Das wunderbare UbuWeb hat eine neue Sparte für Elektronische Musik:

http://ubu.com/emr/index.html

This new section of Ubuweb is devoted to technical resources concerning the practice of electronic and experimental sound. This is a place for information about actual methods and techniques, with little writing on aesthetics alone. It takes the form of technical/historical articles, interviews, books, small-press magazines and patents. Regrettably, most previous treatments of electronic music have tended to shy away from the details of the medium itself. In hopes of rendering the subject palatable they have removed much of its flavor, for it is precisely within the box, teeming with currents, where the true beauty resides – the other side of the panel. This first installment offers nearly 300 items, arranged according to the scheme above. There is still much work to do.

Aus der Reihe „Klassiker der Avantgarde, neuinterpretiert“:
Shawn Feeny hat einen Klassiker der grafischen Notation, „Treatise“ von Cornelius Cardew, mit Sinustönen ausgelesen.

I uploaded an electronic realization of Cornelius Cardew’s massive graphic score, Treatise, that I made back in 2002. Sine waves are generated from the black areas of the score as it scrolls from right to left, with the y-axis corresponding to pitch. An imaginary vertical line in the center of the screen is the „sounding membrane“. Cardew created Treatise in 1963-67. This fairly literal realization is fifteen minutes long, which you may find maddening or mesmerizing.

Danke für den Tipp, Matthew!

Und hier hat Giorgio Sancristoforo „Incontri di fasce sonore“ von Franco Evangelisti neuarrangiert:

Incontri di fasce sonore is one of Franco Evangelisti masterpieces.
Recorded in 1957 at WDR, Cologne, it is one of the classic scores of the integral serial music era.

This is a preliminary study to investigate the possibility of playing 1950s serial music with the Buchla synthesizer and Max/MSP.

I’ve programmed 315 mixtures of 7 sinusoidal tones in Max/MSP
carefully following the score’s instructions,
then I’ve played them freely in the Buchla, creating a variation piece.
