<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Een van de bekendste elektronische &#8216;tunes&#8217; uit de vroege jaren van de elektronische muziek is Psyché Rock.</p>
<p>Iedereen kent het tegenwoordig van de openingsgeneriek van Futurama. Het is misschien het bekendste electronische nummer uit die zestiger jaren.<br />
Pierre Henry maakte het tesamen met de britse rockband Spooky Tooth. Het werd gebruikt  door Maurice Bejart in één van zijn balletten. Met name: &#8220;<em>Messe pour le temps présent</em>,&#8221;</p>
<p>Het werd ook een hit in vele disco&#8217;s, danszalen en op fuiven.</p>
<p>Het was echter maar een zijsprongetje van Pierre Henry, die doorgaans andere muziek maakte.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>OK just checked out some things about Musique Concrete, something that was raised in our lecture this week. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musique_concr%C3%A8te" target="_blank">Here&#8217;s</a> a link. I think that this level of experimentation and discovery is amazing for it&#8217;s day. No Cubase or Pro Tools to deconstruct sounds with, just some clever engineering a bit of maths and some real imagination. It has a number of films on You Tube featuring some contemporary homages to the elders, you can check one out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZqbI00sor0&#38;feature=related" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>The technique was developed about 1948 by the French composer <a title="Pierre Schaeffer" href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/526992/Pierre-Schaeffer">Pierre Schaeffer</a> and his associates at the Studio d’Essai (“Experimental Studio”) of the French radio system (<a href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/399309/musique-concrete" target="_blank">Encyclopedia Britannica</a>). He would gather an assortment of natural sounds including voices and instruments and arrange these sounds varying their pitch and tone to create some weird and wonderful results that varied in intensity and feel.</p>
<p>This was the first time that electronic aids were used to extend the repertoire  of the composer yet was still frowned upon by more traditionally educated musicians. It is a controversial subject, some people just hear noise, uncomfortable noisy non tempo-ed noise. Others can appreciate the technique, the style and mood of which is meant to be felt.</p>
<div id="attachment_98" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 365px"><img class="size-full wp-image-98 " title="Pierre_Henry" src="http://jamiecarmichael.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/pierre_henry2.jpg" alt="One of the godfathers of Musique Concrete" width="355" height="388" /><p class="wp-caption-text">One of the godfathers of Musique Concrete</p></div>
<p>Not all traditionally trained composers felt the same way. Three years later in 1951 Schaeffer joined forces with Pierre Henry, who has been worshiped alongside Schaffer as being the pioneers of Musique Concrete. There&#8217;s an interesting article here bought the fact that the contemporary theme-song to the TV show &#8216;Futurama&#8217; was inspired by Henry&#8217;s 1967 composition called &#8216;Psyche Rock&#8217;.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKz4qVmUz84" target="_blank">Here&#8217;s</a> &#8216;Psyche Rock&#8217; by Henry. I didn&#8217;t know there was a Fatboy Slim remix too! Check it out <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5tpiw_pierre-henry-psyche-rock-fatboy-sli_music" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>I had the pleasure of hearing &#8216;Vocalises&#8217; by Pierre Henry (1951), you can listen to it <a href="http://media.sas.upenn.edu/pennsound/misc/patteson/Vocalises.mp3" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m really liking this idea of layering up sounds to create something new. I think I would like to use both .WAV files as well as MIDI instruments and create a mix of old and new. It&#8217;s not long until the deadline (27/10/09) so I&#8217;d better get cracking as I intend for my piece to closer mimic the movements of the film.Every motion should have a sound. I will use Ableton Live as it is a piece of software I have never used before. I have used things like Reason and Cubase quite a lot so using something new should encourage that feeling of experimentation as I learn how to use Ableton. Hopefully this will show in my final piece. I intend to use a range of frequencies to depict certain movements as well as using spatial awareness to trick the listeners psycho-acoustic awareness. There&#8217;s a brief article <a href="http://is.rice.edu/~welsh/elec431/psychoAcoustic.html" target="_blank">here</a> about Psychoacoustics, something that I find fascinating. Another thing I am interested in is effects such as <a href="http://emusician.com/tutorials/emusic_acting_impulse/" target="_blank">Convolution Reverb</a>, the method of taking an impulse response of an acoustic space and convoluting the resulting reverberation with an instrument to make the instrument sound like it is actually being played in the space. People have uploaded their own efforts to forums and includes the <a href="http://www.waves.com/Content.aspx?id=250" target="_blank">Sydney Opera House</a>! You live at the Sydney Opera House! There are some more obscure ones such as plant pots and the back of peoples vans. You can download a copy of SIR <a href="http://www.knufinke.de/sir/sir1.