He also founded the Montreal String Quartet. Otto Joachim - composer, violist, teacher, electronic music pioneer, instrument builder, painter and one of the sharpest wits in musical Montreal -died late Friday at the Jewish General Hospital, less than three months short of his 100th birthday. His son Davis Joachim said the cause was heart failure. One of scores of refugees from Nazi Germany who revitalized music in Canada, this native of Dusseldorf, Germany, arrived in Montreal in 1949 after working for more than 15 years as a musician in Singapore and Shanghai, including a stint at the Raffles Hotel in the former city. While in the Orient, he had also worked in electronics shops repairing radios and other equipment. He had continued to experiment with building electronic instruments, something had been doing in Germany starting around 1929. Outstaying his Canadian visitor visa -his ultimate destination was supposed to be Brazil -Joachim worked at an electronics shop while waiting out the mandatory year of residence then required by the Montreal Musicians' Guild. His interest in gadgetry never left him. It was not unusual in the 21st century to find a disassembled computer on the dining table of his home in Cote St. Luc. During the 1970s, he was the Canadian distributor of EMS (England -- Synthi etc) equipment, selling equipment to composers, rock bands and even the RCMP. (They bought two vocoders.) When he finally secured a section position in the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, Joachim found the erratic standards difficult to abide. "The MSO consisted of old and young, but few young ones and quite a few tolerated ones," he recalled last October, a few days before his 99th birthday. "The conductor was not strong enough to kick them out." As principal viola under the energetic young music director Zubin Mehta in the mid-1960s, however, Joachim became one of the pillars of the orchestra, along with his cellist brother, the late Walter Joachim. He also founded (with Walter and the violinists Hyman Bress and Mildred Goodman) the Montreal String Quartet, which performed contemporary music (including Joachim's own First String Quartet) as well as standard repertoire. It made a notable recording of Glenn Gould's String Quartet and, with Gould, Brahms's Piano Quintet. Joachim's activities from the 1950s to the 1970s were as varied as those of any musician in the world. As a composer, he was unabashedly atonal and avant-garde, employing serialism, exploiting the possibilities of chance in music, and being actively involved in live interactive electronics. His personal electronic music studio was the third in Canada, the first being at the University of Toronto. Yet in the 1950s Joachim also founded the Montreal Consort of Ancient Instruments, years before early music was in vogue. Many of the instruments in this ensemble, including portative organs, were of his own manufacture. Like another central European Jewish composer exiled by politics, Arnold Schoenberg, Joachim also cultivated a pastime as a painter of expressionistic and hard-edge canvases. In his 70s, he took up sculpture for a period of time but stopped when it became clear to him that welding in his basement was much too hazardous and could shorten his life. Joachim taught chamber music at both McGill University and the Montreal Conservatoire, adding notoriously earthy French to his repertoire of languages. He is an Honorary Member of the Canadian Electroacoustic Community / Communaut? ?lectroacoustique Canadienne (CEC), and received an Honorary Doctorate from Concordia University, Montreal in 1993. In 1996, the Concordia University Music Department named its multi-channel studio, The Otto Joachim Production Studio. As a composer, he had a notable success with Katimavik, a work on four-track tape commissioned by the Canadian Pavilion at Expo 67. Around then also he travelled to New York for a performance of his Contrastes. There he met Elliott Carter, born in 1908 and in recent years Joachim's only elder among living composers of note. Unlike Carter, Joachim did not mellow much in his 80s and 90s. In Stacheldraht (Barbed Wire), a 1993 commission by the Societe de musique contemporaine du Quebec, Joachim confronted the Holocaust in a stark style. His Metamorphoses of 1994, a firmly atonal but bracingly clear essay for orchestra, was premiered by the Orchestre Metropolitain under Joseph Rescigno and revived in 2006 by the MSO under Jacques Lacombe. "It's about 13 minutes," the composer said about Metamorphoses, "which is long enough for any piece. Not that I would say Mahler and Bruckner were wrong to write longer pieces. That was their right. I am only a newcomer." In recent years, his failing eyesight restricted his composition, but not his music appreciation. Joachim was an avid listener to the radio and recordings, showing a special interest last year in the music of Bach. "He is not superhuman: He produced 20 children He's pretty human, no? Or he was superhuman to do that?" Funeral arrangements were not finalized at press time. -- Communaut? ?lectroacoustique canadienne (CEC) Canadian Electroacoustic Community eContact! 12.3 Instrument--Interface http://cec.concordia.ca/econtact/12_3 http://econtact.ca | http://sonus.ca | http://cec.concordia.ca/jttp http://facebook.com/cec.sonus From dwnewman at clara.co.uk Tue Aug 3 15:09:28 2010 From: dwnewman at clara.co.uk (David Newman) Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2010 20:09:28 +0100 Subject: [microsound-announce] Endless Endless - v6 Message-ID: http://www.audiobulb.com/endless/index.html Endless Endless provides an ever expanding organic arrangement space.

