Forward Strategy Group: Labour Division – FACT magazine: music and art
‘Metal Image’ take more conventional techno tropes and twist them slightly, removing the linearity and adding structures that encourage the listener to reach into the depths. The two most interesting tracks, however, again move away from the expected and draw inspiration from elsewhere. ‘TTH’ may be based around metallic drones, but they form a melodic bedrock that coupled with the shifting beat and white noise gasps refer as much to darker ’90s IDM sounds as they do current techno

Sound With a Dose of Mysticism: Upcoming Sufi Plugs Explore Tonality, Call to Prayer, Drones
a meditation on the idea of daily interruptions in the soundscape coming from God, and a collection of electronic drones set to a beautifully-shot backdrop. The interfaces are rendered in graphics and (for the vast majority of us) a foreign language, and instead of reverting to the conventions of plug-in design, they assimilate ideas from another culture about tonality and function.

Narrated in Dutch, but with extensive interviews in English, it follows Photek, Squarepusher and Source Direct at work and at leisure. It’s SD’s Phil and Jim who steal the show, bombing around suburban St Albans in their matching black BMWs and boasting that they turn up their headphones loud enough to get complaints from the neighbours.

Leonard Bernstein’s Masterful Lectures on Music (11+ Hours of Video Recorded in 1973) | Open Culture
Bernstein’s lectures covered a lot of terrain, touching on poetry, linguistics, philosophy and physics. But the focus inevitably comes back to music — to how music works, or to the underlying grammar of music. The lectures run over 11 hours. They’re considered masterpieces, beautiful examples of how to make complicated material accessible.

“Sound adds life to the environment. There is a presence you get from hearing sound. It’s real. An image is on the screen, but the screen is more real than the image. When you have sound coming out, it’s vibrating through the air—vibrating the room you’re in. It’s tangible.”

Ethan Hein's Blog › Image schemas in music software
The authors discuss the ways that user interface design for music production and teaching software is informed by embodied cognition, as articulated by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson in their book Metaphors We Live By. Lakoff and Johnson argue that all metaphors trace their roots to states of the human body, which are the only basis for abstract thought that we possess. The closer a metaphor is to a state of the body, the easier it is for us to understand.

Object-oriented composition of very complex behaviors. Since Protos can contain other Protos, it becomes simpler to write large structures that can be reused. While composing, you spend less time thinking through programming logic and more time thinking about the desired result. I use this feature for so-called "adaptive sequencing," in which the process modifies its own input material according to rules specified by the composer.

Black Metal Theory
In order to fashion, however provisionally, a black metal theory, a moving-back-and-forth between black metal and theory, one needs what Deleuze called “intercessors”, forces which come from the outside attracted by incipient conditions for their coming in and feeding on. The forces which this paper activates—from diverse fields including ecology, literary theory, art, politics, and philosophy— are a series of cuttings-in or inter-scissions which create trouble, a thickening cloudiness, a smudging which bridges both black metal and theory and their participations with a shared outside.

Aeolian harp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
a musical instrument that is "played" by the wind. It is named for Aeolus, the ancient Greek god of the wind. The traditional aeolian harp is essentially a wooden box including a sounding board, with strings stretched lengthwise across two bridges. It is placed in a slightly opened window where the wind can blow across the strings to produce sounds. The strings can be made of different materials (or thicknesses) and all be tuned to the same pitch, or identical strings can be tuned to different pitches.