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>SIR is a FREEWARE VST plug in Reverb effect module that allows the use of convolution reverb, great fun, have a go.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Il y quelques semaines, mon bon ami<strong> <a href="http://gaube.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Gaube</a></strong> m&#8217;a proposé un &#8220;échange&#8221; de critiques de pièces, l’un envoyant une dizaine de minutes de musique à l’autre qui ensuite en fait un commentaire sur son blogue. Eh bien, mon vis-à-vis a déjà complété ses critiques depuis quelques jours déjà, que vous pouvez lire <a href="http://gaube.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/critiques-1/" target="_blank">ici</a>.</p>
<p>Considérant que le garçon en question quelques années d’études en musique derrière la cravate, à la lecture de ses critiques vous constaterez qu’il ne lésine pas sur les détails de structure. De plus, de l’autre côté, vous devinez aussi qu’il ne m’a pas fait parvenir le dernier album de Sylvain Cossette non plus.</p>
<p>J’ai donc fait mon gros possible de répondre à ses envois, quatre titres en tout, dans la mesure des capacités des mes oreilles et de mes émotions.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>1) <em>Pierrot  Lunaire Op. 21 &#8211; Part 1 &#8211; Mondestruken</em> de <strong>Schönberg </strong></p>
<p>Cette pièce pourrait être la plus hors de mon champ musical des quatre du lot. Selon les instructions que Gaube a jointes à son envoi, Schönberg est l’un des premiers à avoir fait de la musique atonale. À l’écoute, ça paraît, mais ce n’est pas nécessairement dérangeant. Ça ne m’a pris que trois ou quatre écoutes pour bien apprécier, et avec sincérité.</p>
<p>Dans les émotions ressenties par les oreilles, on entre ici dans un univers qui ne suit pas un chemin précis. En fait, on a l’impression d’écouter <strong>Blanche-Neige</strong> sur l’acide (soit dit en passant, <em>acide</em> est un mot qui revient un peu trop souvent dans mon vocabulaire lorsque je défini la musique que Gaube écoute, je m’en excuse d’avance, et je m’excuse aussi pour cette très longue parenthèse) ou bien de jouer dans un tableau du niveau de la « <em>Forêt des illusions</em> » de <strong>Super Mario World</strong> (je sors de nulle part avec ça, je sais). On entend grosso modo : un piano qui se fait mystérieux, une flûte traversière taquine, un violon relativement grinçant et une chanteuse d’opéra qui parle plus qu’elle ne chante. Malgré le mélange éclectique que je décris, <em>la sauce prend</em>.</p>
<p>2) <em>Sweet Charity</em> de <strong>Mr. Bungle</strong></p>
<p>Sacré Gaube, ce coquin a personnalisé ses choix en y joignant une pièce qui vient toucher la corde « <strong>Brian Wilson/Beach Boys </strong>» de ma mélomanie. L’influence du génie californien des harmonies vocales et de l’instrumentation pop est facilement perceptible dans cette pièce. Une réverbération dans les percussions, l’omniprésence de celles-ci, un clavier-clavecin, une douce guitare et le son de basse sans <em>sustain</em> trahissent l’influence wilsonienne. Néanmoins, l’utilisation des voix est un peu plus sautée, moins harmonieuse et va jouer un peu plus dans les basses, ce qui donne à l’exercice une touche intéressante. De plus, dans la structure (pour paraphraser Gaube), Wilson lui-même a rarement été aussi éclaté, on passe du coq à l’âne dans le temps de le dire.</p>
<p>Le plus troublant c’est que l’album dont est tirée la pièce date de 1999 et sa production ressemble en plusieurs points à celle de <em>SMiLE</em> de Brian Wilson lancé en 2004 (avec près de quatre décennies de retard, mais tout de même un des albums essentiels de la décennie selon moi). À croire que le maître s’est rafraîchi l’oreille en l’écoutant, ou que ses élèves ont eu une sacrée prémonition.</p>
<p>3) <em>Messe pour le Temps Présent &#8211; Prologue</em> de <strong>Pierre Henry</strong></p>
<p>Si <strong>Serge Gainsbourg</strong> n’a jamais écouté l’album où se retrouve cette pièce de Pierre Henry, eh bien le hasard fait de bien belles choses. En effet, selon moi, cette pièce pourrait très bien trouver sa niche en quelque part dans son légendaire <em>Histoire de Melody Nelson</em> : même son de basse, même batterie presque nonchalante et un ensemble sonore très semblable.</p>
<p>Toutefois, tenir une critique de cette pièce à cette seule comparaison est très réducteur. Maître de l’électro-acoustique (pas la guitare acoustique qui se branche, mais le type de musique/son), Pierre Henry travaille plus sur la texture que sur la musique elle-même – qui peut être considérée comme un simple faire-valoir dans cette pièce. En effet, la basse et la batterie que j’ai décrites, si elles sont à l’avant-plan et auxquelles je donne peut-être trop d’importance, sont entourées de petites percussions qui ressemble à « des petites chaînes qui tombent sur une feuille de métal » alors que la pièce débute et se termine (peut-être) sur un piano enregistré au loin alors que ses cordes semblent (et je tiens à préciser que c’est plus du sentiment qu’une réalité rationnelle) avoir été remplacées par les touches d’un métallophone. Tout ceci avec des petites touches très subtiles de flûte traversière, si je ne m’abuse, ainsi d’orgue combo et de trompette.</p>
<p>4) <em>Préludes 1 &#8211; Danseuses de Delphes</em> de <strong>Debussy</strong></p>
