Музыка

Music is everywhere, and thanks to recording equipment, it's even more everywhere. In this video, the Pagefire crew will go over an experimental genre where field recordings become a rhythmic nightmare.

    I unironically like this genre, particularly "Dripsody". The guy literally recorded a single drop of water, and then just manipulated the tape to hell and back, and make it this really trippy two-minute little piece. Also the original 1960s Doctor Who theme music was technically musique concrete, because they didn't bother commissioning an artist to do it, so people in the sound department just took whatever they had in the BBC sound catalogue and patched it into the now-iconic theme.

    Amusing AF, y'all! Couple of addenda, tho... Some of the history on this goes back to before WWI, when the Italian composer and painter Luigi Russolo developed his concept of "Noise Music". This was performed using his "intonarumori", an ensemble of instruments designed to make and acoustically amplify various noise types. Sadly, there's only two poor-quality recordings of this, and Russolo's intonarumori were accidentally destroyed during the war. The other? A classical fave, Ottorino Respighi's "The Pines of Rome". Hah? Wut? No lie...that is the first musical work that SPECIFICALLY calls for a sample, and original scores of it actually came with a 78 RPM record containing the call of a nightingale, to be played during one section of the work. Amusingly, present-day performances of Respighi's work tend to use actual samplers with a proper digital recording of a nightingale...so, yeah. Oh...and in order to multitrack in the early, pre-Les Paul days, studios would use these frankenstein-ish cutting lathes with multiple, synchronized cutting heads and a similar arrangement of tone arms for multitrack playback. No, don't even ask; of course they were cumbersome and easy to f*** up, but worse still is that the "burr" being cut from the acetate disk was (and still is) insanely flammable. If the burr caught fire, you only had a matter of seconds to extinguish it before the ENTIRE LATHE would go up in a blaze of burning acetate! Only one studio in the USA that I know of used these, namely Columbia-Princeton in their "RCA Mk. II" studio...and then for only a short time as safer and less-screw up-able multitrack tape was finally available by the late 1950s. Great work, tho...MUCH better explanation of Musique Concrete than one normally hears, especially that tutorial track. Took me back to the late 1970s and my own initial explorations with splicing tape, blocks, and tape machine abuse in general! 👍
