Violin Piece

Fallender Arm als Tonhöhenkontroller

Gewissermaßen die menschlichere Version von Nam June Paiks Geigenzerstörungsstück: Todd Lerew hält den Arm über ein Theremin, bis er nicht mehr kann.

#naheliegendeScherze – wir warten noch auf die Version, die nur Männer ausführen können.

Die Geburt der Musikvisualisierung (1924)

It was during his boyhood in Denmark that the inventor began experimenting with light, making rainbows on the walls with prisms pilfered from the chandelier. Later he learned to project light forms from a cigar box; and finally the finished product of his boyish experiments appeared in the steel instrument on which he now performs.

The clavilux has three manuals and a triple light chamber, corresponding respectively to the keyboard and wind chest of the pipe organ. Disk keys appear on the manual, moving to and from the operator and playing color and form almost as the pipe organ plays sound.

There are 100 positions for each key, making possible almost infinite combinations of color and form. The “music,” or notation, is printed in figures upon a five-lined staff, three staves joined, as treble and bass clefs are joined for piano, to provide a “clef” for each of the three manuals. A color chord is represented by three figures as, for example, “40-35-60″; and movement of the prescribed keys to the designated positions on the numbered scale of the keyboard produces the desired figure.

Bernard Parmegiani: Video „L’Ecran Transparent“ (1973)

1973 video by Bernard Parmegiani with accompanying musique concrete score. The source is a VHS rip, the origin of which is unclear. Special thanks to the CiNEMAGROTESQUE uploaders for this one, despite the fact that they attributed it to Polish animator Piotr Kamler… whom he had composed for previously. „L’Ecran transparent“ comes from a fruitful period of audio-visual art during a residency in Köln, after Parmegiani had returned from a tour of the U.S. The score can be found separately on a 3″ CD called „Musique Concrete Soundtracks to Experimental Short Films, Vol. 6.“

In meinem Text „Elitär vs. Populär“ hatte ich das Beispiel einer Bäckereitüte erwähnt, auf der Mondriansche Muster zu sehen waren.

Hier noch ein Beispiel.