<p>Considérant ma sensibilité mal exploitée à l’égard des impressionnistes, Gaube m’a fait parvenir cette pièce de Debussy qui fut toutefois pour moi la plus dure à commenter de l’ensemble. En effet, comme la pièce n’est composée que d’un piano, j’ai essayé de bien y réfléchir avant de la commenter pour ne pas écrire une connerie trop vite sortie de mes sentiments.</p>
<p>Dans l’évolution de la structure, la pièce ne brusque rien. Elle vogue lentement et sûrement, si bien qu’on reste surpris après quelques écoutes qu’elle ait monté subtilement en intensité à partir du second tiers et qu’elle prenne une tournure plus grave dans le troisième tiers. L’excellent thème d’ensemble vient et revient, tout en douceur. On peut se laisser facilement envoûter…</p>
<p>Enfin, à moins qu’elles soient complètement stupides, mes oreilles trouvent aussi que l’ensemble n’est pas très loin d’un petit jazz (un anachronisme ici) de fin de soirée avec les lumières tamisées. De plus, ça semble tout aussi bon pour le petit café au lait parisien les jours de pluie. Voilà donc pour l’<em>impression</em> que la pièce de Debussy m’apporte.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h3><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-83" title="pierre henry" src="http://paske.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/pierre-henry.jpg" alt="pierre henry" width="331" height="331" /></h3>
<div>&#8220;ADRIANA FERREIRA SILVA<br />
da Folha de S. Paulo</p>
<p>A fita cassete e o gravador ainda não haviam sido inventados quando, em meados dos anos 40, em Paris, dois Pierres, Henry e Schaeffer, decidiram criar uma &#8220;música nova&#8221;, feita a partir da manipulação de objetos, com ruídos e pedaços de outras músicas. Nascia ali a música concreta, além de uma série de procedimentos que, posteriormente, ficariam conhecidos como sample e remix.</p>
<p>&#8220;Nosso principal equipamento era o microfone, que permitia gravar muitos sons&#8221;, diz Henry. &#8220;A fita cassete ainda não existia, então, trabalhávamos com LPs, registrando pedaços bem pequenos de músicas, que eram copiados em outro player. Essa maneira de produção, que inventamos em 1950, deu início ao que faz um DJ. Usávamos dois toca-discos para ter diferentes sonoridades na mesma gravação.&#8221;</p>
<p>Desde que criou o Grupo de Pesquisa de Música Concreta com Pierre Schaeffer, em 1949, Henry investiga as possibilidades de composição por meios não-convencionais. &#8220;A música concreta é o ato de escolher o som e trabalhar nisso, manipulando, gravando e regravando, o que resulta em algo totalmente diferente&#8221;, define ele. &#8220;Depois de anos estudando instrumentos e composições eruditas no conservatório, tive vontade de explorar novos mundos.&#8221;</p>
<p>Obras de sua autoria inspiraram artista como o então jovem alemão Karlheinz Stockhausen, que, instigado pelos franceses, intensificou suas experiências eletrônicas. &#8220;Stock-hausen estava mais ligado à escola alemã, curiosa sobre a eletrônica, e eu, à música concreta&#8221;, explica Henry. &#8220;Queríamos fazer nosso próprio som, utilizando diferentes fontes, instrumentos e objetos, entre outras coisas. O interesse pela eletrônica veio um pouco mais tarde, em 1954, quando fiz minha primeira música eletrônica, &#8216;Haut-Voltage&#8217; [1956].&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div>&#8220;Peças suas também caíram nas mãos de produtores como o inglês Fatboy Slim, que remixou &#8220;Psyche Rock&#8221;. Apesar disso, Pierre Henry pouco sabe sobre a eletrônica atual. &#8220;Não ouço&#8221;, responde, impaciente.</p>
<p>Se existe uma analogia entre seu trabalho e o desses produtores, Henry resume: &#8220;A diferença é que nós criávamos os samples, e muitos DJs os roubam. Essa era a única tecnologia que existia. Inventamos o sample, o uso da reverberação, a mesa de mixar&#8230;&#8221;</p>
</div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>W ostatnich miesiącach dwóch twórców muzyki konkretnej odwiedziło Warszawę.</p>
<p>W ramach Musica Genera Festival w Muzeum Sztuki Nowoczesnej odbyło się spotkanie z Lionelem Marchettim, który opowiadał o kontakcie ze zjawami, dlaczego kiedyś nie bardzo lubił muzykę, jakich mikrofonów używa. <a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YACJZ2YJ">mp3</a> (muszę ustalić autora nagrania)</p>
<p>Utwory,  o których wspomina Marchetti znajdują się na <a href="http://emd.pl/wiki/Lionel_Marchetti%2C_Yôko_Higashi_&#34;Okura_73°N_-_42°E&#34;" target="_blank">tej płycie</a>.</p>
<p>Na zaproszenie Warszawskiej Jesieni przyjechał Pierre Henry, spotkanie z nim miało miejsce w austriackim forum kultury. Henry mówił ogólnie o swoich metodach, o tym, że jest żołnierzem muzyki konkretnej i że wibruje dźwiękiem. <a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AV9OONTE" target="_blank"> wav</a> (ale mały)</p>