Its wide scope, powerful language and optimised sound engine has attracted people from all fields working in areas from composition to machine listening to data sonification. In this three day workshop, participants will get up and running with the cutting-edge audio synthesis and music programming language SuperCollider. The workshop will be split into three parts: synthesis, generative composition, and system design (such as interfaces and installations). The workshop is beginner level and participants should bring their own computers with SuperCollider installed. SuperCollider is cross platform and free, to be downloaded here: http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/downloads Thor Magnusson is a musician/writer/programmer working in the fields of music and generative art. His PhD from the University of Sussex focused on computer music interfaces from the perspective of semiotics, phenomenology and cognitive science.

Utilizing hardware synths and drum machines, as well as studio musicians (real people playing real instruments) and field recordings, Atman's compositions cover a wide range of styles and genres from modern minimalist grooves to techno-inspired beat driven. Instead of trying to describe it in detail I figured it would be better to let some other people speak about it. "Good electronic music is definitely hard to find these days - and the kind of glacial precision RJ Valeo puts into his work makes his just about as good as it gets. 'Atman' is purist, analogue synthesizer fetishism but composed with valeo's keen ear for sound design and texture, and most importantly his head for serious grinding rhythms. Don't even think of missing out." *-- John (Xela) Twells, Owner Type Records * "... The sheer quality of sound and all the creative details that have gone into shaping the album are on show for all to hear, and Atman certainly makes absorbing usage of cutting edge technology, surfing through pristine drones on the introductory 'Chasm', before warping guitars and bowed strings out of shape for the cinematic follow-up 'Safe Harbour'. There's a sudden directional shift for the ace rhythmic track, 'Through The Noise', which has a close run-in with the sort of immaculate glitch sounds you'd hear on Raster Noton. Opening up a little, 'The Whole Truth' and 'Richter Scale 6' launch into a kind of abstract techno mould, reminding you that Valeo is also an accomplished dancefloor producer under his Isomer Transition guise. There are more great beats towards the end of the album too, all breathing life into ear-cleansing, panoramic soundscapes - each [composition] using every nook and corner of the mix for great headphone listening. First class electronica from this seasoned and inventive producer." *-- Boomkat, Online Music Retailer * *Please listen to Atman on soundcloud, and purchase a copy at one of these fine digital retailers.* *iTunes| Amazon| Emusic| Beatport| Boomkat * Also, if you can spare a mouse click or two, please 'like' my artist page over on Facebook, follow me on twitter, and visit transelectronic.net. A little clickity-click really goes a long way to show artists that you appreciate and support what they are doing. Thanks so much for your ever-so-valuable time (and mouse clicks)! All the best, RJ Valeo a/k/a Isomer Transitio -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The first episode, entitled 'Continue', is already available online: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/research MP3 file: http://bit.ly/aWyOYM 'Continue' investigates how music can be generated using a wide range of techniques. These range from very simple procedural systems, such as Mika Vainio's 'Twin Bleebs' which features two repeating events going in and out of phase, to David Tudor's 'Neural Synthesis No.9' ? a more complex electronic system which explores indeterminacy through the emulation of neural activity. The programme also looks at music which has been composed using formal geometric and mathematical rules, for example: Martin Neukom's 'Studie 18' and Thomas Brinkmann's '27 Fibonacci Numbers in a Binary Chain'.

