In Reich’s textless vocal writing, the voices turned to the use of recorded speech in Come Out are not soloists, but part of the overall texture of and It’s Gonna Rain, and thereby could use speech the piece. The vocal writing is for the music’s rhythms honestly; in a recording of someone sake, not for the voice’s. speaking, the secondary quality of text setting is avoided.

  • Week 5 1761 - “The Electric Harpsicord” - Instrumental Aspect of Electronic Music
    fpa 147 Week 5 1761 - “The Electric Harpsicord” - instrumental aspect of electronic music. Does not always include the more esoteric and philosophical nature of the form - sometimes it’s about new timbres, expediency (like the organ in radio soundtracks, etc.) and other cultural shifts (attention to space in the 60’s). "Galvanic music" 1837 Dr. Page, Salem Mass., purely electrical sound generation: coils close to magnets induce a tone related to the number of turns in the coils "Singing arc" 1899 William Dudel, carbon arc whistles modulated with an electrical coil & capacitor. A keyboard was added later. "Telharmonium" 1906 Thaddeus Cahill, New York Large (several box cars, 200 tons in weight) instrument using large spinning turbines; specifically cogged wheels that induced a frequency related to the number of poles and the speed. Each turbine had an integer multiple of the cogs on it so each harmonic was available for mixing to create the diferent timbres. Since there was no means as yet for electrical amplification, the individual turbines (there was 5 octaves worth driven by a 200 hp motor) were mixed in large iron core transformers. The instrument was controlled by a thirty-six note per octave keyboard which was difcult for one performer to play. The sound was distributed to subscribers over the phone system. "Theremin" 1919 Leo Theremin, Soviet Union A device with two sensors or antenna: One for amplitude and the other for pitch Léon Theremin (born Lev Sergeyevich Termen;Russian: Ле́в Серге́евич Терме́н) (27 August [O.S. 15 August] 1896 – 3 November 1993) was a Russianand Soviet inventor.
