The complete audible discography of Edouard Leon Scott de Martinville, the world’s first recording artist, and French inventor of the Phonautograph.
And on the topic of “What is Music?” some listening for your consideration. I encourage you to explore the history and context of this piece (some names and terms to get you started: Le Corbusier, Iannis Xenakis, Philips Pavilion, Brussels World Fair, “Space Measured in Seconds”, musique concrète).
Edgar Varèse’s “Poem Electronique”.

Please download the attached examples, expanding into the use of sound files, MIDI, and internal recording, among other concepts.
I have added Supercollider examples to the Assignment #4 listing, taken from today’s class, 4/28. See here, “UPDATE #2”.
Some links from today:
Nicolas Collin’s Handmade Electronic Instruments (also in our library)
Our own (CEMC) research pages, with recent projects
Instruments and information (including DIY pages) of student Taylan Cihan
Tristan Perich, Microtonal Wall
Tristan Perich, 1-bit Symphony (available in the library)
As a follow-up to our Thursday discussion and DIY workshop, we will, today, be delving further into the realm of hardware as well as software “hacking”, including several new programming languages that should be of interest to some in the class.
We will carry out one brief assignment with the last one I will show you, SuperCollider, as an initial experience with its syntax and interface with a mind toward knowing enough to peruse its examples for further discovery.
Download SuperCollider itself here.
I am also supplying several example patches to be viewed together in class. You can download these HERE.