The sessions will last 4 hours per day (2 afternoons) and are open to 8 participants maximum. The costs are 30 euros per person. Description (excerpt): The workshop is based on making a series of listening and soundwalk exercises in the public spaces of Berlin to use as material for creating different types of maps. Participants from a diverse range of disciplines are encouraged to join (Art, Architecture, Music, Performance, Design, the Social Sciences etc.). No previous experience in working with sound is necessary. Please bring a pen, pencil and notebook. John Grzinich has been conducting his own forms of sound research for over 15 years, including field recording, kinetic sculptures, electro-acoustic composition, performance, group workshops and exercises in listening. Currently he lives in Estonia and works as a program and media lab coordinator for MoKS, a non-profit artist-run center. He has published CDs of his sound works on international labels such as: SIRR, Staalplaat, Mystery Sea, Erewhon, Intransitive, Cut, Elevator Bath, CMR, Orogenetics, Prele Records and others. *inscriptions are now open,* *please write to workshop at staalplaat.com* ** complete info plus links at http://staalplaat.wordpress.com/2010/08/19/17-19-september-sound-mapping-a-workshop-by-john-grzinich/ have a great week, Rinus -- http://staaltape.wordpress.com From julian.percy at gmx.de Sun Aug 22 12:05:16 2010 From: julian.percy at gmx.de (julian percy) Date: Sun, 22 Aug 2010 18:05:16 +0200 Subject: [microsound-announce] NK UPCOMING WORKSHOPS Message-ID: <20100822160516.317850@gmx.net> NK Workshops Sept 2010 iPhone/iPod Touch instrument Friday 10/09/10 11:00-19:00UHR As this workshop is supported by Culture Lab, Newcastle University it is Free to attend. Subscribe early to get a place. Transform your iThing into a personalised sensor instrument! This one-day workshop is intended to give people the skills to develop their own personalized sensor instruments on the iThing, without the need to purchase a developers license, learn much coding or ?jailbreak' their phone. The iPhone is well known as an iconic object of desire in our society of consumption. The use of these ubiquitous iThings is tightly controlled by Apple, who only allow certain apps to be allowed onto the market. Developing apps requires a grasp of programming that most people don't have, and the purchasing of a developer's license from Apple. Most of the existing musical apps are somewhat inflexible, trapping the user within someone else's idea of musical expression. Mostly, it plays music as a commodity, and this is the way most listeners interact with it: it's potential remains unrealized. However, we believe that the iPhone offers a new paradigm in post-laptop digital performance, and the workshop will give people the tools to begin unlocking this potential. The accelerometers which typically serve as tilt sensors to rotate photos allow high precision capture of the performer's gestures. The multitouch screen, otherwise used for scrolling and pinch-zooming text, becomes a reconfigurable graphic user interface akin to the JazzMutant Lemur. The fact that all system components - sensor input, signal processing and sound synthesis, and audio output, are embodied in a single device make it very different than the typical controller + laptop model for digital music performance. The workshop will suit people of multiple abilities. Those with no experience of using Pure Data will still be able to modify existing patches and turn them into sensor instruments, which is a great gateway into learning Pure Data itself. Those with knowledge and experience of how to use Pure Data will quickly be able to design their own patches and run them on the iPhone. We'll make sure that everyone goes away knowing where to look on the web for further help and support amongst the large online communities already using Pure Data. Workshop Leader Adam Parkinson is a musician based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, interested in the embodied nature of musical experiences. His musical practice ranges from avant garde discopop to glitchy electronica and textural improvisations. He has had releases on Noodles, Entr'acte, Mutate Records and others, and has done remixes for Si Begg, Cakeboy and Dextro. He has given similar workshops in Portugal, and has experience teaching and lecturing on subjects ranging from postmodern discourses on popular musics to sample editing and beat production. Since discovering the potential of the iPhone, he's closed his laptop and been relying on iPhones as the main instrument for improvising solo and in groups. He performs in a duo with Atau Tanaka, both using two iPhones running granular synthesisers. Atau and Adam have performed at the FutureEverything Festival in Manchester, the New York Electronica Arts Festival and the PixelAche Festival in Helsinki.

PURE DATA CRAZY A/V MACHINES With Oscar Martin & Luca Carruba Monday to Saturday September 27th-October 2nd 12:00-16:00 The aim of this workshop is to learn simple programming strategies for the creation of audio/video software tools for live performances. Generative or interactive piece of software that let artist creates and controls a video stream or an audio processing in real time. During the workshop we will use Pure Data, a free (as a bird and as a beer) graphical programming language particularly focused on the processing of audio and video data in real time. Pure data is a tool for artists whom wants experiment with a different creation pattern, with a freedom to build from the scratch they own instruments or interactive installation. You dont need to be a programmer to begin to build your tool. In 5-6 days long workshop you will learn the basis of language, how to manipulate or create a video and how to play with audio. At the end of the workshop all participants will play in a jam session together in the Lab space or exhibit their prototypes. Workshop Leaders: Luca Carruba graduated summa cum laude in Sociology of Communication, Luca Carrubba has worked for 5 years under the new media field as artist and independent researcher. Formed between institutional and underground medialabs in Barcelona and Madrid, he focus its production on the interaction between audio and video, always share the practices and codes. Based its action on certain keywords like DIY (do it yourself), knowledge sharing, accessibility, recycling and social movements. Also participated in many workshops to spread free software/technology/culture among Italy, Spain, England, Germany, France, Argentina, Brazil, Palestine and China. He is now professor of new technologies for art in Libera Accademia delle Belle Arti, Brescia, Italy. http://www.estereotips.net/ www.estereotips.net/qeve/ www.gemq.info Oscar Martin holds a Fine Arts degree from the Universidad Politecnica of Valencia, specializing in Sculpture and Audiovisual Media. That is where he came into contact with sound art through Leopoldo Amigo y Bartolom?? Ferrando. A sound explorer, he bases his work on the deconstruction of field recordings and the creative use of technology errors. Luthier-digital with a pure data environment, which he uses to develop his own experimental tools for processing and real time algorithmic- generative composition. He can be placed somewhere between Computer Music, the Aesthetics of Error, and generative Noise. He seeks the creation of virtual sound universes, imaginary soundscapes that encourage active listening and a different sensibility toward the perception of sound phenomena. He works under the open source paradigm.

