Welcome to ACM Multimedia '96 Special Events Conference-at-a-Glance Ongoing Events Courses Technical Papers Panels Registration Course Selections Hotels Conference Organization Welcome to ACM Multimedia '96 In what seems in retrospect to have been an astonishingly short time, multimedia has progressed from a technically- challenging curiosity to an essential feature of most computer systems -- both professional and consumer. Accordingly, leading-edge research in multimedia no longer is confined to dealing with processing or information- access bottlenecks, but addresses the ever-broadening ways in which the technology is changing and improving interpersonal communication, professional practice, entertainment, the arts, education, and community life. This year's program emphasizes this trend: off-the-shelf building blocks are now available to construct useful and appealing applications which are highlighted in the Demonstration and Art venues. In addition to the full complement of panels, courses, and workshops, the conference program features a distinguished set of technical papers. Keynotes will be provided by Glenn Hall, the Technical Director of Aardman Animations whose work includes Wallace and Gromit; and Professor Bill Buxton of the University of Toronto and Alias | Wavefront Inc.

  • Robert Ashley the Old Man Lives in Concrete
    Joan La Barbara – composer / performer / sound artist – explores the human voice as a multi-faceted instrument, expanding traditional boundaries in composition, using a unique vocabulary of experimental and extended vocal techniques – multiphonics, circular singing, ululation and glottal clicks – that have become her “signature sounds.” Awards include a 2008 American Music Center Letter of Distinction, a Guggenheim Fellowship in Music Composition, DAAD Artist-in- Residency in Berlin, seven NEA grants and numerous commissions for concert, theater and radio works. La Barbara has created sound scores for film, video and dance and produced twelve recordings of her own works, including Voice Is the Original Instrument, a double CD of her historical compositions for Lovely Music. 73 Poems, her collaboration with text-artist Kenneth Goldsmith, was included in “The American ROBERT ASHLEY Century Part II: SoundWorks” at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Messa di Voce, an interactive media performance work created in THE OLD MAN LIVES IN CONCRETE collaboration with Jaap Blonk, Golan Levin and Zachary Lieberman, premiered to acclaim at Ars Electronica 2003. La Barbara teaches Music and libretto composition at NYU and is working on a new opera. ROBERT ASHLEY Singers David Moodey has designed for and toured with Molissa Fenley and Dancers since 1986. His design for Fenley’s State of Darkness earned SAM ASHLEY, THOMAS BUCKNER, JACQUELINE HUMBERT, him a Bessie award for lighting design.

    JOAN LA BARBARA’S EARLY EXPLORATIONS OF THE VOICE by Samara Ripley B.Mus., Mount Allison University, 2014 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2016 © Samara Ripley, 2016 Abstract Experimental composer and performer Joan La Barbara treats the voice as a musical instrument. Through improvisation, she has developed an array of signature sounds, or extended vocal techniques, that extend the voice beyond traditional conceptions of Western classical singing. At times, her signature sounds are primal and unfamiliar, drawing upon extreme vocal registers and multiple simultaneous pitches. In 2003, La Barbara released Voice is the Original Instrument, a two-part album that comprises a selection of her earliest works from 1974 – 1980. The compositions on this album reveal La Barbara’s experimental approach to using the voice. Voice Piece: One-Note Internal Resonance Investigation explores the timbral palette within a single pitch. Circular Song plays with the necessity of a singer’s breath by vocalizing, and therefore removing, all audible inhalations and exhalations. Hear What I Feel brings the sense of touch into an improvisatory composition and performance experience. In October Music: Star Showers and Extraterrestrials, La Barbara moves past experimentation and layers her different sounds into a cohesive piece of music. This thesis is a study of La Barbara’s treatment of the voice in these four early works. I will frame my discussion with theories of the acousmatic by Mladen Dolar and Brian Kane and will also draw comparisons with Helmut Lachnemann’s musique concrète instrumentale works.