<p>W obu przypadkach jest oryginał (po francusku) i tłumaczenie na polski.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Do Pierre&#8217;a Schaeffera jeszcze powrócimy, ale już może czas wprowadzić nowe postacie na scenę. Oczywiście Henry już się pojawiał w poprzednich tekstach, bo był najbliższym współpracownikiem Schaeffera, natomiast dzisiejszy tekst pokaże ten okres od innej strony, a także drogę, jaką później Henry poszedł, która była zupełnie inna niż ta, jaką obrał Schaeffer.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Co to muzyka konkretna? Odpuśćmy sobie polskojęzyczną wikipedię, lepiej zajrzeć do<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musique_concrète" target="_blank"> anglo-</a> albo <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musique_concr%C3%A8te" target="_blank">francusko-</a>. Twórcą tego stylu był  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Schaeffer" target="_blank">Pierre Schaeffer</a>, oprócz niego ważnymi przedstawicielami są/byli Pierre Henry, Michel Chion, Bernard Parmegiani, Luc Ferrari, François Bayle, Lionel Marchetti. Z większością z tych twórców spotkamy się w nadchodzących wpisach.</p>
<p>Z Marchettim, który jest jednym z nie tak wielu kompozytorów młodszego pokolenia, też, ale co lepsze niedługo nadarza się naprawdę nieczęsta okazja posłuchania jego muzyki na koncercie i jego wykładu o sztuce głośnika. W ramach <a href="http://musicagenera.net/festivals_mg2009.html" target="_blank">Musica Genera Festival 2009</a>: koncert w sobotę 27-ego czerwca, wykład dzień później.</p>
<p>Jeśli chodzi o teksty po polsku, to na pewno są jakieś leksykony, słowniki muzyki XX wieku, gdzie coś o muzyce konkretnej się znajduje, ale w tej chwili najlepszym źródłem wiedzy jest <a href="http://glissando.pl/index.php?s=czasopisma_szczegoly&#38;id=15&#38;t=1" target="_blank">dwunasty numer Glissanda</a> (który można kupić <a href="http://wsm.serpent.pl/sklep/albumik.php,alb_id,10413,12-(maj-2007)," target="_blank">tutaj</a>).</p>
<p>I od tekstu z tego magazynu zaczniemy: Peter Manning, <em>Pierre Schaeffer. Samotny pionier z Paryża</em>, Glissando 12/2007, tłum. A. Kwiecińska, A. Pęcherzewska, J. Topolski [10 str., SK: Pierre Henry, RTF, obiekt dźwiękowy, il.: zdjęcia Schaeffera, potencjometr przestrzenny, wykres trzech <em>plans de rèfèrence</em>]</p>
<p><a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EV1WQFBZ">jpgi w zipie</a> (dobra jakość? czy jednak mają być skany?)</p>
<p>A tekst ten jest jednym z rozdziałów książki <a href="http://books.google.pl/books?id=P2dClS4LdPQC&#38;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank"><em>Electronic and computer music </em></a>Manninga. Polecam też zajrzeć do bardziej podręcznikowej (w dobry sposób) <em><a href="http://books.google.pl/books?id=K-7tr1qL930C&#38;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank">Electronic and experimental music: technology, music and culture</a> </em>T.  Holmesa.<em> </em></p>
<p><em></em>Trochę można też znaleźć we<em> <a href="http://books.google.pl/books?id=eKfF_WdZolQC&#38;printsec=frontcover&#38;lr=" target="_blank">French Music since Berlioz</a></em> pod redakcją R. L. Smitha i C. Potter.</p>
<p>O Schaefferze zanim stworzył muzykę konkretną (przy okazji: nie mylić jego Jeune France z<a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Jeune_France" target="_blank"> La Jeune France</a>) we<em> <a href="http://books.google.pl/books?id=CWC0l3xmB9wC&#38;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank">France: The Dark Years, 1990-1944</a></em> J.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;">Hoje vou falar um pouco da música eletroacústica.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Estava conversando com um de meus amigos (Leonardo Bertoline) e ele me passou três vídeos muito interessantes retratando um pouco sobre a história da música. Neste post quero compartilhar sua explicação junto com os vídeos.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Basicamente, a música sempre foi escrita para instrumentos. A partir de 1948, a história da música tem um revertério. Na França, Pierre Schafer compõe uma música somente com sons gravados e tratados em estúdio. Nasce aí a música eletroacústica.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Peça feita com sons do trem</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9pOq8u6-bA"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/N9pOq8u6-bA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/N9pOq8u6-bA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Schafer gravava os sons do mundo e tratava, compondo músicas. Henry foi companheiro dele e compôs com ele. Se não me engano a peça dos dois chama-se Sinfonie pour un Home Seul.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">            Música de Pierre Henry, que mais tarde se enveredou mais pro lado Pop.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKz4qVmUz84&#38;feature=related"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/TKz4qVmUz84&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/TKz4qVmUz84&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Finalizando a explicação, deixo aqui um vídeo da banda Kraftwerk, uma banda alemã que foi crucial na música eletrônica pop.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXa9tXcMhXQ"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/VXa9tXcMhXQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/VXa9tXcMhXQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-209" title="archival" src="http://arkivfeber.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/archival1.jpg" alt="archival" width="144" height="144" /></p>
