State Music — Residency at Columbia University / Computer Music Center

I spent five weeks in NYC between March and April 2023. It was a fantastic opportunity to work at the Computer Music Center in New York. The CMC is the first electronic music studio in the USA and Seth Cluett was kind enough to let me continue my research in the best conditions.

During this stay I was able to compose two new pieces for my forthcoming debut album State Music. The first was recorded in Studio 324 on two very early versions of Buchla and Serge analogue modular systems and two Bode frequency shifters. The process was similar to what I had done at EMS Stockholm, Radio Belgrade, KSYME Athens and Willem Twee Studio in Den Bosch. I tried to adapt to the machines installed in the studio, tested a lot of patches and recorded many hours of textures, accidents and other sonic events using a variety of techniques. The editing, collaging, layering and mixing was done later in my studio. I just followed one rule. Don't use the same recording twice. No loops, nothing like that.

The second composition was recorded in Jace Clayton's office. Why? Because the RCA Mark II, considered one of the first music synthesizers ever, still sits in that room. The synth has been out of order since 1976, when someone broke into the Prentis Hall building and vandalised the machine. But I decided to make use of it anyway. I opened one of the office windows to let sounds from the city into the room and recorded the tiny vibrations caused by street noise with a geophone magnetised to the synthesizer. In this way the synthesiser essentially acted as a loudspeaker. A cheap recorder was placed near the window. Two wide cardioid microphones were placed in the middle of the room for a high quality recording. Most of the time I sit in front of the synthesizer and do nothing but listen, and every now and then I flip a switch, turn a potentiometer or unplug a patch cable to activate the acoustic space of the office and make the metal frame of the machine vibrate.

It was an amazing moment. I've been working on the State Music project since 2018. I realised that being in that room with that silent machine felt like achieving something. My understanding of electronic music history is much deeper. The links between early synthesizers and the military industry are now much clearer to me. State music? Corporate music? I don't know and it doesn't matter.

Here's an anecdote from The Enabling Instrument: Milton Babbitt and the RCA Synthesizer" a paper by Martin Brody.

When the Mark-I appeared in 1955, it was listed in the RCA Acoustics Laboratory inventory with a proud comparison: The synthesiser was 'second only to the Typhoon rocket simulator as the largest single assembly to come out of the David Sarnoff Research Center'. [Although the Mark-I was built to recreate a peaceful expression of human subjectivity rather than to obliterate a hostile and remote man-machine, its input/output components were as indifferent to the workings of the psyche as an anti-aircraft predictor.As Harry Olson recalled, to test their new machine, Olson and Belar followed Seashore's playbook of analysing past performances. The goal was not to expose the musical mind, but to simulate the sounds of acoustic instruments and human performers with the utmost precision.

I would like to thank Seth Cluett, Anna Meadors, Jace Clayton and Nick Patterson for their help.

Paper Movies

Joel Meyorwitz

Joel Meyerowitz, New York City, Times Square, 1963,

Be willing to go out into chaos and interact with moments.

Go out there and watch life and what people do physically.

Street photography is a way of learning to read your culture.

Responding to things and learning what they mean to you.

Boogie

Group Guns 1, Gangs, by Boogie

Have your camera with you at all times, you never know when something is going to happen.

When you are behind the camera you are not a participant, you are an observer.

It's about becoming what you are shooting.

The deeper you go, the better pictures you take.

After you die, you leave photography behind, like you become immortal.

Max Kozloff

I New York photographer have to take into account, noise, movement, combustion, energy and danger. To record a human setting.

Martha Cooper

Street Play, Martha Cooper.

Looking for public spaces, how people are using the space and surviving.

Preserving the spaces.

If she didn't photograph graffiti a lot of it would be lost.

Capture different backgrounds.

You capture something that might be of interest in the future.

With digital you should shoot everything

Jill Freedman

Street Cops, Jill Freedman

Wanted to capture what it meant being a good cop in New York City.

She had to be at the scene first to get the shot.

She worked at being invisible

"don't do the crime, don't get your picture taken"

It's a great privilege to take a great picture of someone.

It's the only tool that will stop time.

Jeff Mermelstein

Sidewalk Woman with Money in Mouth, Jeff Mermelstein

Loves photographing people, who they are and what they're doing.

The most exciting thing about street photography is the element of surprise.

He likes that people think his photography is funny.

His process is instinctual, when on the street.

You create your luck and there is a lot of work involved.

