Denis Smalley is one of Britain’s foremost exponents of acousmatic music, and a voice of international influence in both music and words. In marking his 65th year (2011), this issue aims to re-evaluate and extend the ideas and issues raised Denis Smalley’s music and writings, to develop their connections with the work of others, and the UK. It will focus especially, but not exclusively, on theoretical writings such as ‘Spectromorphology and Structuring Processes’ (1986), ‘Defining Timbre – Refining Timbre’ (1994), ‘Space-Form and the Acousmatic Image’ (2007), and on the influence of Smalley’s musical output. New analyses will be welcomed, especially those which seek to apply or evaluate Smalley’s theoretical ideas through analysis of his music or that of other composers or the development of future analytical tools. Naturally, there will be a focus on acousmatic music, although music with live instruments will not be excluded since it also features in Smalley’s output.</span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> </span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Deadline: June 15, 2010</span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><a href="http://e2ma.net/go/6630848800/208144880/211959085/1406133/goto:http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayMoreInfo?jid=OSO&type=ifc" target="_blank">http://journals.cambridge.org/<wbr>action/displayMoreInfo?jid=<wbr>OSO&type=ifc</a></span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> </span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">*</span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> </span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><strong>1st Biennial in Music Composition and Education</strong></span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> </span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">The Department of Music of the School of Arts - College of Philosophy and Humanities of the National University of Córdoba, Argentina intive you to participate in our 1st Biennial in Music Composition and Education that will take place in our University Campus Pabellon CEPIA and MEJICO on 1-2-3 September 2010.</span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> </span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Deadline: June 30, 2010</span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><a href="http://e2ma.net/go/6630848800/208144880/211959086/1406133/goto:http://www.cordobabienal.tk/" target="_blank">http://www.cordobabienal.tk/</a></span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> </span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">*</span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> </span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><strong>Leonardo Journal: Nanotechnology, Nanoscale Science and Art</strong></span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> </span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">2011 is the International Year of Chemistry!

A musical instrument is not, or at least not only, a physical object, but has properties which emerge through use or expectation (programming). A systemic understanding of performance activity might usefully enhance our understanding of the interpenetrations and feedback systems which exist between apparently disparate component parts. As we move into a musical world where we can intervene digitally in the performance ecosystem we open up possibilities for new formulations of and relationships between the ‘components’, whether by accessing ‘distant’ or virtual audiences/environments, or by combining physical and virtual elements in an unforeseen manner.</span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> </span></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Music has always drawn on other disciplines and ways of modelling the world for metaphors which expand its resources both sonically, as organised sound, and socially, as human activity.

Heat Crate is going pretty well so far, despite my technological difficulties (a demo version of live that won't let me save or use plugins). My solution so far has been to just make everything really, really loud because in my crate crazed mind, the sound of everything peaking all of the time is a pretty neat effect. The reverb we got in the stairwell was also a pretty neat effect. Virtually everything I've done so far I would probably broadly class as industrial (just like the last milkcrate I did). Thematically it's pretty much all about volcanoes.invisible prisonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04164155898399094555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26091313.post-60749080576696994172008-12-09T22:37:00.002+10:302008-12-09T22:59:41.370+10:30[#28] Halfway Report<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTZo55EiFMKp4HRYzkmDzLixytPGmUxrpwcaHjwfpytFjE09ssxrQLiNaLlO_dblaRAcg9SWkWJLwOXu5ZDdIXwRuW9lwzaLChOynb52q7FgzJsBD5vp9JWH28g7jv-S38nKQE/s1600-h/100_7743.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTZo55EiFMKp4HRYzkmDzLixytPGmUxrpwcaHjwfpytFjE09ssxrQLiNaLlO_dblaRAcg9SWkWJLwOXu5ZDdIXwRuW9lwzaLChOynb52q7FgzJsBD5vp9JWH28g7jv-S38nKQE/s400/100_7743.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277766481161569042" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWjD9X2OaOV1RUmP8gfJ9YwGMOmcEs7VsITr1EQNPwyL_5fCZI_EfdgTKz0WcPghdC3aGhbSHke8eKkzv_Oe1TcOBg5ElY3LOEJCITgrfsAa1a9tqDxnDuNbjNsrLQIoH66lGy/s1600-h/100_7742.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWjD9X2OaOV1RUmP8gfJ9YwGMOmcEs7VsITr1EQNPwyL_5fCZI_EfdgTKz0WcPghdC3aGhbSHke8eKkzv_Oe1TcOBg5ElY3LOEJCITgrfsAa1a9tqDxnDuNbjNsrLQIoH66lGy/s400/100_7742.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277766476302649026" border="0" /></a><br />All is going well here in the land of 'crate.