student and staff composers were invited to submit pieces according to radically different traditions characterised by either a deconstruction of instruments or ensembles into timbre and noise, or a more harmonic approach in which the ensemble is treated as a more sonorous whole, perhaps following concepts often associated with minimalism or neo-classicism. The evening will consist of a live concert in the Theatre (from 7.30pm) featuring performances of compositions for acoustic instruments performed by the Trinity Laban Contemporary Music Group (CMG), including diverse combinations of improvisational, electroacoustic and theatrical approaches. In addition, sound installation pieces, including fixed-media electroacoustic works and live electronic performances, will run continuously from 6.00pm in the café area outside the auditorium.

  • Le Grain De La Voix
    le grain de la voix Ein Projekt von canto battuto in Zusammenarbeit mit blablabor Stand 14. November 2008 projekt Nach dem Musiktheaterprojekt im delta der wörter (2006/07) plant canto battuto ein weiteres Projekt zum Thema Sprache für den Herbst/Winter 2008. Im Delta-Projekt lag der Fokus auf dem Spiel mit einzelnen Wörtern, deren Bedeutungen, Klangqualitäten und Ordnungsmöglichkeiten. Die Arbeit auf einer Theaterbühne erlaubte uns darüber hinaus eine Visualisierung und Verräumlichung von Ideen und Strukturen; Klänge wurden zu Gängen und Plätzen. In le grain de la voix (auf Deutsch „Die Körnung der Stimme“) steht der physisch-direkte Ausdruck sowohl der Stimme als auch des Schlagzeugs im Zentrum, allerdings diesmal nicht in einer theatral- visuellen, sondern einer akustisch auslotenden Ausrichtung: Ziel für den Hörer ist nicht die Klarheit der Botschaften, sondern die Verknüpfung von Körper und Sprache; eine „Stereophonie der Sinnlichkeit, die einem die Rauheit der Kehle, die Patina der Konsonanten, die Wonne der Vokale“ hören lässt (Barthes). Bewährt hat sich ausserdem die Paarung zweier zwar höchst unterschiedlicher, aber durch einen gemeinsamen thematischen Fokus verbundenen Werke. Diese Vorgehensweise wollen wir im neuen Projekt le grain de la voix beibehalten: Eine ausgedehnte Komposition des Engländers Sam Hayden rund um Texte des französischen Literaturkritikers, Schriftstellers, Philosophen und Semiotikers Roland Barthes kombinieren wir mit einem installativen Werk des radiophonischen Forschungsduos blablabor. Beide Werke entstehen
