    Electronic Music Production Methods Musical Electronic Hardware Instruments in Album Pro- duction Process Otto Kouvonen Bachelor’s thesis April 2019 Media and Arts Music Production 2 ABSTRACT Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu Tampere University of Applied Sciences Degree Programme in Media and Arts Music Production KOUVONEN, OTTO: Electronic Music Production Methods Musical Electronic Hardware Instruments in Album Production Process Bachelor's thesis 45 pages, appendices 1 page April 2019 The thesis was done to explore the possibilities of musical electronic hardware instruments in album making process. The development of electronic sound shaping techniques and voltage controlled synthesizers revolutionized the way of making music and sound. It has greatly affected the soundscape and working methods of the modern music. Author’s goal was to research the efficiency of the working methods and instruments during process and observe how the different devices, composing and sound design methods affected the end product and creativity. The conclusion is based on understanding the instruments their possi- bilities used in a project, through observations, experiences and the end result. The album making process revealed strengths and weaknesses of the instru- ments and their effect on the end result and creativity. Author explored working methods of the electronic music making and sound design with hardware instru- ments. The instruments and working methods they enabled, turned out to be re- ally inspiring and helped the author to create unique sound design and composi- tions on the album. The possibilities of content creation and randomization with hardware instruments offered an alternative way of making music. The interaction with the different musical devices and interfaces affected the end result and de- cisions made during the project.

  • Portfolio of Compositions
    Portfolio of Compositions Radoslaw Rudnicki PhD University of York Music March 2012 Abstract This portfolio presents seven projects that use improvisation as source material for subsequent electronic music. Fixed media pieces including music for film, contemporary dance as well as two albums are included. Furthermore, recordings of live performance works where improvisation was controlled via compositions, loop- based material, custom-made software tools and hardware devices are presented in the folio. The commentary explains the methods used in the projects and shows them in a wider context of other artists’ work. It describes the creative usage of technology in the pieces presented in the folio. Also, the examination of visual elements as a guide for improvisation is discussed in relation to each project. ii List of Contents Abstract ii List of Contents iii List of Figures iv List of Submitted Projects v Acknowledgments vi Author's Declaration vii Aims 1 Introduction and Aesthetics 1 Improvisation as Source Material and Its Relation to Found Sound 3 Dance Pieces (2008-2009) 6 Cinematic Project (2009-2011) 10 Aquatusz (2010) 11 Synthesis (2010) 13 Electricity (2010) 16 Freeform (2010) 17 Space Fight (2011) 19 Future Work and Evolution of Current Projects 22 Appendix 24 Resource List 28 iii List of Figures Figure 1 Types of piece presented in the folio. ................................................................................. 1 Figure 2 Project development working ............................................................................................. 2 Figure 3 Roots-Dance-Poetry – rehearsal at NSCD in Leeds, 2009. ................................................ 7 Figure 4 Sketch of Roots-Dance-Poetry structure (Flex, Izzy, Janice, Liz, Heather – dancers) ....... 9 Figure 5 Visualisations for Aquatusz – rehearsal, 2010 .................................................................. 12 Figure 6 Synthesis – showing circle size and colors related to dynamics and density required .....

    Issue 06 – 2017 Journal –Peer Reviewed JAMES NEWMAN Bath Spa University, FHEA [email protected] Driving the SID chip Assembly Language, Composition, and Sound Design for the C64 ABSTRACT The MOS6581, more commonly known as the Sound Interface Device, or SID chip, was the sonic heart of the Commodore 64 home computer. By consider- ing the chip’s development, specifcation, uses and creative abuses by composers and programmers, alongside its continuing legacy, this paper argues that, more than any other device, the SID chip is responsible for shaping the sound of videogame music. Compared with the brutal atonality of chips such as Atari’s TIA, the SID chip ofers a complex 3-channel synthesizer with dynamic wave- form selection, per-channel ADSR envelopes, multi-mode flter, ring and cross modulation. However, while the specifcation is sophisticated, the exploitation of the vagaries and imperfections of the chip are just as signifcant to its sonic character. As such, the compositional, sound design and programming tech- niques developed by 1980s composer-coders like Rob Hubbard and Martin Galway are central in defning the distinctive sound of C64 gameplay. Explor- ing the afordances of the chip and the distinctive ways they were harnessed, the argument of this paper centers on the inexorable link between the tech- nological and the musical. Crucially, composers like Hubbard et al. developed their own bespoke low-level drivers to interface with the SID chip to create pseudo-polyphony through rapid arpeggiation and channel sharing, drum syn- thesis through waveform manipulation, portamento, and even sample playback. This paper analyses the indivisibility of sound design, synthesis and composi- tion in the birth of these musical forms and aesthetics, and assesses their impact on what would go on to be defned as chiptunes.