<br /><br />We spent the first three or four hours of this crate collectively sampling and choosing objects and sounds out of the ones that we had all brought.<br /><br />For objects that we could record indoors (ie. those with zero fire hazard), we set up a large diaphragm condenser in a tiled room - the room itself adds a bit of nice sound as well. There was quite a bit of background noise because of the air conditioning vents and about 16 or 17 computers with their fans on, but our samples were still useable.<br /><br />So each person would come up with their objects (except for me - because the only thing I brought along is a box of matches) and then record some material from their chosen objects. I was manually riding the input gain to try and maximise our effective dynamic range and manage the already unmanageable environment noise.<br /><br />For objects and actions that we could not record indoors (ie. those with some fire hazard), David and I went over to the park next to the parade grounds. Here we used a portable recorder with a shirt as a wind shield and recorded a few useable samples.<br /><br />Some of the highlights of the samples have included:<br />• some party poppers (courtesy of david)<br />• a toaster (courtesy of jordan)<br />• a heatsink (courtesy of jesse)<br />• some butane and a gas-powered soldering iron (courtesy of justin)<br /><br />As I've said the only thing I brought was the box of matches (others brought the same or similar items too of course).<br /><br />All in all, we have about 6 or 7 minutes of samples (after editing and splicing) which is actually a huge sample bank for any milkcrate. There are probably well over 80 or 90 individual events contained in our samples, which is nice. However, almost all of the sounds are really very percussive, somewhat limiting the source timbres we can use for melodic / pitched music material.<br /><br />For the most part, people seem to using a combination of Live and ProTools, often in tandem rewired together.<br /><br />Jordan and Justin have been working on a dance track that makes use of Justin's new Kaos Pad 3. Jesse has been working on an ambient track and David has been making a number of highly distorted and loud works. Unfortunately, his computer only has a demo of Live running on it so he is unable to save his projects, forcing him to work very quickly, constantly in fear of crashing.<br /><br />As for me, I've somewhat formalised some of the things I've been doing in the last few milkcrates. I have thus far only used my very short sample of me striking a match. I have written 15 tracks, but my self-imposed limitation is that <span style="font-style: italic;">every</span> track I make has been and will be one minute in length <span style="font-style: italic;">exactly</span>. This may sound easy but I've been finding it more and more difficult as the day progresses.<br /><br />To some degree, perhaps it's an exploration of 'pop' music sounds and structures as sound objects in their own right, something with their own weight and mass to be considered a single event. I'm not sure. I've been going for more than twelve hours, so I'm not even sure if that sentence makes any sense or not.<br /><br />Wish us luck as we slip into the night...<br /><br />- sebUnknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26091313.post-91845730967175959812008-12-09T19:57:00.002+10:302008-12-09T19:58:11.335+10:30[#28] The Struggle Continues<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZCWdDArRr__Lov1E7DeYDqtHl0Hv0SEIFGSGUFBGi6qowGALPS-4FuPV-GkpdXpkJZHdis1lyfrMbGLL8K4-DKwp3HHK_10XxDKzFdbLRqnsjSBbH3-b1buwxfaWsYl1NqRyC/s1600-h/100_7697.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 317px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZCWdDArRr__Lov1E7DeYDqtHl0Hv0SEIFGSGUFBGi6qowGALPS-4FuPV-GkpdXpkJZHdis1lyfrMbGLL8K4-DKwp3HHK_10XxDKzFdbLRqnsjSBbH3-b1buwxfaWsYl1NqRyC/s400/100_7697.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277719637125350450" border="0" /></a><br />(by jordan)<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26091313.post-663781058294695092008-12-09T11:42:00.003+10:302008-12-09T11:44:00.283+10:30[#28] And It Begins...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPrfYWHFA_nxXstzpCCqpY24R7jrxiKQZb9sSb8BgxGNvC9OgLfeRUxyOrzDWP9dLGmkIiFKdb2QyWzNA-b3bAX544VzeLui_fQto1rM7eJ-ac5C1Peuc2DuyOhnpYsMx3DhY_/s1600-h/picture_1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPrfYWHFA_nxXstzpCCqpY24R7jrxiKQZb9sSb8BgxGNvC9OgLfeRUxyOrzDWP9dLGmkIiFKdb2QyWzNA-b3bAX544VzeLui_fQto1rM7eJ-ac5C1Peuc2DuyOhnpYsMx3DhY_/s320/picture_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277592179597537042" border="0" /></a><br />The heat-based milkcrate has begun!<br /><br />Staffs, Jordan, Justin, Jesse and myself are here at EMU, getting our crate on.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26091313.post-82329523839457726332008-12-04T14:06:00.001+10:302008-12-04T14:07:55.746+10:30Milkcrate 27: "A Country Practice"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMebQRtxmFcICvaPteVbdDMnrG4YyM6qyVAfCTh1x6RRkQM2kRPtRHdzgQRshyphenhyphenVIeuHHmYa2ROrAhEuEo-2FhW3jEbUIAVXGWItYM7u57VaX8wT3s3LUFbtzO2lUx5JzTn95M9/s1600-h/mc_27_large.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMebQRtxmFcICvaPteVbdDMnrG4YyM6qyVAfCTh1x6RRkQM2kRPtRHdzgQRshyphenhyphenVIeuHHmYa2ROrAhEuEo-2FhW3jEbUIAVXGWItYM7u57VaX8wT3s3LUFbtzO2lUx5JzTn95M9/s400/mc_27_large.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275773809681565314" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Milkcrate 27: A Country Practice</span><br /><span class="news">Scott Jackson, Sebastian Tomczak and Martin Victory.<br /> <br /> <em>Using only locally-sourced objects in a small country town. </em></span> <p class="body_text_inside"> </p> <p class="body_text_inside">"Scott, Seb and Martin proudly present the first milkcrate that was done out in the country.
