Modular synthesizer lecture "musique concrete"

Using elements, morphagene, plaits. pressure points, trapezoid.. Additional Infos for Students see below: This minilesson should give you some inspiration to research before tweaking morphagenes knobs. Understand the heritage of things, get deeper into the meanings of the modules features and reflect the outcomings of what you´re doing. To approach advanced Modules like Elements, Maths and Morphagene you should know and probably read about, that their foundations lie far in the past, mostly related with tape experiments of Pierre Schaeffer, later Pierre Henry creating „musique concrete“ and then spreading through many advanced electronic music studios between cologne, milano, paris, belgrade and san francisco, taken to different levels by composers like Herbert Eimert, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Iannis Xernakis, Luciano Berio, Pierre Boulez and many others. Most of them in the early years developed new techniques for tapemachine experiments, even constructing machines like phonogene and morpophone with features including the basics of morphagene today. Musique concrete was taking sounds out of their hermeneutical and semantic connotations to provide a deeper purity by musical means. The same struggle for this purity you can hear in Stockhausens tape-based works where he argues and tries to overcome the boundaries of „phone“ versus „phoneme“ by taking recorded words from meaning through mashing up to total destruction and new purely musical context far from the original recording. Those days splicing tapes sometimes was more than a week work for just a few seconds. Today you can do it in one big live rush with modulated digital devices like Morphagene, but like in the little video improvisation they are often missing the compositional aspect of a reflected, controlled long planned process. A nice modular addition to Morphagenes c++ programmed Audio Treatment is Olivier Gillets mutable instruments „Elements“ based on arm-processed algorithms of physical modelling (modal) excited signals or external audio inputs. It can be extended by modulation sources like Makenoise Maths, EMS Trapezoid Generator, simple LFO and further sources like Mutable Plaits Oscillator combined with Erica Pico DSP. This little totally improvised patchsession guides you through the process of complex patching recorded audio (speech) to total destruction, morphing, modulating, de-contextualization an then back again to the pure words. Put on your earphones and listen. Its fluctuating between profane, amazing, humorous, shocking, disturbing, enerving, relaxing. I hope you get interested. If so, research the old masters and works and do your own interpretation by practicing it over and over again leading you to better results or a – best - graphically scored controlled compositional process. You will see, its challenging and fun, no matter what recipients say. Probably some of them might „hate“ it to be annoyed with non popular musical content out of the boundaries of their aesthetical repertoire. Thats O.K.. But just to remind you: many of the old masters (also in modular synthesis like Don Buchla, and Morton Subotnick) were confronted with haters, even scandals and taking the risk to present their controversial art to the public. But where would we be without their Inventions and research for looping, sampling, granular, modulating….so think twice and confront yourself. Let´s start with being risky and weird and end up with innovation and new horizons. Thanks also to the contemporary inventors and advisors of and for such modules!
