Nicola Dibben (University of Sheffield)
8 February 2012 07:35
The musical artefact in the digital age. A case study of Björk’s ‘Biophilia’. Digitalisation has brought profound changes to the way people make, use and acquire music. In this paper I examine the future of the musical artefact through a case study of Björk’s 2011 album and app suite “Biophilia” – one of the first music albums to be released as a set of interactive iPad/iPhone apps, and a project I contributed to. Biophilia illustrates some of the consequences and opportunities of digitalisation for music: the creation of new formats and their implications for modes of listening, stratification of the market for physical artefacts, an enhanced role for extramusical materials, implications for the expression of a unified artistic vision, unification of digital and material copy, and new opportunities for musical learning. Nicola Dibben is Senior Lecturer in Music at the University of Sheffield and joint co-ordinating editor of Popular Music (CUP). She is author of Björk (Equinox Press, 2009) and the multi-authored Music and Mind in Everyday Life (OUP 2010). She also collaborated on Björk’s multi-media app album Biophilia (2011).

Benjamin Boretz Aggregates, Symbols, Noise, and Other Metaphors
8 February 2012 07:35
The data of music do not determine its being. Listening, the act of receptual composition, is the ultimate determinant of musical being. Listening creates what you hear, and what you hear is what you choose to hear, consciously or not. The question, then, is - exactly - what is it that you want music to be, in the service of what desire, need, compulsion you strive to assuage. The seminar begins with the question: Why do I say “metaphor”? And continues with a nontrivial metaphorical interaction in the absence of verbal discourses. And goes on from there.

The unique sonic and musical possibilities afforded by this space have inspired composers working at SARC to create works in which the spatial properties of sound are central to the musical experience. This concert will present some of the most exciting and innovative spatial music created at SARC in recent years. This concert complements a concert of spatial music presented at SARC earlier in the day by the Dublin-based Spatial Music Collective. With these two concerts we aim to delight the audience, and to stimulate ongoing conversations about the technical and aesthetic possibilities of spatial music.

Thibaut Carpentier (Acoustic And Cognitive Spaces at IRCAM)
8 February 2012 07:35
Spat: a consistent approach to realtime sound spatialization and post-production With the recent improvements in computer and multichannel- audio equipment, numerous spatialization libraries and toolboxes have been created by artists and researchers. However these tools are often dedicated to a given reproduction method (such as VBAP, Higher Order Ambisonic or Wave Field Synthesis) and their control interfaces are mostly limited to low-level / device-oriented parameters, which may not guarantee a consistent and efficient workflow for the composers or sound engineers. Thanks to its internal format for spatial sound scene description, Ircam Spatialisateur makes it possible for the user to specify and automate the spatialization parameters independently of the speakers’ setup. It furthermore relies on a perceptual approach in order to intuitively specify the characteristics of the desired effect. In this talk we will outline the key features of this software and discuss the latest technological improvements. Thibaut Carpentier studied acoustics at the Ecole Centrale and digital audio signal processing at the ENST in Paris, France. He holds a Mechanical Engineering degree and a MSc in Acoustics. In 2008 he joined CNRS and the Acoustics And Cognitive Spaces team at IRCAM. His work focuses on the analysis / synthesis of spatial sound environments. Thibaut developed the latest version of the Ircam Spat software which was awarded best plugin of 2011 by Resolution Magazine. He collaborated on Saadane Afif’s In Search Of Melodies (Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2009)

Sonora: New Mexican Noise, Growth and Sound
8 February 2012 07:35
Sonora, a program devoted to sound and experimental music, presents the latest music from both emerging and consolidated Mexican composers and sound artists. This concert displays a wide variety of the latest tendencies in the Mexican scene, united by the fact that majority of the pieces included were created or performed within the context of Sonora. Some of the pieces diverge from the concept of electro-acoustic or academic music. They are simply tracks or documents that one might hear while working at home. Works of electronic music by practitioners who experiment with narrative and acoustic phenomena that give life to new sounds and sensations. Sonora is a physical space, a wandering lab, a production and documentation association dedicated to sonic experimentation. It is made up of collaboration between Sociacusia and Laboratorio Sensorial. During 2010 and 2011 it has organised workshops, seminars, expositions, residencies, concerts and various other activities to promote new musical expressions in the greater Guadalajara area. Curated by Yair López
Daniel Teruggi - A technological trip to GRM
8 February 2012 07:35
Since the first days of GRM in 1948, the exploration of music making with recorded sounds implied that sounds could be modified and adapted. This started the first technical developments, mainly mechanical, that permitted composers to “manipulate” sound and build a spectro-morphological coherence within the work. This action has never stopped since; through different technology developments ranging from electronic synthesizers to GRM Tools, the GRM has build an approach to sound processing and contributed with original concepts to electroacoustic and acousmatic music.

Sex, Lies, and Integrated Digital Media R. Luke DuBois is a composer, artist, and performer who explores the temporal, verbal, and visual structures of cultural and personal ephemera. He holds a doctorate in music composition from Columbia University, and has lectured and taught worldwide on interactive sound and video performance. He has collaborated on interactive performance, installation, and music production work with many artists and organizations including Toni Dove, Matthew Ritchie, Todd Reynolds, Jamie Jewett, Bora Yoon, Michael Joaquin Grey, Elliott Sharp, Michael Gordon, Maya Lin, Bang on a Can, Engine27, Harvestworks, and LEMUR, and was the director of the Princeton Laptop Orchestra for its 2007 season. Stemming from his investigations of “time-lapse phonography,” his recent work is a sonic and encyclopedic relative to time-lapse photography. Just as a long camera exposure fuses motion into a single image, his work reveals the average sonority, visual language, and vocabulary in music, film, text, or cultural information.

Semblance, make-believe, and narrative structures: toward a theory of listener embeddedness in electroacoustic soundscapes This is a paper about the roles of the bodies on both sides of the divide. “If a tree falls in a forest but no one hears it...” it makes neither a sound nor an aesthetic impact. Music that is inherently sound rather than also score or action configures the listener in the music’s very conception in ways that are unique. Electroacoustic music that alludes to the environment engages with this practice or phenomenon even more directly. Elizabeth Hoffman has lived in NYC since joining the NYU Faculty of Arts and Science in 1999. Initially a classical pianist, she later studied with Bülent Arel and worked in Stony Brook’s analog studio, then pursued computer music at the University of Washington. Hoffman now writes for acoustic, fixed, and live electronic media, inclined to a sonic focus on timbre and texture. Additional interests are instrument design, spatialization, and technology’s impact on creative thought. Recognition from Bourges and Prix Ars competitions. Ongoing computer projects with Uillean piper Ivan Goff, (SARC M.A.). Hoffman is Associate Professor in NYU’s Department of Music.
