  • LA MUSICA D'avanguardia (Provenienza Sconosciuta
    LA MUSICA D’AVANGUARDIA (provenienza sconosciuta!!) Presentazione Questo volume si propone di fornire una panoramica, la piu' aggiornata possibile, sui fenomeni musicali che esulano dalle correnti tradizionali del rock, del jazz e della classica, e che rappresentano in senso lato l'attuale "avanguardia". In tal senso l'avanguardia, piu' che un movimento monolitico e omogeneo, appare come una federazione piu' o meno aperta di tante scuole diverse e separate. Alcune costituiscono la cosiddetta "contemporanea" (capitoli 1-7), figlia dell'avanguardia classica; altre sono scaturite della sperimentazione dei complessi rock (capitoli 8-10); altre ancora appartengono al nuovo jazz, e non fanno altro che legittimare una volta per tutte il jazz nel novero della musica "intellettuale" (capitoli 11-13); la new age, infine, sfrutta le suggestioni delle scuole precedenti (capitoli 14-17). Piuttosto che un'introduzione generale ci sembra allora piu' opportuno fornire una presentazione capitolo per capitolo: 1. L'avanguardia popolare. Per avanguardia si intendeva un tempo soltanto l'avanguardia classica. A dimostrazione di come i tempi siano cambiati, questo libro e' in gran parte dedicato a musicisti che hanno le loro origini nel rock, nel jazz o nella new age. In questo primo capitolo ci proponiamo di fornire una panoramica storica sulla nascita dei movimenti musicali che hanno introdotto le novita' armoniche, acustiche, ideologiche su cui speculano tuttora gli sperimentatori moderni. Ci premeva anche trasmettere la sensazione che esista una qualche continuita' fra i lavori di Varese e Stockhausen (per citarne due particolarmente famosi) e i protagonisti di questo libro. 2. Minimalismo. La scuola minimalista degli anni Settanta era chiaramente delimitata.

    Înv ăţământ, Cercetare, Creaţie (Education, Research, Creation) Volume I AMBIENT MUSIC Author: Assistant Lecturer Phd. Iliana VELESCU Ovidius University Constanta Faculty of Arts Abstract: Artistic exploration period of the early 20th century draws two new directions in art history called Dadaism and Futurism. Along with the painters and writers who begin to manifest in these artistic directions, is distinguished composers whose works are focused on producing electronic, electric and acoustic sounds. Music gets a strong minimalist and concrete experimental type, evolving in different genres including the ambient music. Keywords: ambient music, minimalism, experimental music Ambient music is a derivative genre of electronic music known as background music developed from traditional musical structures, and generally focuses on timbre sound and creating a specific sound field. The origins of this music are found in the early 20th century, shortly before and after the First World War. This period of exploration and rejection of what was classical and traditionally gave birth of two artistic currents called in art history, Dadaism and Futurism. Along with painters and writers manifested in these artistic directions were distinguished experimental musician such as Francesco Balilla Pratella, Kurt Schwitters and Erwin Schulhoff. This trend has had a notable influence in Erik Satie works which consider this music as „music of furniture” (Musique d'ameublement) and proper to create a suitable background during dinner rather than serving as the focus of attention1. The experimental trend has evolved at the same time with the „music that surrounds us” which start to delimitated the cosmic sounds, nature sounds, and sound objects - composers being attracted by sound exploring in microstructure and macrostructure level through the emergence and improvement of acoustic laboratories or electronic music studios as well as Iannis Xenakis, Pierre Boulez, Karl Stockausen.

  • THE NEURONIUM HISTORY 1977-2018: 41 Years of ELECTRONIC MUSIC by MICHEL HUYGEN
    THE NEURONIUM HISTORY 1977-2018: 41 years of ELECTRONIC MUSIC by MICHEL HUYGEN MICHEL HUYGEN, synthesist, creates NEURONlUM in 1976. He records in 1977 for the English label EMI- HARVEST , the first album of NEURONIUM entitled QUASAR 2C361, also being the first disc of cosmic music ever recorded in Spain . Neuronium is then formed by Michel Huygen, Carlos Guirao and Albert Jiménez. In 1978, NEURONIUM records a second album titled VUELO QUIMlCO, also for HARVEST , with the extraordinary participation of NlCO, then ex singer of the LOU REED´s band , THE VELVET UNDERGROUND. Several important concerts: Plaza de Toros de Benidorm, Teatro Martín de Madrid, Palacio de los Deportes de Bilbao (with a great success, by the way) , and in the football stadium of Barakaldo in front of 11,000 people. The 7 of May 1978, NEURONIUM participates in the Festival of Science Fiction of Metz (France), representing Spain. In 1980, NEURONIUM leaves HARVEST and decides to record with Auvi . DIGITAL DREAM is the first album of NEURONIUM in its new company , as a duo of keyboard players, Michel and Carlos ,with the contribution of a new guitarist called SANTI PICÓ. In February of 1981, NEURONIUM records its new album THE VlSlTOR, a new step forward and simultaneously different in the style of the band . In March of 1981, the group travels for the first time to London, invited by VANGELlS, in order to perform together music composed by Michel Huygen, for a show of television, filmed by Spanish Television for its program MUSICAL EXPRESS. The result is really amazing and the symbiosis is total between both styles and sounds.

In 1975 Palo Alto guitarist William Ackerman (1) coined the term "new- age music" and founded a record label, Windham Hill, to promote atmospheric instrumental acoustic music. New-age music was thus born as a reaction to rock music. Rock music was loud and noisy, expressing a teenage spirit. New-age music was quiet and melodic, expressing an adult mood. New-age music had no vocalist, no drums and no electric guitar. New-age music was, first and foremost, a synthesis. It was a synthesis of cultures (high and low), moods (upbeat, ecstatic, melancholy, spiritual), genres (folk, electronic, jazz, classical, psychedelic), formats (song, symphony, suite, jam) and lifestyles (western and eastern). Since each of these components had existed for decades (if not centuries), new-age music pre-existed itself. The most obvious ancestor of new-age music is classical music itself. Despite the aristocratic way it was presented in the symphony halls and opera houses, classical music had included "mood" instrumental music from the very beginning.

Todd Barton Kevin Fortune Darrel Johansen Doug Lynner Ken Stone Paul Young 2 of 262 INTRODUCTION ABOUT THIS MANUAL This manual is an instruction and users manual for the Euro-Serge Modular Synthesizer. It is intended to serve two purposes: 1. A self-tutorial instruction manual for those who have never used a synthesizer before and for those who have used a synthesizer, but not a Euro-Serge, before. 2. A User's Reference Manual and Guide that provides information on how to use each module, how to interconnect modules to produce certain effects and how to interconnect the Euro-Serge with other devices. This manual is arranged into the following sections: The Introduction Self-Teaching Patches #1 The Theory of Electronic Music Self-Teaching Patches #2 System Modules So What Does It Sound Like? Euro-Serge Catalogue Appendices If you have never used a synthesizer before it is strongly suggested that you read ‘The Introduction’ and ‘Self-Teaching Patches #1’ sections, working out the patches as you go. If you are confused at this point, don't worry, keep going. These exercises will give you the basis for understanding the explanations in subsequent chapters. If you have used a synthesizer, but not a Euro-Serge, the patches worked through in ‘Self-Teaching Patches #2’ provide a good working knowledge of the basic modules of the Euro-Serge. If you are already familiar with the Serge/Euro-Serge system, specific information on the different modules and how to patch them together can be found in the sections ‘Self-Teaching Patches #2 and ‘System Modules.
