Experimental Music: Cage and Beyond by Michael Nyman

Michael Nyman is a composer popularly known for his film scores for movies such as The Piano, Gattica and his collaborations with filmmaker Peter Greenway.

(Side note is you have someone who for some reason is still holding on to their Harry Potter fandom and you want to RUIN their thoughts about beloved Dumbledor. Have them watch Peter Greenway's The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover.)\

But before he paid the bills with film scores he spent some time in the Conceptual Avant Garde music scene of the 60's. This book is a firsthand account of his time in the conceptual and experimental art scene.

If you interest in music is a more historica, philosphical, conceptual and more academic you might like this book.

Men. I like men in this game.

the main reason i don't view 1980s music as "old" is because when I think of music I think of classical composers and classical composers from time are guys like stockhausen (labelled modernist) and people today are indeed still not ready for Guys Like Stockhausen. to me old music is like. bach. stockhausen is more like a gen z there

I love him ❤️🍄

[latrodectus-mactans-85085]

I have often been reproached—especially recently—for being too candid, and through this making not a few enemies for myself—being undiplomatic. … It must be admitted: I am not gifted as an esotericist, not as a mystic or a hermit, and not as a diplomat; it corresponds that my love of my fellow humans expresses itself in candour … I hope my enemies will not on this account destroy me; I also hope my enemies find forms of retort that I can find richly fanciful, witty, pertinent, instructive—that grant me respect through a noble and truly humane form of enmity.

The cradles of electronic music part 10

(excerpt from my e-book “New Concepts for Music and Sound”: https://www.dev.rofilm-media.net/node/537)

One of the “backbone” devices in the studio of electronic music of the WDR broadcasting station in Cologne, Germany was the Tieftone Generator.

The perhaps most famous user of this generator is Karlheinz Stockhausen. In his piece “Kontakte” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XWNR_TcPFI) he used this Tieftone Generator for producing structure (it can be used as an LFO with cycle lenghts up to 10 seconds) as well as for modulations (it goes up to 1.1 kHz).

“Kontakte” is a piece for electronics, piano and percussion. In the performance two solists (a pianist and a percussionist) play live together with the pre-recorded electronic parts coming from a tape.

According to Stockhausen the name “Kontakte” means the contact between the human performance and the fixed electronic music from the tape, and builds a symbiosis between these seemingly contrary worlds.

It also means the contact of the audience with so far unknown sounds and completely new kinds of musical compositions (Stockhausen says).

In “Kontakte” the principles of “classic” serial music are translated into electronic music and expanded from mere tone/pitch related rules to the realm of timbre, sound and spectra.

A more detailed description and explanation of “Kontakte” is given here: http://stockhausenspace.blogspot.com/2015/11/kontakte-planning-design.html.

Please let me say a little “warning”: in the blogspot article, which is very interesting and helpful otherwise, they mention the compositional element of “moments”. Stockhausen has written and lectured about the structural element of a “moment” a lot (I have found only some of it on the Internet unfortunately, but I write a bit more about it in my e-books about generative music - https://www.dev.rofilm-media.net/node/331). The kind of definition of a structural “moment” given in the blogspot article is a bit too much “compacted” and destilled down, I think.

The Tieftone Generator is also one of the devices in the software Berna 3.
