South Australia Section Best Known Location: Broadbent Residence Macclesfield Rod Blackmore’s AUSTRALASIAN THEATRE ORGANS South Australia section Best known location: Broadbent residence Macclesfield Fotoplayer Style 50 (8 pipe ranks) with additions Originally installed in DeLuxe Theatre, Melbourne, Victoria, 1915-22; briefly transferred to Hoyts theatres in Canterbury and Richmond (Melbourne); sold to Glenelg (later Seaview) Theatre, Adelaide, South Australia 1926; sold to Alf Broadbent of Macclesfield, S.A. 1959, rebuilt and extended to 2 manuals & maybe 20 ranks on his property; acquired by Barclay Wright of Mastertouch Piano Roll Company, Sydney 1975; donated to Powerhouse Alf Broadbent’s extended style 50 Fotoplayer installation, Macclesfield Museum, Sydney (Castle Hill facility) 2006. Glenelg is on the seaside, 10 km southwest of the Adelaide city C.B.D., and among other features is connected to Adelaide by a historic tramway. Glenelg is also the site of the proclamation of South Australia in 1836. The Glenelg Theatre opened in 1917; it was reconstructed and reopened in 1936, and later renamed as the Seaview Theatre – closing in 1959 to become a bowling alley, and demolished in 1999. Macclesfield is a rural town 40 km southeast of Adelaide C.B.D. Here Alf Broadbent had his property including a large barn. The Mastertouch Piano Roll Company (founded 1919) had premises in Sydney, New South Wales, including a former Christian Science church at suburban Petersham, and later a former fire station at Stanmore. The business finally closed in 2005 and donated much of its music roll artefacts to the Powerhouse Museum, they being currently held in the museum’s secondary storage facility in the northwestern suburb of Castle Hill. The Style 50 Fotoplayer (manufactured by the American Photoplayer Company, a division of the Robert Morton Organ Company) was the largest of these instruments, specifically designed for the accompaniment of silent movies. It comprises a central cabinet with a player piano, and on either side large cabinets contain organ pipes, reeds, and a series of effects. This particular instrument was first installed in the DeLuxe Theatre, Melbourne (Victoria) from 1915 to 1922 (being replaced by a 2/7 WurliTzer theatre organ, opus 359). After brief periods in Hoyts theatres in suburban Canterbury and Richmond it was sold to the Glenelg Theatre (above) in 1926. Alf Broadbent bought the instrument in 1959 when the then Seaview Theatre ceased showing films, and installed it in the large barn on his property, taking over 10 years to restore and extend it with additional home-made pipe ranks and a 2-manual organ console. Broadbent died in 1974 and Barclay Wright of the Mastertouch Piano Roll Company in Sydney (New South Wales) acquired the instrument in 1975 to add to his collection of mechanical musical instruments at his Petersham factory. The Mastertouch business closed down in 2005 and a collection of items including the Style 50 Fotoplayer was donated to the Sydney Powerhouse Museum, being housed in that museum’s secondary storage facility at suburban Castle Hill. The extensions/additions to the original Fotoplayer The original specification of the Style 50 Fotoplayer made by Alf Broadbent at Macclesfield are said to included: Pipe ranks: Open Diapason, Flute d’Amour, have taken the instrument to a possible 20 ranks of Viole d’Orchestre, Vox Mystica, Flute, Gemshorn, Cornet pipes.

  • Marquetry on Drawer-Model Marionette Duo-Art
    Marquetry on Drawer-Model Marionette Duo-Art This piano began life as a brown Recordo. The sound board was re-engineered, as the original ribs tapered so soon that the bass bridges pushed through. The strings were the wrong weight, and were re-scaled using computer technology. Six more wound-strings were added, and the weights of the steel strings were changed. A 14-inch Duo-Art pump, a fan-expression system, and an expression-valve-size Duo-Art stack with a soft-pedal compensation lift were all built for it. The Marquetry on the side of the piano was inspired by the pictures on the Arto-Roll boxes. The fallboard was inspired by a picture on the Rhythmodic roll box. A new bench was built, modeled after the bench originally available, but veneered to go with the rest of the piano.

  • A Nickel for Music in the Early 1900'S
    A Nickel for Music in the Early 1900’s © 2015 Rick Crandall Evolution of the American Orchestrion Leading to the Coinola SO “Super Orchestrion” The Genesis of Mechanical Music The idea of automatic musical devices can be traced back many centuries. The use of pinned barrels to operate organ pipes and percussion mechanisms (such as striking bells in a clock) was perfected long before the invention of the piano. These devices were later extended to operate music boxes, using a set of tuned metal teeth plucked by a rotating pinned cylinder or a perforated metal disc. Then pneumatically- controlled machines programmed from a punched paper roll became a new technology platform that enabled a much broader range of instrumentation and expression. During the period 1910 to 1925 the sophistication of automatic music instruments ramped up dramatically proving the great scalability of pneumatic actions and the responsiveness of air pressure and vacuum. Usually the piano was at the core but on larger machines a dozen or more additional instruments were added and controlled from increasingly complicated music rolls. An early example is the organ. The power for the notes is provided by air from a bellows, and the player device only has to operate a valve to control the available air. Internal view of the Coinola SO “orchestrion,” the For motive most instrumented of all American-made machines. power the Photo from The Golden Age of Automatic Instruments early ©2001 Arthur A. Reblitz, used with permission. instruments were hand -cranked and the music “program” was usually a pinned barrel. The 'player' device became viable in the 1870s.

