Most permanent members were Christopher Franke and Peter Baumann. Klaus Schulze was an early member, and went on to a successful solo career. Infuenced by: Stockhausen, Jimi Hendrix, Steve Reich, Pink Floyd, and French composers Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy. Played a pivotal role in the development of Krautrock, Ambient and New Age Music. Moog 960 Sequential Controller (1968) Used by Chris Franke for rhythmic and repetitive structures. Improvisation by using knobs and switches. Three rows of eight potentiometers, each sends out a fxed voltage. A control voltage “clock” controls the speed. Bottom row positions for “play,” “skip,” or “loop.” Examples Three rows could play three note chords if all are sent to VCOs, Voltage-Controlled Oscillators. One row could control the pitch of a melodic sequence, while the second controlled flter cutoffs, while a third controls a VCA, Voltage- Controlled Amplifer. Kraftwerk Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider + They began making music in 1968 with a tape recorder and an organ "Industrial folk music" "Ethnic music from the German industrial center" Technology as art, as it is, not resembling nature.

DIGITAL AUDIO & COMPUTER MUSIC Patchwork (1977) Laurie Spiegel 15 PEOPLE / GROUPS TERMS / CONCEPTS / TECHNOLOGIES Laurie Speigel Digital Encoding Iannis Xenakis Sampling Rate Max Matthews Bit Depth John Chowning Binary (Bit / Byte) James Tenney Nyquist Theorem Paul Lansky Aliasing Music (Software) Music Mouse (Software) Types Of Synthesis Two Parameters of Digital Encoding Pulse-code modulation (PCM) Sampling Rate How quickly are the amplitudes of a signal measured? (time interval) Bit Depth How accurate are amplitude measurements when sampled? (pressure resolution) Sampling Rate measured in hertz (Hz) the faster we sample, the better chance we have of getting an accurate picture of the signal in order to represent all sounds within the range of human hearing (20,000 Hz) we require a sampling rate of (at least) 40,000 Hz. (Nyquist Theorem) Unwanted artifacts are audible when the sampling rate drops below 2x the highest frequency. (Aliasing) Nyquist Theorem to well represent a signal, the sampling rate should be at least twice the highest frequency contained in the signal. In mathematical terms: fs ≥ 2fc where fs is the sampling rate and fc is the highest frequency contained in the signal The highest frequency we can accurately record is half the sampling rate, in other words, at least two points per period must be sampled Aliasing a result of undersampling you not only lose information about the signal, but you get the wrong information. the signal takes on a different “persona” -- a false presentation or “alias” Bit Depth represents how accurately the analog wave can be represented. A higher bit depth will have less noise and a better dynamic range. 16 bit-depth is the standard for CD audio. (65,536 values) Professional audio systems have options for higher bit depths (DVD audio supports 24) and sampling rates (up to 96 and 192 kHz). Common Types of Synthesis Additive synthesis complex tones can be created by the summation, or addition, of simpler tones (organ, telharmonium, fairlight CMI, Fourier theorem, Max Mathews) Subtractive synthesis sound sculpting—start with noise (many frequencies), and then flter them (James Tenney) Formant synthesis a type of subtractive synthesis based on the resonant physical structure of the sound-producing medium, think speech (Paul Lansky) Granular synthesis combining very short sonic events called 'grains' to generate complex textures (Xenakis) Frequency Modulation the frequency of a simple waveform (carrier wave) is modulated by another (FM Synthesis) frequency (modulator wave)(John Chowning) MAX MATHEWS Often cited as the “Father of Computer Music” He continued to develop Music (the program) throughout the 1960s frst real-time computer system Groove in 1968 a conductor program and instrument called the Radio Baton (tracked x- y-z positions - we have one here!)

    The Importance of Being Digital Paul Lansky 3/19/04 Tart-Lecture 2004

    The Importance of Being Digital Paul Lansky 3/19/04 tART-lecture 2004 commissioneed by the tART Foundation in Enschede and the Gaudeamus Foundation in Amsterdam Over the past twenty years or so the representation, storage and processing of sound has moved from analog to digital formats. About ten years audio and computing technologies converged. It is my contention that this represents a significant event in the history of music. I begin with some anecdotes. My relation to the digital processing and music begins in the early 1970’s when I started working intensively on computer synthesis using Princeton University’s IBM 360/91 mainframe. I had never been interested in working with analog synthesizers or creating tape music in a studio. The attraction of the computer lay in the apparently unlimited control it offered. No longer were we subject to the dangers of razor blades when splicing tape or to drifting pots on analog synthesizers. It seemed simple: any sound we could describe, we could create. Those of us at Princeton who were caught up in serialism, moreover, were particularly interested in precise control over pitch and rhythm. We could now realize configurations that were easy to hear but difficult and perhaps even impossible to perform by normal human means. But, the process of bringing our digital sound into the real world was laborious and sloppy. First, we communicated with the Big Blue Machine, as we sometimes called it, via punch cards: certainly not a very effective interface. Next, we had a small lab in the Engineering Quadrangle that we used for digital- analog and analog-digital conversion.

Gardner Submitted to the Program in Media Arts and Sciences, School of Architecture and Planning on August 8, 1997, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Abstract 3-D audio systems, which can surround a listener with sounds at arbitrary locations, are an important part of immersive interfaces. A new approach is presented for implementing 3-D audio using a pair of conventional loudspeakers. The new idea is to use the tracked position of the listener’s head to optimize the acoustical presentation, and thus produce a much more realistic illusion over a larger listening area than existing loudspeaker 3-D audio systems. By using a remote head tracker, for instance based on computer vision, an immersive audio environment can be created without donning headphones or other equipment.

    The Mixtape: a Case Study in Emancipatory Journalism

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE MIXTAPE: A CASE STUDY IN EMANCIPATORY JOURNALISM Jared A. Ball, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Directed By: Dr. Katherine McAdams Associate Professor Philip Merrill College of Journalism Associate Dean, Undergraduate Studies During the 1970s the rap music mixtape developed alongside hip-hop as an underground method of mass communication. Initially created by disc-jockeys in an era prior to popular “urban” radio and video formats, these mixtapes represented an alternative, circumventing traditional mass medium. However, as hip-hop has come under increasing corporate control within a larger consolidated media ownership environment, so too has the mixtape had to face the challenge of maintaining its autonomy. This media ownership consolidation, vertically and horizontally integrated, has facilitated further colonial control over African America and has exposed as myth notions of democratizing media in an undemocratic society. Acknowledging a colonial relationship the writer created FreeMix Radio: The Original Mixtape Radio Show where the mixtape becomes both a source of free cultural expression and an anti-colonial emancipatory journalism developed as a “Third World” response to the needs of postcolonial nation-building. This dissertation explores the contemporary colonizing effects of media consolidation, cultural industry function, and copyright ownership, concluding that the development of an underground press that recognizes the tremendous disparities in advanced technological access (the “digital divide”) appears to be the only viable alternative. The potential of the mixtape to serve as a source of emancipatory journalism is studied via a three-pronged methodological approach: 1) An explication of literature and theory related to the history of and contemporary need for resistance media, 2) an analysis of the mixtape as a potential underground mass press and 3) three focus group reactions to the mixtape as resistance media, specifically, the case study of the writer’s own FreeMix Radio: The Original Mixtape Radio Show.
