Phonography Archive

http://radiantslab.com/musiek/phonography/

Ya lo hemos publicado en Mediateletipos, pero este repositorio de grabaciones de campo sigue creciendo y es necesario dar cuenta de él de nuevo.

This field recording repository is an extension of the eGroup disscussion list Phonography. Although this is primarily for the Phonography readers, others are welcome and encouraged to upload their recordings.

Share your field recordings through the web form below. Any file format is accepted, though MP3 is preffered.

When adding to the archive add some detail about the recording. For example, how the recording was made, what gear was used, what the recording is of etc.

All fields optional (except the file upload field). Once you hit the upload button – give it a minute because the screen won’t change until the file is fully uploaded (so don’t sit there and jam on the upload button cause you think nothing is happening!). Oh yeah, the files are at the bottom of this page.
This site is no longer unmoderated so it may take a couple of days before your post appears.

Encuentro Iberoamericano sobre Paisajes Sonoros

Con el objetivo de intercambiar informaciones y métodos de trabajo y compartir nuestra diversidad sonora, se presenta este Encuentro Iberoamericano sobre Paisajes Sonoros en el marco del Festival América España de la Orquesta y Coro Nacionales de España (OCNE). Se celebrará en Madrid, en el Auditorio Nacional de Música, entre el 12 y el 15 de Junio próximo, y será una oportunidad única no sólo para discutir, escuchar e intercambiar ideas y materiales entre especialistas sino también para dar a conocer las bases conceptuales y las principales aplicaciones de este campo a todos los interesados. Queremos que sea además la ocasión de establecer formulas para darle una continuidad iniciando un foro permanente: el Foro Iberoamericano de los Paisajes Sonoros.

El Paisaje Sonoro se mueve en un ámbito musical de planteamientos abiertos y pluridisciplinares con múltiples implicaciones y aplicaciones (composición musical, comunicación acústica, ecología acústica, contaminación acústica, patrimonio inmaterial, pedagogía musical, geografía sonora, urbanismo sonoro…). Partiendo de una información y de conceptos básicos que permitan comprender la importancia y el alcance de este campo del sonido se mostrarán, mediante conferencias, debates y audiciones, los logros realizados por los principales grupos, artistas e investigadores que desarrollan esta actividad en España y Latinoamérica.

Grieg revisitado

|

http://www.noruega.es/culture/grieg07/sampler/sampler.htm

“Esta parte de la programación, con motivo del aniversario de Grieg, se centrará en el método del artista. Se invitará a niños, jóvenes, compositores, músicos y artistas del mundo de la acústica para crear arte musical inspirado en el método y el espíritu de Grieg.

El tema de la Recopilación se ha elegido debido al interés que mostró Edvard Grieg en los sonidos que escuchaba en la naturaleza y en la música popular. Como otros muchos compositores de su tiempo, su interés en esta área era una expresión del proceso de realidad nacional emergente y creación de identidad. En su obra, Grieg hizo extensivo el uso de los elementos musicales populares e imágenes de tono que recrean y reelaboran impresiones del paisaje de la naturaleza noruega. El canto de los pájaros, las cascadas, la lluvia y las montañas encontraron un lugar en sus composiciones, y los que escuchan su obra reciben una experiencia genuina de la naturaleza a través de su música. Grieg fue un recopilador de los sonidos de la naturaleza noruega, un recopilador de sonidos.

El programa Recopilación tiene dos componentes principales. Uno, El Sonido de la Primavera Noruega, es para profesionales. El otro, Lydverkstedet, (el Taller del Sonido) pretende dirigirse a niños y adolescentes. Cada componente se ha dividido en dos fases: recopilación de sonidos y procesamiento artístico. El material resultante se presentará al público en una exposición [...]”

Musées des ondes Emile Berliner

|

info

December 24th, 2006 marked the 100th anniversary of Quebecer Reginald Aubrey Fessenden’s first voice transmission by radio. The son of a minister from the Eastern Townships, Fessenden (East Bolton, Québec, 1866 – Bermuda, 1932), was intrigued with the possibilities of wireless transmission when as a child he saw a demonstration by Graham Bell of the telephone.
This event is more than a milestone in radio history: it is a remarkable revolution. The exhibition takes the visitor back in time as it relates the history of a fascinating, but complex technology. The radio technology, as well as its components, the various ways it can be used, and the inventors that contributed to its expansion, are featured in the exhibition.

The Implicate Order is a recording and art project focusing on experimental soundscapes. The resulting pieces range from ambient and melodic experiments to extreme noise sculptures. They are created with a blend of organic and virtual sound sources including original instrumentations and sound constructions, as well as sounds of the media and of the world itself.
