Electronic music evokes new sensations, feelings, and thoughts in both composers and listeners. Composing Electronic Music outlines a new theory based on the powerful toolkit of electronic music techniques.
Avant Garde
Gertrude Stein and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead were unlikely friends who spent most of their mature lives in exile: Stein in France and Whitehead in the United States. Their friendship was based on a mutual admiration for the philosophical pragmatism of William James and skepticism toward the European tradition of intellectual abstraction extending as far back as Plato and Aristotle. Though neither was musical, both were leading exponents of a new orientation toward time and knowledge acquisition that would go on to influence succeeding generations of composers. Through Virgil Thomson, Stein came to influence John Cage and the New York school of abstract music; through his teaching in...
Inside Computer Music
Inside Computer Music is an investigation of how new technological developments have influenced the creative possibilities of composers of computer music in the last 50 years. This book combines detailed research into the development of computer music techniques with nine case studies that analyze key works in the musical and technical development of computer music. The book's companion website offers demonstration videos of the techniques used and downloadable software. There, readers can view interviews and test emulations of the software used by the composers for themselves. The software also presents musical analyses of each of the nine case studies to enable readers to engage with the musical structure aurally and interactively.
Xenakis – Back to the Roots
The electroacoustic works of the Greek-French composer Iannis Xenakis (1922-2001) captivate with their radical ideas, sounds and compositional models. They were often conceived as multimedia works for specific locations and architectures. The richness of the approaches and processes gave rise to an extensive body of sources. Therefore, this volume is particularly dedicated to a philological approach, combining contributions by companions of Xenakis and renowned experts in Xenakis research with studies in philology of electroacoustic music. It concludes with a roundtable discussion of the performance of these electroacoustic works, thus linking the philological questions back to musical practice.
From Xenakis's UPIC to Graphic Notation Today
From Xenakis's UPIC to Graphic Notation Today sheds light on the revolutionary UPIC system, developed by composer Iannis Xenakis in the late 1970s. This digital innovation enables the transformation of drawings into musical compositions and continues to shape the world of contemporary music notation. Freely available in open access, this book provides unrestricted access to the historical origins of UPIC and its evolution into modern notation techniques. Richly illustrated, it reveals the unique fusion of image and sound. Through QR codes, readers can experience the compositions interactively. IANNES XENAKIS (1922–2001) was not only a composer but also a visionary and a bridge-builder between music, mathematics, and architecture. Originally trained as an engineer in Athens, he developed innovative compositional techniques that integrate geometric and mathematical principles with music. His creation of the UPIC system established him as a pioneer of computer-assisted music, with an influence that extends into today's musical landscape. Often described as a "sound architect," Xenakis's unique approach and interdisciplinary works remain groundbreaking.
