the Acousmonium Festival



12월 10일에서 12일까지 3일동안 Sonology는 GRM을 초청하여 Acousmonium Festival을 펼쳤다. 개인적인 사정으로 마지막날밖에 참석하지 못하였으나, 역사적인 사운드 시스템과 음악들을 접할 수 있는 소중한 기회였다.

GRM은 1958년에 창시하여 올해로 50주년을 맞는다. 전자음악은 크게 프랑스 파리와 독인의 퀠른을 중심으로 두갈래로 뻗어나갔다고 볼수 있는데, GRM은 프랑스의 전자음악 전반에 큰 영향을 끼쳤다.

Acousmonium은 1974년 Francois Bayle가 창시하였고 총 80개의 서로 다른 스피커를 다른 거리/높이로 배치한 loudspeaker orchestra의 개념을 기반으로 한 시스템이다.  

오늘의 콘서트는 1부에서 Sonology학생들의 작품을, 2부는 역사적인 작품부터 최근에 Acousmonium을 위해 쓰여진 작품들로 이루어 졌다.

네덜란드는 그 지역적 위치로 보아 파리와 퀠른의 중심즈음에 위치하고있는데, 그 음악적 색채 또한 두 지역의 특성을 잘 받아들이고 있다고 보여진다.
2부에서 프랑스 작곡가들의 작품들은 확실히 소리에 아주 세세한 부분들이 세밀하게 처리되어있는데다가, 15분이 넘는 긴 작품들을 지루함 없이 이끌어 나가게 하는 narrative한 부분들이, 작품 전체의 스케일이 강하고 비교적 큰 Sonology학생들에게는 신선함으로 다가왔으리라 생각이 든다.

다소 몽환적이고, 강력한 에너지보다는 화사하고 세련된 소리들의 전개가 유치하지않게 잘 구성된 작품들이었다.

처음 연주된 Varése의 작품은 원래 Symphony중반부에 삽입이 된 곡이나, 그 당시에는 심히 파격적인 소리의 파괴로 인해 사람들의 야유를 받았으며, 다시는 프랑스에서 연주되지 않았다 하여 나의 호기심을 발동시켰다. 참으로 그 짧은 Fragmant속에는 Orchestra가 이룰수 없는 소리들의 파괴. 50년이 지난 지금 들어도 전혀 유치하지 않은, 강력하고 날카로운 소리의 찢김이 그 당시의 파격을 짐작하게끔 했다.

전자음악은 당연히 그 역사가 아직은 짧지만, 몇백년전 작곡된 클래식 작품보다, 역사적인 작품들을 듣는것이 쉽지 않다. 그런 이유로 오늘의 콘서트는 지금 현재의 전자음악의 길을 걷고있는 나와 또 다른 학생들에게는 귀중한 경험이었고, 한국에도 이런 기회가 더 많이 와서 학생들이 전자음악의 역사를 공부할 수 있는 기회들이 많이 있기를 바래본다.

Edgard Varése : Déserts, interpolation 2 et 3 (1954)

Binary Release [test] of ScGraph

Hi,
in case you didn’t read the other threads where i mentioned this.
Here [1] you can find a binary build of ScGraph that should run on OS X 10.4 and 10.5.. For quick install and usage notes, see the other ScGraph threads on the -dev list 😉 In case that this tarball doesn’t work, try this one [2].
[1] http://tapas.affenbande.org/scgraph_osx_10.4_12.12.2008.tgz
[2] http://tapas.affenbande.org/scgraph_osx_10.4.tgz
If you are interested in ScGraph, please let me know how well this does or does not work for you, so i can pimp the build before doing a real release (including documentation, etc..)..
Regards,

Flo

** this is on the other email

It is not your usual app bundle. Here’s the quick running README [conjured 
from thin air right in this moment]:
– Install the Qt Mac OS X SDK dmg [1] – 117 meg or so
– open a Terminal
– do [assuming you have scgraph_osx.tgz downloaded to your desktop]:
tar xzf ./Desktop/scgraph_osx.tgz
cd scgraph
export SCGRAPH_SC_PLUGIN_PATH=/path/to/your/SuperCollider/Plugins
export SCGRAPH_PLUGIN_PATH=./lib/scgraph/plugins
./bin/scgraph
If you get any error messages that look suspicious, run 
./bin/scgraph -vvv
and send me the output. If above procedure fails totally, send me the log of 
your terminal session.. Keep Marije’s previously given advice in mind, that 
some classes in a current SC svn build need to be adapted to work with 
ScGraph. My SC build is some months old [maybe 10s of months ;)]
==
From another users’s post:
==
then i downloaded florian’s scgraph release below and added the  
classes in share to sc’s extensions folder.
cd into scgraph and start with ./bin/scgraph