Taking pictures without permission causes problems.

Helen Levitt

Two old New Yorkers eating watermelon , 1971. Helen Levitt

She was able to conceal herself because of her size, her small camera and agile movement.

Rebecca Lepkoff

Group #2, Lower East Side, 1948, Rebecca Lepkoff

She photographed where people lived, how they lived and what they were doing, It was about humanity.

Space in photography has a lot to do with dance. The space you have on the stage.

The camera makes a document of how things are.

During the time of The Photo League, many great photographers came there to talk to people.

Clayton Patterson

Evolution of The Lower East Side, Clayton Patterson

New York had a class of people that he could identify with and he found the energy comforting.

He was consistent in photographing people outside his front door, his neighbourhood and put the pictures on his window.

He photographed street people.

"It's not about you as an individual, it's about you as a community"

Photography is about preserving the moment for the future, an activist tool and it gives you access to places.

He went to jail, because he didn't hand over video footage to the police.

He captured the social factor that most people overlook.

He wanted his work to be relevant and significant.

He's had confrontations, been beaten up by the police, cut and had his teeth knocked out.

Eliott Erwitt

"there are to many bad pictures in the world but there is always room for good ones"

Good pictures illuminate, entertain, amuse and make people feel.

"digital manipulation kills photography"

With digital photography, everybody can take an image, not everyone can take a good one.

Bruce David

He lived in his dark room.

All he cared about was taking pictures.

He gave his subjects his pictures, in return for privacy, and to make them more comfortable with him being there.

People are glad you're there to see them, because no-one is paying attention.

Bruce Gilden

He likes film noir and shadows

He photographs characters, people with striking detail.

He jumps into peoples faces with a flash to isolate them and to separate the background from the foreground.

He shows the stress, energy and anxiety of the city.

You can be invisible by being close, when you are close, sometimes people don't think you are taking their picture.

People in his pictures are symbols for what he sees, as an expression of the world.

Jamel Shabazz

He finds it difficult taking a picture without the person knowing. There is something magical about approaching a stranger and convincing them that you are sincere.

He uses his camera everyday.

He compliments his subjects first, gives them the print as a marketing tool.

He wanted to capture homelessness and prostitution.

Mary Ellen Mark

Attitude: Portraits, 1964–2015, Mary Ellen Mark.

She finds out when they are events and shoot around them

The hardest form of photography is street photography, because you have to think on your feet.

Doesn't believe in cropping but making the picture in camera.

Her goal is making iconic images

«MoMA Presents Ari Roussimoff’s

Shadows in the City

Oct 5–11, 2023

A story of suicidal obsession, conceived as a work of “contemporary horror,” Shadows in the City was the last major work of New York’s 1980s No Wave film scene. Shot over seven years in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, painter-performer Ari Roussimoff’s only fiction feature captures the urban desolation of the city in the decade before gentrification. This definitive work of “outsider cinema” boasts a who’s who of local cult figures, including Bruce Byron (star of Kenneth Anger’s Scorpio Rising), Taylor Mead, Annie Sprinkle, Joe Coleman, Nick Zedd, Kembra Pfahler, Valarie Caris, Catfish Hayes, Clayton Patterson, the Hell’s Angels, and, in their final screen appearances, Jack Smith and documentary filmmaker Emile de Antonio.

Following limited screenings at New York’s Millennium, Angelika, and Bleecker Street theaters, the film was presented as an “expanded cinema” event with live performance at the Limelight dance club in 1992, and later in Germany and the Netherlands, before disappearing when Roussimoff became “preoccupied with other things.” Out of circulation for 30 years, this original 16mm release print is being presented one last time before the Museum begins digital restoration.

Heavily influenced by the German Expressionist films Roussimoff saw at MoMA and in repertory screenings in the 1960s and ’70s, Shadows is a strung-out mashup of noir art film, Neorealism, and the carnivalesque that plays out in a series of scripted and improvised scenes. Upon its release, the Russian-born Roussimoff was dubbed “dean of the disenfranchised” by the underground press, with Downtown magazine describing Shadows as a “combination dagger-in-the heart and pie-in-the face of the official counter culture.” The film’s documentation of New York’s physical and cultural landscapes of the 1980s is more arresting now than ever.

On Thursday, October 5, Roussimoff and the film’s art director, Clayton Patterson, will present the screening in conjunction with the publication of Patterson’s In the Shadows: The People’s History of New York City Underground Tattooing.»
