Alvin Lucier: I Am Sitting in a Room (1969)

Alvin Augustus Lucier Jr. (May 14, 1931 - December 1, 2021) was an American composer of experimental music and sound installations that explore acoustic phenomena and auditory perception. A long-time music professor at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, Lucier was a member of the influential Sonic Arts Union, which included Robert Ashley, David Behrman, and Gordon Mumma. Much of his work is influenced by science and explores the physical properties of sound itself: resonance of spaces, phase interference between closely tuned pitches, and the transmission of sound through physical media.

At nineteen, he signed the first cubo-futurist manifesto A Slap in the Face of Public Taste (1912) which proclaimed the right of poets "to extend the volume of vocabulary with arbitrary and de...

Program Notes “Time is the actual dimension in which music exists when performed and is by nature an infinitely divisible continuum. No metric system or notation based on metrics is able to indicate all of the possible points in the continuum, yet sound may begin or end anywhere along this dimension.” Similarly, all of the other characteristics of a sound - frequency, intensity, timbre, modes o...

Igor STRAVINSKY: Ragtime for Eleven Instruments

Переглядів 4463 роки тому

Written for 11 instruments (2 violins, viola, double bass, flute, clarinet, horn, cornet, trombone, cimbalom and percussion), its first performance was in a piano reduction played by Stravinsky. The cimbalom was a beloved instrument from Stravinsky’s childhood. Its distinct metallic sound places Stravinsky’s Ragtime very much in Europe, rather than being an American derivative. For Stravinsky, ...

The poet Vasily #Kamensky (1884-1961) was one of the founders of the movement that became Russian Futurism, an editor of the 1910 avant-garde miscellany Sadok Sudey, and the first person to publish Velimir Khlebnikov.

Duration: 20 min. "Fisher's most film, () (2003), succeeds astonishingly where Frampton's parallel effort, Hapax Legomena: Remote Control (1972) failed; it uses aleatory methods to release the narrative unconscious of a set of randomly selected films. () is made up entirely of "inserts" from feature films organized according to Oulipian principles. Inserts were usually shot by assistants when s...

"Aleph is an artist's meditation on life, death, mysticism, politics, and pop culture. In an eight-minute loop of film, Wallace Berman uses Hebrew letters to frame a hypnotic, rapid-fire montage that captures the go-go energy of the 1960s. Aleph includes stills of collages created using a Verifax machine, Eastman Kodak's precursor to the photocopier. These collages depict a hand-held radio that...
