Musical Language
Show #202

Friday, April 21, 2006

What is music? How does it work? Why does it move us? Why are some people better at it than others? In this hour, we examine the line between language and music, how the brain processes sound, and we meet a composer who uses computers to capture the musical DNA of dead composers in order to create new work. We also re-imagine the disastrous 1913 debut of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring…through the lens of modern neurology.

Here's a video of what one man has created, using contact microphones to electrify.

And here's his website.

Please fill out and submit the attached survey as a part of an research project in progress. You can turn the result in to me in class or place it in an envelope in Studios C or D. The survey is also available in hard copy in the studios.

As we discussed tody in lecture, the OSC protocol allows for complex communication to and from any device on the network and, by it address (/1-a/3, etc) and to any object within the device or application receiving it. The complete specification can be found here:

OpenSoundControl Spec 1.0

The most important section on the page tells us about address wild cards and groupings. Today we did things like:

/*/3 55

...which would send the message "55" to every "3" within every object. I mentioned that I was unclear about other methods of specifying the address so here are the answers.

* means all members

[1234] or [abc], "brackets" mean a match on each character

{23,45,56,456,1,2} comma separated groups are in curly brackets

Other methods are listed on the above-linked Spec page.

Also, I wanted to link you to some potential uses, others who are already using OSC to organize themselves and their material plus several technologies that have sprung up around it.

Some areas of use: http://opensoundcontrol.org/osc-application-areas

Hard/Soft implementations: http://opensoundcontrol.org/implementations

FLOSC: http://www.benchun.net/flosc (Flash to OSC for web interactive pieces)

Occam: http://www.mat.ucsb.edu/%7Ec.ramakr/illposed/occam.html (OSC to MIDI app)

There are hundreds of other tools floating around on the web and many implementations for commercial applications such as Live!, Max/MSP, Reaktor, and others.

Of course don't miss the monome.

Here it is again.

Here you go.

One of your colleagues (Music 659), artist/composer Elliot Hess, has an exhibition next week in Tjaden Galley (on the arts quad across from the Johnson Museum). His description is as follows:

"The show consists of paper sculpturesproduced from suspended fabric moulds and collages on paper. The opening will be on Thursday night from 6-9 pm in Tjaden Gallery."

I hope you can make it!

Hi all,

I thought this was kind of interesting... it reminded me of CEMC