<p>Da jeg for nylig stødte på New England Electric   Music Companys bootleg-serie med hidtil uudgivne konkret musik-soundtracks købte jeg rub og stub. Det beløb sig til cirka 50 dollars for de i alt seks 3&#8243;-udgivelser, så en tung investering vil jeg ikke kalde det. Hver cd i serien samler værker af musique concrète-komponister som Bernard Parmegiani &#8211; hvis lydspor til Piotr Kamlers animationsfilm og hans egne film klart dominerer serien, Parmegiani er repræsenteret på fire af udgivelserne og to af dem udgøres udelukkende af hans værker &#8211; og Pierre Henry &#8211; hvis musik til naturdokumentaristen Jean Painlevés fantastiske blækspruttefilm <em>Les amours de la Pieuvre</em> fra 1964 er inkluderet, lige som Robert Cohen-Solals &#8211; manden bag musikken til den voldsomt populære franske børnetegneserie <em>Les Shadoks</em> &#8211; musik til Piotr Kamlers <em>Delicieuse Catastrophe</em> er taget med. Serien udgør således et supplement til de officielle udgivelser som disse værker ikke har fundet vej til og er af stor arkæologisk interesse for musique-concrète fans.<br />
Der synes dog, at ligge nogle underlige overvejelser til grund for anvendelse af genrebetegnelse (1) lige som optagelsernes kvalitetsmæssige ophav (2) fremstår uklar, hvilket jeg her vil kommentere:<br />
1. udgiveren har under konkret musik-betegnelsen truffet det besynderlige valg, at inkludere en komponist som Pierre Boulez, der ganske vist var tilknyttet GRM-studierne i starten af 50&#8242;erne, men kort efter brød med Schaeffers idégrundlag og nedgjorde hele genren i voldsomt perfide vendninger. Hører man til dem der ikke er stor fan Boulez&#8217; æstetik bidrager det blot til underholdningen ved gennemlytningen af disse værker, men musikhistorisk lødig formidling er det ikke. På samme måde er Tom Dissevelt og Gershon Kingsley sat under denne paraplybetegnelse og det er nok heller ikke en helt troværdig fremstilling af deres overordnede musikalske intentioner, selv om de inkluderede værker bestemt har konkretmusikalske træk.<br />
2. På ingen af udgivelserne i serien er lydkvaliteten af god kvalitet. Naturligvis er dette et grundvilkår for en bootleg-serie, der ønsker, at tilgængeliggøre værker der ikke (endnu) har fundet vej til officielle genudgivelser eller har haft økonomiske midler til rådighed til, at restaurere og remasterere de originale lydspor. Lyden er derfor ULDEN på mange af værkerne og det skriger langt væk af, at være optagelser, der er blevet overført gennem flere forskellige lydbærende medier med tilhørende generationstab. I omslaget til alle udgivelser (på nær den første, der har haft de oprindelige 16mm-monospor til rådighed) præciseres det, at værkerne er overført fra &#8220;First generation video cassette copies of first generation mono 16mm prints.&#8221;. Hvad man hører er altså lyden af god gammeldags vhs, der er en kopi af en 16 mm førstegenerationskopi af filmene. På den baggrund ville det være korrekt, at betegne disse udgivelser som 2.generationskopier &#8211; en vhs-kopi af en 16 mm-master &#8211; en overførsel fra et billed- og lydbærende medie til et teknisk set ringere medie &#8211; vhs-mediet. Men der kan sås yderligere tvivl om i hvilken forgrening af værkernes historie disse lydspor er hentet fra: for på hvilket grundlag kalder udgiverne 16mm-kopierne for første generation? Slår man eksempelvis op i Bernard Parmegiani-monografien i INAs <em>Portraits Polychromes</em>-serie kan man konstatere, at flere af de film, der er hentet lydspor fra på denne serie oprindeligt er i 35mm. Det gælder fx. <em>Jeux des anges</em> (1964), <em>Le pas</em> (1975) og <em>L&#8217;araignéléphant</em> (1967), men ikke <em>L&#8217;écran transparent</em> (1976). På det grundlag må flere af disse lydspor altså betegnes som 3. generationskopier, der i hvert led er blevet overført til et teknisk set inferiørt medie i forhold til kilden. Det gælder sandsynligvis ikke kun for Parmegianis værker som er dem, jeg har haft mulighed for at tjekke efter.<br />
Ikke desto mindre er serien anbefalelsesværdig. Mange af værkerne er obskure og umulige, at stifte bekendtskab med andre steder. Lige som udgivelsernes indpakning med screen shots fra de enkelte film og trykket på cderne signalerer, at der ligger en stor kærlighed og entusiasme bag udgivelserne. Det er prisværdigt at Thaddeus Cahill &#8211; højst sandsynligt et dæknavn, selvom det ville være en smuk verden hvis det virkelig var tilfældet, at en amerikansk udgiver af konkretmusikbootlegs delte navn med opfinderen af Telharmoniummet &#8211; har taget initiativ til serien.<br />
Tiden har dog indhentet enkelte af udgivelserne i serien og det er fx. muligt, at erhverve sig flere af lydsporene i langt bedre kvallitet &#8211; i deres oprindelige audiovisuelle sammenhæng &#8211; hvis man investerer i DVD-udgivelsen af Jean Painlevés film fra enten franske Les Documents cinématographiques eller engelske BFI får man således adgang til Pierre Henrys musik i en nyrestaureret udgave. De fleste af Piotr Kamlers animationsfilm &#8211; med soundtracks af GRM-komponister som Cohen-Solal, Parmegiani, Bayle og Ferrari &#8211; er samlet på DVDen <em>A la recherche du temps</em> fra aaa_production, der bl.a. indeholder Kamlers sci-fi-mesterværk <em>Chronopolis</em> med et dystert og industrielt lydspor af Luc Ferrari.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-580" title="Intro 1." src="http://markeneu.