    Digital Developments 70’s - 80’s Hybrid Synthesis “GROOVE” • In 1967, Max Mathews and Richard Moore at Bell Labs began to develop Groove (Generated Realtime Operations on Voltage- Controlled Equipment) • In 1970, the Groove system was unveiled at a “Music and Technology” conference in Stockholm. • Groove was a hybrid system which used a Honeywell DDP224 computer to store manual actions (such as twisting knobs, playing a keyboard, etc.) These actions were stored and used to control analog synthesis components in realtime. • Composers Emmanuel Gent and Laurie Spiegel worked with GROOVE Details of GROOVE GROOVE System included: - 2 large disk storage units - a tape drive - an interface for the analog devices (12 8-bit and 2 12-bit converters) - A cathode ray display unit to show the composer a visual representation of the control instructions - Large array of analog components including 12 voltage-controlled oscillators, seven voltage-controlled amplifiers, and two voltage-controlled filters Programming language used: FORTRAN Benefits of the GROOVE System: - 1st digitally controlled realtime system - Musical parameters could be controlled over time (not note-oriented) - Was used to control images too: In 1974, Spiegel used the GROOVE system to implement the program VAMPIRE (Video and Music Program for Interactive, Realtime Exploration) • Laurie Spiegel at the GROOVE Console at Bell Labs (mid 70s) The 1st Digital Synthesizer “The Synclavier” • In 1972, composer Jon Appleton, the Founder and Director of the Bregman Electronic Music Studio at Dartmouth wanted to find a way to control a Moog synthesizer with a computer • He raised this idea to Sydney Alonso, a professor of Engineering at Dartmouth and Cameron Jones, a student in music and computer science at Dartmouth.

  • Battles Around New Music in New York in the Seventies
    Presenting the New: Battles around New Music in New York in the Seventies A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Joshua David Jurkovskis Plocher IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY David Grayson, Adviser December 2012 © Joshua David Jurkovskis Plocher 2012 i Acknowledgements One of the best things about reaching the end of this process is the opportunity to publicly thank the people who have helped to make it happen. More than any other individual, thanks must go to my wife, who has had to put up with more of my rambling than anybody, and has graciously given me half of every weekend for the last several years to keep working. Thank you, too, to my adviser, David Grayson, whose steady support in a shifting institutional environment has been invaluable. To the rest of my committee: Sumanth Gopinath, Kelley Harness, and Richard Leppert, for their advice and willingness to jump back in on this project after every life-inflicted gap. Thanks also to my mother and to my kids, for different reasons. Thanks to the staff at the New York Public Library (the one on 5th Ave. with the lions) for helping me track down the SoHo Weekly News microfilm when it had apparently vanished, and to the professional staff at the New York Public Library for Performing Arts at Lincoln Center, and to the Fales Special Collections staff at Bobst Library at New York University. Special thanks to the much smaller archival operation at the Kitchen, where I was assisted at various times by John Migliore and Samara Davis.

  • Kalvos & Damian: the Car Guys of New Music
    “Kalvos & Damian: The Car Guys of New Music” A Presentation to the Colloquium at Wesleyan University, March 29, 2018 Dennis Báthory-Kitsz From 1995 to 2008, two composers going by the pseudonyms “Kalvos” and “Damian” hosted an eponymous radio show. It became the first new music show online in the U.S., where they interviewed more than 350 composers in the studio and on road trips, set up 48 on-air concerts including a full opera with a cast of 40, arranged the first trans- Atlantic internet/radio simulcast between Vermont and the Netherlands, put on a major new music festival with 37 concerts in one weekend, held a two-day international composer combat, and won international recognition including the prestigious ASCAP/Deems Taylor Award—and they did it entirely on small contributions and by a wacky, seat-of-their-pants imagination. And in 2010, they disappeared after 560 programs. Who were they? Why did they do it? What happened to them? Here is the story of “Kalvos & Damian”—the “Car Guys” of new music. Kalvos & Damian’s New Music Bazaar BACKGROUND—BECAUSE THINGS ARE SO COMPLICATED Background on us: David Gunn and I are both lifelong composers. We always took our work seriously, but not our attitudes toward new art and music and its pretensions. I was Project Director for an arts group in Trenton, New Jersey, that gave concerts and festivals of unusual material, from 1973-1978. The largest was the Delaware Valley Festival of the Avant-Garde, modeled after Charlotte Moorman’s annual New York Avant-Garde Festival, where I had played every year.

  • Experiments in Sound and Electronic Music in Koenig Books Isbn 978-3-86560-706-5 Early 20Th Century Russia · Andrey Smirnov
    SOUND IN Z Russia, 1917 — a time of complex political upheaval that resulted in the demise of the Russian monarchy and seemingly offered great prospects for a new dawn of art and science. Inspired by revolutionary ideas, artists and enthusiasts developed innumerable musical and audio inventions, instruments and ideas often long ahead of their time – a culture that was to be SOUND IN Z cut off in its prime as it collided with the totalitarian state of the 1930s. Smirnov’s account of the period offers an engaging introduction to some of the key figures and their work, including Arseny Avraamov’s open-air performance of 1922 featuring the Caspian flotilla, artillery guns, hydroplanes and all the town’s factory sirens; Solomon Nikritin’s Projection Theatre; Alexei Gastev, the polymath who coined the term ‘bio-mechanics’; pioneering film maker Dziga Vertov, director of the Laboratory of Hearing and the Symphony of Noises; and Vladimir Popov, ANDREY SMIRNO the pioneer of Noise and inventor of Sound Machines. Shedding new light on better-known figures such as Leon Theremin (inventor of the world’s first electronic musical instrument, the Theremin), the publication also investigates the work of a number of pioneers of electronic sound tracks using ‘graphical sound’ techniques, such as Mikhail Tsekhanovsky, Nikolai Voinov, Evgeny Sholpo and Boris Yankovsky. From V eavesdropping on pianists to the 23-string electric guitar, microtonal music to the story of the man imprisoned for pentatonic research, Noise Orchestras to Machine Worshippers, Sound in Z documents an extraordinary and largely forgotten chapter in the history of music and audio technology.

    RECONSIDERING THE MODEL LISTENER: AN EXPLORATION IN THE CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF ELECTROACOUSTIC MUSIC By TRAVIS GARRISON A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2013 1 © 2013 Travis Garrison 2 To my family 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am thankful for the assistance, guidance, and mentorship given by my chair, James Paul Sain throughout this process. Additionally, I am thankful for the contributions of the many teachers who have contributed to my musical and scholarly growth over the past years: Jon Appleton, Charles Dodge, Paul Koonce, Chris Mercer, Peter Otto, Larry Polansky, Miller Puckette, and Paul Richards. Special thanks go to Steven Takasugi for his willingness to help me understand early on what being a composer is all about; I would have likely followed a very different career path were it not for his mentorship a decade ago. Additional thanks to Silvio dos Santos and Margaret Butler for their assistance as my work branched into broader musicological concerns, and to my friends in Gainesville for helping me to remain sane over the past few years. And finally to Sarah, for her support and love. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .................................................................................................. 4 LIST OF TABLES ............................................................................................................ 7 LIST OF FIGURES .........................................................................................................