The technological boom during and following the Second World War provided composers with a new wave of electronic devices that put a wealth of new, truly twentieth-century sounds at their disposal. Percussionists, by virtue of their longstanding relationship to new sounds and their ability to decipher complex parts for a bewildering variety of instruments, have been a favored recipient of what has become known as electroacoustic music.

  • Mechanical Instruments and Phonography: the Recording Angel of Historiography”, Radical Musicology, No Prelo
    Silva, João, “Mechanical instruments and phonography: The Recording Angel of historiography”, Radical Musicology, no prelo. Mechanical instruments and phonography: The Recording Angel of historiography This article strives to examine the established historical narrative concerning music recording. For that purpose it will concentrate on the phonographic era of acoustic recording (from 1877 to the late 1920s), a period when several competing technologies for capturing and registering sound and music were being incorporated in everyday life. Moreover, it will analyse the significant chronological overlap of analogue and digital media and processes of recording, thus adding a layer of complexity to the current historical narratives regarding that activity. In order to address that set of events, this work will mainly recur to the work of both Walter Benjamin and Slavoj Žižek. Benjamin’s insight as an author that bore witness to and analysed the processes of commodification that were operating in the period in which this article concerns is essential in a discussion that focuses on aspects such as modernity, technology, and history. Furthermore, his work on history presents a space in which to address and critique the notion of historicism as an operation that attempts to impose a narrative continuity to the fragmentary categories of existence within modernity, a stance this article will develop when analysing the historiography of music and sound recording. The work of Žižek is especially insightful in tracing a distinction between historicism

  • The Big Picture - Welte’S Instruments, Rolls, Recording, Digital Editing
    The big picture - Welte’s instruments, rolls, recording, digital editing by David Rumsey The Welte Philharmonie - or Philharmonic to most English-speakers - was an ingenious musical instrument. Its origins lay in both the pneumatics and acoustics of the ancient Greeks, to say nothing of their mechanics, hydraulics or music. In the 20th century, both the “Phil”, as it is affectionately known in some circles, and aeronautical engineering, brought human arts and sciences of using air to their zenith. Pneumatic organ actions were then transformed to electric actions although there was a later reaction back to mechanics. For the aviation industry it was seminal: aircraft now replaced steam engines and organs as the most complex technology known to civilisation. The many ages and stages between the ancient Greeks, and Welte’s early 20th century automatic instruments, produced a train of incremental invention. Each epoch found ways of making organs play and sound the way it wanted them to. That changed with every new aesthetic from gothic, renaissance, baroque, “neo- classical” late 18th century, through the romantic era and on to a second, “neo- classical” phase, in the 20th century. It differed from country to country, culture to culture, even language to language: whether French, German, Italian, English or Netherlands, organs were also expressions of national ethos. By the early 19th century, the means of controlling the aesthetic qualities of organ pipes had long been established by empirical means: if it sounded good, then that was the way it was done. Sounding good, of course, differed according to Welte’s original proposal for the appearance of whether you were a medieval Britannic’s Philharmonie on board Netherlander, a renaissance Spaniard, a baroque Saxon, or your language and culture were “classical” French.

  • MTO 20.1: Willey, Editing and Arrangement
    Volume 20, Number 1, March 2014 Copyright © 2014 Society for Music Theory The Editing and Arrangement of Conlon Nancarrow’s Studies for Disklavier and Synthesizers Robert Willey NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.14.20.1/mto.14.20.1.willey.php KEYWORDS: Conlon Nancarrow, MIDI, synthesis, Disklavier ABSTRACT: Over the last three decades a number of approaches have been used to hear Conlon Nancarrow’s Studies for Player Piano in new settings. The musical information necessary to do this can be obtained from his published scores, the punching scores that reveal the planning behind the compositions, copies of the rolls, or the punched rolls themselves. The most direct method of extending the Studies is to convert them to digital format, because of the similarities between the way notes are represented on a player piano roll and in MIDI. The process of editing and arranging Nancarrow’s Studies in the MIDI environment is explained, including how piano roll dynamics are converted into MIDI velocities, and other decisions that must be made in order to perform them in a particular environment: the Yamaha Disklavier with its accompanying GM sound module. While Nancarrow approved of multi-timbral synthesis, separating the voices of his Studies and assigning them unique timbres changes the listener’s experience of the “resultant,” Tenney’s term for the fusion of multiple voices into a single polyphonic texture. Received January 2014 1. Introduction [1.1] Conlon Nancarrow’s compositional output from 1948 until his death in 1997 was primarily for the two player pianos in his studio in Mexico City.