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/intro-1.jpg" alt="Intro 1." width="400" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Desde que los futuristas italianos reivindicaran el valor del ruido y la disonancia como materia para la creación de una música nueva en su manifiesto “L’arte dei Rumori”, los sonidos de la vida cotidiana han venido reclamando su espacio de libertad frente a las más encorsetadas formas -lo melódico, lo armonioso, lo consonante- de la música popular. Personajes formados en la académica como Edgar Varèse o John Cage, pioneros de la música concreta como Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Henry o Francis Dhomont, o accionistas adscritos a movimientos artísticos como Fluxus han hecho que las fronteras entre disciplinas, entre distintos lenguajes y aproximaciones al hecho sonoro, entre la música articulada y el sonido en su estado más puro, aparezcan hoy más diluidas y desdibujadas que nunca.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El sonido como materia prima y primordial en la construcción de una realidad física que nos contiene, la radio como repetidor y conductor de frecuencias que desopacan el aire, o la red de redes como último y más amplio contenedor sonoro y gran megáfono transnacional en funcionamiento constante… Dentro y fuera del espacio triangular que definen esos vértices se sitúan los intereses de suono.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Punto de encuentro no sólo para los amantes del sonido, sino para todos aquellos interesados en conocer los terrenos híbridos por los que transita el arte de nuestros días. Ya lo decía Bill Fontana: un sonido son todas las maneras de ser escuchado.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cuando algunos melómanos, allá por los últimos años del siglo XIX, se rascaron la cabeza ante habitaciones enteras llenas de cilindros de cera, la idea empezó a resonar entre sus orejas… Pero los murmullos sobre el tema no llegarían hasta unos años más tarde, junto con aquellos soportes circulares, primero de pizarra, mucho después de vinilo, y finalmente de un policarbonato cuyo tacto aún recordarán los nostálgicos del CD. Para entonces ya era un secreto a voces: el sonido ocupaba un espacio, y éste cada vez era mayor.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Incluso los otros discos, que no tardarían en llegar, y que al principio se ocultaron en el interior de nuestros ordenadores (para después mostrarse casi desnudos —sólo cubiertos por una carcasa, apenas perforada para dar cabida a la clavija USB—, fueron ocupando, poco a poco, nuestros escritorios, nuestras estanterías, las mesillas de noche. Las promesas de la era de la información se revelaron falsas: los ceros y los unos seguían acumulándose, agotando nuestro espacio, continuaban almacenando gigas y más gigas de, mientras se multiplicaba el espacio conquistado por el audio.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El sonido, al modo de una sustancia gaseosa, parecía ocupar todo el espacio disponible. Muchos, admitiendo la situación, decidían inyectárselo ellos mismos, a través de auriculares, directamente en la cabeza… La gente terminó por tolerar que esto se hiciese incluso en la vía pública. Algunos intentaban escapar, refugiándose en sus casas. Pero tampoco allí resultaba posible: Internet rebosaba de sonidos, y las viejas radios no dejaban de funcionar.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Se dice que en los próximos años el sonido aparecerá aún en lugares imprevistos. Dicen que en Internet aún queda espacio para mucho más, también se rumorea que pronto la radio incrementará la intensidad de sus emisiones. Probablemente quede poco para que los más niños se unan a los más viejos, y a los que quedan en medio, en su huida ante esta expansión del sonido. Como sucede casi siempre, otras generaciones se unirán entre sí para celebrar esto mismo.</p>

<p><a href="The Art of Sounds, 2007"><em>pierre henry: the art of sounds</em></a> &#8211; an interesting, albeit a bit shallow, look into the mind of one of the creators of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musique_concr%C3%A8te">musique concrete</a>. highly recommended if you at all interested in electronic or experimental music. i wish it delved more into his music process and how he built his machines. and who were those two women that are always around him?<br />

<description><![CDATA[Unlike my Top 12 Bands 2007, this year is a throwback to all good things &#8217;80s and &#8217;90s (]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Unlike my <a title="Top 12 Bands in 2007 (According to Last.fm)" href="http://reidmix.wordpress.com/2008/01/20/top-12-bands-in-2007-according-to-lastfm/">Top 12 Bands 2007</a>, this year is a throwback to all good things &#8217;80s and &#8217;90s (kinda-sorta).  Because I like to blame <a title="Tim Peysar's video blog" href="http://eveningrocket.com/" target="_blank">Tim Peysar</a> for my musical deviations, I will continue to do so for he led me, kicking and screaming, against my will, against my better intentions, against the will of my wallet, to buy all the Cure deluxe re-issues.</p>
<p>As I&#8217;d like to give him that full credit &#8212; I&#8217;ll also give him The Radio Dept. &#8212; I continued to buy re-issues of The Smiths (7&#8243; Singles: hawt!), and a deluxe re-issue of Beck Odelay (did DGC forget Mellow Gold?) all by my lonesome.  I&#8217;ve been avoiding those Sonic Youth re-issues.</p>
<p>If anything, it stands as a testament that this year in music was a grab-bag into the past instead of the push forward I&#8217;ve seen over the past few years.  Sometimes those leaps aren&#8217;t so obvious, or aren&#8217;t mined from the depths for years from now, but it gave me some time to discover and re-discover some of my musical roots.</p>
