ChucK

(at 13:00 there's some sort of a ChucK "hello world!" equivalent)

November 16, 2007 lecture by Ge Wang for the Stanford University Human-Computer Interaction Seminar (CS 547). In the first part of this talk, Ge presents the design, philosophy, and development of ChucK, a computer music programming language intending to provide a different approach, expressiveness, and thinking with respect to time and parallelism in audio programming - as well as a platform for precise and rapid experimentation. In the second part of this presentation, Ge describes his adventures with the "laptop orchestra": a new type of large-scale, computer-mediated music ensemble.

ChucK is free open source and available for Linux, MacOS X and Windows.

2. Edgar Varese - "Ionisation" (06.13)*

I wouldn't exactly call it "electronic" but it's certainly on of my favorite pieces of avant garde classical.

Reich's "Six Marimbas" is nice too.

[rockefeller center]

You're right. Actually only one track (#3. Plaid - Scope) qualifies for this thread but I've been listening to it on repeat and forgot what the rest is all about.

I had to go read Varese's name when I had 25 eMusic downloads left. The two Naxos volumes knocked that down to 2 and I found a Joe Maneri to finish them off. Been looking forward to checking these out, I fondly remember hearing Ionisation in a music class.

But AFAIK, Deserts is his only electronic music!

These are a few of my favorites which relate to this sort of music, but might be too beat-oriented for some of you. I'm a big fan of Kraftwerk and Art Of Noise (I love the Aphex Twin comp referenced earlier), and have delved into some Raymond Scott. I plan on checking out some of the other recs here to broaden my horizons.

Nobody - Western Water Music, Vol.1

Blockhead - Music By Cavelight

Desmond Williams - Delights Of The Garden

The Dining Rooms - Numero Deux

Felix Laband - Thin Shoes In June

J-Boogie's Dubtronic Science

Kid Koala - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

I'm actually finishing up an electronic album of tunes dedicated to my father (who was into ambient music and got me into it as a young kid). Mine is kinda old school sounding; influenced by Vangelis and the like more than the more modern guys.

Nice. Are you going to put it online in some form?

[Jim Alfredson]

Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. I can't really put too much money into it, though I really feel the need to make a physical product. Perhaps I'll print up 100 copies. It will definitely be on iTunes, but if I print up copies the artwork is going to be worth it.

At least two very nice tracks IMO: "Bathing in Blindfolds" and "Technicolor Yawn" (scroll down to stream/download)

David First - Privacy Issues.

article.

[Jim Alfredson]

Whoa. As a piano tuner and someone very sensitive to pitch, the sample in that article is fucking with my brain. In a good way.

On the new electronic CD I'm working on, I have a piece that is loosely similar, due to my own impatience. The Alesis Andromeda analog polysynth takes a good 15 or 20 minutes to warm up and stabilize it's tuning. One night I had an idea I had to get down and didn't want to wait for the Andromeda to warm up, so I just started recording. And because of this, the song starts out quite flat, though at first there's no reference point to let you know that, since it is all Andromeda. But then a little lead line comes in, out of tune. And then a Wurlitzer part, much sharper than even the lead line. And eventually, as the song progresses about 11 minutes or so, the Andromeda is slowly warming up and things are coming into tune, almost like they are coming into focus, slowly. It's extremely hypnotic but subtle.

[7/4]

Did you ever try any just tunings on a synth? Thats how I got into microtonality.
