review review

before the tape recorder there were disks and wire recorders and phonofilm.
phonofilm would capture a snap shot of audio.
phonofilm was invented by Lee De Forest.
it would last longer than disk and wire recorders.. it harnessed AC(alternating current) it lost its patten a few times though
turntable-ism was used to change pitch and timbre
Pual hindemith, varese and age used turntables in their compostitions.
musique concrete and found sound were really similar
pierre schaeffer (1910-95) worked with pierre henry (1927-present) with the beginnings  of recording music from 1949 to 1951.  schaeffer was more familiar with the technology and henry was more the composer so it worked pretty well.
they would play their sounds backwards...experimenting in a compositional way.
schaeffer coined the the words "musique concrete" in 1948.
musique concrete can be summarized as real world sounds (audibles) that occur naturally and that do not include instrument or human interface.
it is considered a great type of art that enlightens us in ways unimaginable because we hear these things in our day to day life but we never hear them in a type of music. where they are recorded in patterns which to us is pleasing. we are used to rhythms  because we like to know what is going to happen next.
musique concrete is breaking the breaking down of the structure of traditional instruments. it is reconceptualizing the abstraction of music
schaeffers first idea was the concept that can include any and all sounds except produced...by traditional instruments


on top of this info we also had an assessment that i did not do so well on. i was pissed. it completely caught me off guard. i completely spaced out.
the telharmonium was invented by thaddeas cahill (1861-
it was built on the works of helen hotlz. it percieved synthetic orchestra played by one person. the goal was to create music over long distances. complex sounds and additive synthesis. it faced some challenges however such as..method tone generation, tuning, keyboard design(interface), power, mixing sounds and there size, amplification, control dynamics, funding, and wide spread use.
lee de forrest (1875-1961) he invented vacuum tubes. which created a low signal and it amplified it. it lead to radio broadcasting and recording technology