<p>The downside, this has been one of the most frustrating posts to put together and I know why I love my indies and give them all my money every chance I get.  To the major labels of my 80s and 90s icons and their weakness to share: they make it impossible to legally link to any mp3s.  High margins for them &#8212; no downloads for you &#8212; but you&#8217;ve probably heard it all before.</p>
<p><strong>01. The Cure</strong> on <a title="Fiction Records" href="http://www.fictionrecords.co.uk/" target="_blank">Fiction</a>, <a title="The Cure's official site" href="http://thecure.com" target="_blank">thecure.com</a><br />
I swore off The Cure with <em>Wild Mood Swings</em>.  I didn&#8217;t buy <em>Bloodflowers</em>. <em>Alt.End</em>: What.Was.That? I didn&#8217;t need the deluxe reissues, I had everything I wanted on LP, tape, and CD, Boxset, OMG.  Then the <em>I Am a Cult Hero</em> single was on one of the Reissues, then some of the non-<em>Curiosity Anomolies</em>, then I saw the packaging, in person with those wonderful liner notes.  After Robert Smith&#8217;s vocals made an apparance on <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">The Orb </span>Orbital&#8217;s Paul Hartnol &#8220;Please&#8221; single, and the once a month campaign of CD Singles leading up to <em>4:13 Dream</em>, I got sucked back in.  The Verdict: stay with the classics, they&#8217;ve held up to the test of time and bought up by the majors which is probably why their MP3s are on lockdown.  Re-issue <em>Disintegration</em> already!</p>
<p><strong>02. Cut Copy</strong> on <a title="Modular Interscope" href="http://www.modularpeople.com/" target="_blank">Modular Interscope</a>, <a title="Cut Copy Official Site" href="http://cutcopy.net" target="_blank">cutcopy.net</a><br />
If you listen to any songs from <em>In Ghost Colours</em> you might be inclined to wonder how did you miss them on you last 80s comp you bought.  Didn&#8217;t they come out of pre-Madchester with the sensibilities and guitars of New Order?  Even their debut album, <a title="Bright Like Neon Love on Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bright_Like_Neon_Love" target="_blank">Bright Like Neon Love</a>,  cover art is oh-so-<a title="The Life and Art of Patrick Nagel (Rio anyone?)" href="http://www.arthistoryarchive.com/arthistory/contemporary/The-Life-and-Art-of-Patrick-Nagel.html">Nagel</a>. But as implied by their name, the genres are exquisitely cut from different pieces and blended seamlessly like a crossed memory.  There&#8217;s the edge of The Pixies on &#8220;So Haunted&#8221; and the comfort of Fleetwood Mac on &#8220;Strangers in the Wind.&#8221;  There is an urgency of youth in the tapestry of songs.  I feel very lucky to have discovered Cut Copy and had the chance to see them at Coachella last year.</p>

Official Site" href="http://theradiodept.com/">theradiodept.com</a><br />
If <em>Pet Sounds</em> was the epitome of 60s-era genius, you could say that <em>Pet Grief</em> is analogous to 90s shoegaze on par with My Bloody Valentine&#8217;s <em>Loveless</em>.  What&#8217;s surprising, like Cut Copy, is that they have arrived within this decade!  From Sweden.  What I love about The Radio Dept. is that their take on shoegaze isn&#8217;t groundfacing, overdriven with guitar bloat.  It&#8217;s crisp as a leaf on a fall day, bringing the best of Cocteau Twin-sy ethereal without getting lost in the sirrus.  Hints of Johnny Marr, Robin Guthie run side-by-side with synth and piano, vocals receding alongside them. <a title="Download from The Radio Dept. site" href="http://theradiodept.com/Media/Downloads.html">So many free downloads</a> it makes you want to learn more about Labrador!</p>

I&#8217;d been looking forward to see how Luke Fischbeck and Sarah Rara would follow up <em>Widows</em> but to my surprise, <a title="Thank you Flavorpill" href="http://flavorpill.com/losangeles" target="_blank">winning tickets</a> to see them perform at LA&#8217;s The Smell, I saw what  <a title="Make a Baby on Lukey Dargons" href="http://www.hawksandsparrows.org/mab/" target="_blank">Make a Baby</a> was all about.  It&#8217;s <a title="The Whitney explains it better" href="http://www.whitney.org/www/2008biennial/www/?section=artists&#38;page=artist_dragons">hard to explain</a>, nearly religious in experience, where the audience to become participants in Lucky Dragon&#8217;s collaborative music making &#8212; Make a Baby, because, participants have to touch skin to affect the music.  I highly recommend!  There&#8217;s plenty of free music on Luke&#8217;s site, a copy of <em>Dark Falcon</em>, <a title="Bleach on Bleach remixes" href="http://hawksandsparrows.org/blog/?p=7" target="_blank">Bleach on Bleach</a> (A Nirvana &#8220;remix&#8221; album split with <a title="Jona Bechtolt's site" href="http://teamyacht.com" target="_blank">Y.A.C.H.T.</a>).  I was happy to discover to <a title="Look up Pierre Henry's Psyché Rock" href="http://tinyurl.com/ce3rze">Pierre Henry</a>&#8217;s &#8220;Atelier&#8221; on his site, perhaps giving insight to Luke&#8217;s influences.</p>

<p><strong>05  French Kicks</strong> on <a title="French Kicks on Vagrant" href="http://www.vagrant.com/artist/index/7" target="_blank">Vagrant</a>, <a title="French Kicks website" href="http://www.frenchkicks.com/" target="_blank">frenchkicks.com</a><br />