Their collective work focuses on custom-built instruments and indeterminate notation, incorporating situational, playful approaches to performance while generating exploratory sonic spaces. Electronic instrumentation comingles with structures and forms rooted in the acoustic realm of improvisation: look for beats elsewhere, this material is more about sound's relationship to negative space than pattern and rhythm. A multitude of approaches and scenarios makes each track on their debut album a fresh experience, its own uniquely impermanent world. Thanks for listening.

See/hear you in Porto (and in the ether) in October ! paulo raposo From toni at opere.com Thu Aug 26 22:14:47 2010 From: toni at opere.com (Antonio Della Marina) Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2010 04:14:47 +0200 Subject: [microsound-announce] A VISTA! / EYE SIGHT Performance of futuristic marine sounds Message-ID: <24E5AFAE-746E-4962-9214-407328338BB9@opere.com> ?A VISTA? / ?EYE SIGHT? Performance of futuristic marine sounds for tug foghorns, words lost in the wind and live electronics Sunday, september 5th 2010 h10.30pm Trieste city seafront, Trieste (IT) Poems by Anna Achmatova, Tullio Crali, Gabriele D?Annunzio, Nikolaj Gumil?v, Vladimir Majakovskij, Osip ?mil?evi? Mandel??tam, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Silvio Mix, Sofronio Pocarini By and with Antonio Della Marina, Marco Maria Tosolini and Franco Giannelli An original, really progressive performance, in which some musicians and speakers, on a number of boats at anchor in front of the Harbour Master?s headquarters, will sound the tug sirens following a score expressly composed by Antonio Della Marina and Marco Maria Tosolini. All this admiring the amazing amphitheatre which is the city seafront (in the section between Molo Audace and Pier Four of the Old Port). From the land these musical tones will be picked up by a microphone, re-worked by using live electronic techniques and bounced back to Trieste Gulf. The result will be a close, deep dialogue between land and sea, as well as between hosts and guests, travellers and piers. On the days following the exhibition a four channel audio-installation at the Stazione Rogers will broadcast the recorded performance. The helpful genius of some of the regional representatives of the futurist movement (such as Crali, Pocarini and Mix) together with the most important national futurist artist (Marinetti) will be employed. The happy foolishness of Gabriele D?Annunzio and the tragic courage of the most distinguished Russian poets, such as Achmatova, Gumil?v, Majakovskij, Mandel??tam, etc., will also be included. These vibrant Italian and Russian voices, victims of the brutal Stalinist repression, will alternate. These historical avant-gardes, bouncing towards the open sea, will be left free to chase one another among the water columns, fired from the tug-pumps and the searchlights on land? The voices - once repressed ? will sound free like the free spontaneous art of their creators, free like the wide and unbound sea in front of Trieste. The re-enactment of harmonies, created once in Kronstadt, will find new life here on our shores and express again the serene strength of a re-invented ?concert for tug foghorns?. Hopefully, this will be a happy revival of the event put on stage in winter 1921 in Kronstadt Harbour near St. Petersburg, in the presence of Lunakarskij, the enlightened Minister for Education and Culture of the first period of the Soviet Rule. In fact, during the first two months of 1921, Kronstadt was the focus of a commune, led by its Soviet, opposed to the concentration of power in hands of Bolsheviks after the October revolution.

We accept bookings from now on via our vimeo address and my mail address. Though in the first place, I'm hoping you'll like the experience provided by the two trailers you can find on our vimeo page: http://vimeo.com/resonantia Good greetings, Andr?s Hargitai Bitlab Records/Cod From dwnewman at clara.co.uk Mon Aug 30 05:05:56 2010 From: dwnewman at clara.co.uk (David Newman) Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2010 10:05:56 +0100 Subject: [microsound-announce] Resonating Wires | Autistici Reworked Message-ID: Resonating Wires started as one vibrating wire from an acoustic guitar, captured, sculptured and morphed into a buzzing pad of noise. This unique remix album sees the process start again via the reinterpretation of the material by an array of talented ambient & microsound artists, including works by: * Simon Scott * Bluermutt * Sawako * Jimmy Behan * Francisco Lopez * Isan * Justin Varis * Ian Hawgood & Danny Norbury * Richard Chartier * He Can Jog The album contains much beauty and diversity and has received some great reviews: Headphone Commute: "Resonating Wires is an excellent compilation of minimal, experimental and electro-acoustic soundscapes that stands high on the shoulders of contemporary reductionist giants." Vital Weekly: "A varied compilation indeed, but its in this variation that there is beauty. A great remix compilation: a fine example of possibilities. A rare thing!" The CD comes in a beautiful digipak gatefold with resonating spiral designs.
