- 1DemocratisationAnyone can produce music, regardless of their instrumental skill.
- 2ModernismFocusing on a single trajectory of progress (whereas today we celebrate performers of all different forms).
- 3Musique concrèteAssociated with Pierre Schaeffer (Groupé Recherche Musicale was initially led by him).
Uses montages of sound.
Based in Paris (RTF).
Primarily uses sampling. - 4Elektrönische musicSynthesised sounds.
Pseudo-scientific creation and organisation.
Associated with Stockhausen and 1952-1970.
Originated in Köln (WDR) from technological interests in synthesised speech in 1940s
Nurtured in Darmstadt summer courses for new music (1950-) - 5Sonic landscapeNew sound environments. Documentary/dramatic approach. Associated with Luc Ferrari and Trevor Wishart.
- 6Computer musicComputer application to all processes of composition.
Originated in late 1950s US.
Most preliminary work done by public funds (units and institutes) in 50s/60s
1980s+ digital devices aimed at commercial and home users
Bell labs (New Jersey) - 7Electroacoustic musicGeneric term for all 4 strands when they began to converge in the mid 1980s. Differentiated art music from pop.
- 8Acousmatic musicCompositional asthetic as well as listening strategy (otherwise similar to musique concrète).
- 9Sound recording and samplingTaking what is already there (aural ‘photography’).
- 10Sequencing soundsRe-ordering sounds by way of editing and ‘montage’.
- 11Reduced listeningA theme common in Schaeffer's work and radiophonic art. You listen to sound content as music.
- 12SolfègeTheory
- 13Anecdotal electronic musicDeveloped by Luc Ferrari
Mimesis
Related to acoustic ecology
Aural equivalent of natural photography
Origins of sound are foregrounded - 14MimesisProcess of evoking a context via sound e.g: manipulating musical structure to make it anecdotal.
- 15Acoustic ecologyFocuses on relationship between us and the environment.
- 16WDRWestdeutscher Rundfunk
West German Broadcasting - 17Algorithmic compositionMostly instrumental music that's used a computer to work out a compositional sequence of algorithms or algorithms.
- 18Live processingMusic with computer controlled live signal processing.
- 19Physical modellingAnalysis/resynthesis of real sounds. Allows for morphing.
- 20Mixed electroacoustic musicLive instruments performed alongside fixed medium (allows complete control over important musical features e.g: tape)
Engage with new tech in contemporary chamber music
Believed to be more accessible to audiences
Live element provides a specific focus
E.g: Kotakte for piano, percussion and tape - 21Ghost imagesA compositional strategy of mixed electroacoustic works
Recorded versions of same instrument - 22Acousmatic approachA compositional strategy of mixed electroacoustic works
Sound sources from instrumental sounds to assist in timbral fusion - 23Orchestral approachA compositional strategy of mixed electroacoustic works
Linked more to aesthetics of early computer music - 24Live electronicsSound transformations occur in real time
In the context of electro-acoustic music
May include traditional and/or non traditional instruments transformed in some way
Scored or partially or wholly improvised
Laptop improv - 25Expanded sound worldClose mic technique similar to mixed works
Mikrophonie (1964)
7 Pages by Whitty
Used in pop music e.g: Kaki King's guitar style - 26Live transformationEssentially ornamental
E.g: addition of reverb, delays etc. to composed works
Boulez Repons (1981) - 27Improvised worksLive instruments. Performers process/trigger sound as part of interactive performance
- 28Interactive worksPerformer actions affect output by mapping of data collected by mic/sensor.
- 29AI techniquesComputer-based, score following