I burned through all of French Kick&#8217;s albums this year but was stuck on <em>Swimming</em>, their latest release.  The first song &#8220;Abandon&#8221; is maybe one of the best jumps into an album, with bright guitars, deep bass, clapping, and the dulcet voice of Matt Stinchcomb.  I think it&#8217;s one of those albums that is burdened by it&#8217;s past, comparisons to their post-punk debut &#8220;One Time Bells&#8221; or the shimmering electronics of &#8220;Two Thousand&#8221; somehow undo what I feel is an album that can stand well on it&#8217;s own.  And I wonder, if the weight of the past was lifted, would we be more receptive to let <em>Swimming</em> soar?</p>

I feel like I can address that wonderful album <em>The Cold Nose</em>.  When they were known as &#8220;Whitey on the Moon UK&#8221;, their approach is freer, consuming abandon of The Beta Band and downing it with a good dose of trip-hop. In&#8221;Gravity&#8217;s Greatest Victory / Rex Snorted Coke,&#8221; Rossen&#8217;s beautiful pipes are still there, but now we can gleam the 50s scifi-beatnics at their finest.  On their rarities album, songs are overdubbed with both whimsy and what makes &#8220;In Ear Park&#8221; so beautiful.  On a live performance of &#8220;Sailing by Night&#8221; we are introduced to &#8220;Señor Buttmerge&#8221; and a &#8220;Cat named Johnny Glaze&#8221; who &#8220;knows his ways around all the public bathrooms / always has a cookie in his pocket.&#8221; Yeah. All over the Rossen harmonies that make us think of the Beatles.</p>

<p><strong>07. Beck</strong> on <a title="Um, DGC" href="http://www.interscope.com/beck" target="_blank">Geffen/DGC/Interscope</a>, <a title="Beck's Official Site" href="http://www.beck.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">beck.com</a><br />
What can I say about Beck that isn&#8217;t already covered.  I bought the Deluxe Reissue of <em>Odelay</em>.  <em>Modern Guilt</em> was better than <em>The Information</em> but still not as good as <em>Guero</em>. I wished that I had bought <em>Midnight Vultures</em> when it came out in &#8216;99, I think 10 years has aged it pretty well tho. I&#8217;ll still buy Beck albums and one of these days I&#8217;ll make it to The Echo for one of his free shows (I hope!)</p>
<p><strong>08. The Smiths</strong> on <a title="Rough Trade" href="http://www.roughtrade.com/" target="_blank">Rough Trade</a>,  <a title="Rereleased on Rhino" href="http://www.rhino.com/store/ProductDetail.lasso?Number=516016" target="_blank">Rhino</a><br />
I love the Smiths.  I love mexi-goths for their love of Morrisey.  I bought the Singles Box set for the <a title="Hand in Glove (butt)" href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&#38;sku=256111" target="_blank">dirty</a> <a title="Singles &#34;BOX&#34; set" href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&#38;sku=306775" target="_blank">pictures</a> &#8212; uh, original cover art.  There are <a title="New Order Three Singles" href="http://reidmix.wordpress.com/2006/08/03/new-order-three-singles/">a few songs</a> that illicit such a precise feeling in my adolescence the way that &#8220;How Soon Is Now?&#8221; does.  The late discovery of &#8220;Jeane,&#8221; I swear it sounds familiar: &#8220;We tried and we failed.&#8221;  The tumble of the locks at the end of &#8220;Rusholme Ruffians&#8221; and all that walking home alone sums up my high school years so succinctly. Sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking I would like to mash every tooth in you head.</p>
<p><strong>09. Silje Nes</strong> on <a title="Silje Nes on FatCat" href="http://fat-cat.co.uk/fatcat/artist/silje+nes">FatCat</a>, <a title="Silje Nes MySpace page" href="http://www.myspace.com/siljenes" target="_blank">myspace.com/siljenes</a></p>
<p>I wish there was more Silje Nes in the world &#8212; I had to dig deep to find the NPR feature on &#8220;Shapes, Electric,&#8221; where the DJ is equally awestruck on how she composes this warbled little affair.  You feel deeply seated in between the ears and within the mind of Silje and just want to know <em>more</em>.  An <a title="Ames Room on Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ames_room" target="_blank">Ames Room</a>, a forced perspective illusion, is an appropriate metaphor for the album, where Silje can grow to unexpected sizes with that childlike singsong that make you want to ask along with NPR, &#8220;How&#8217;d she do that?&#8221;  It&#8217;s not all an experimental hodge-podge, i said before, it&#8217;s rooted and organic, subtle in its wash,  a stretching of cassette tape and static. The songs are like pills that&#8217;re easy to swallow, Alice-like and precocious. One of my top 3 in 2007 if I had heard it in 2007!</p>

Oh boy did I ever feel at home amongst my peeps at Coachella watching Love &#38; Rockets, the Bubblemen, missing Peter Murphy, and seeing the goth-glam-goth come full out and close the festival.  With Bauhaus, I have lived primarily on &#8220;1979-1983&#8243; Parts I &#38; II, &#8220;Swing the Heartache,&#8221;  &#8220;Crackle,&#8221; and somehow I never bought the originals.  Oh what a trip to listen to the songs in their original inception some wildly different, others right on par.  &#8220;<em>A </em><em>trick of the light</em> and <em>too much caffeine</em>, he thought.&#8221;</p>
