13:30 - 14:30 "COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A MUSICIAN AND HER INSTRUMENT"

Dr. Robert Moog

Abstract:
Musical instruments are some of the most interactive tools that we
use. In terms of bandwidth of data flow between a musician and
instrument, few tools in common use are as interactive. What is the
nature of this communication? Some of it can be described in terms of
purely physical stimuli and responses. However, there is a component
of instrument-musician communication that cannot be explained in
terms of conventional physical forces. I will speculate on the nature
of these interactions, and how they may apply to electronic musical
instruments.

Biography:
Robert Moog started building theremins as a teenager and started the
R.A. Moog Company in 1954. A decade later he invented the first line
of electronic synthesizers. Moog has a PhD in Engineering Physics
from Cornell University and honorary doctorates from Polytechnic
University and Lycoming College. His many awards include the Silver
Medal of The Audio Engineering Society, the Trustee’s Award of the
National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the Billboard
Magazine Trendsetter’s Award, and Seamus award from the Society of
Electroacoustic Music in the United States. He has written and spoken
extensively on a variety of topics in music technology and has
contributed major articles to Encyclopedia Britannica and the
Encyclopedia of Applied Physics.

Citation : A l’occasion de la sortie du coffre rétrospective Returning Wheel, les mythiques Minimal Compact sont à l’honneur cette semaine avec une petite leçon d’histoire musicale sous la forme du clip de leur morceau Dedicated et de l'écoute de leur classique, Statik Dancin'.

Peu de groupes ont, à l’instar de Minimal Compact, dévergondé la new-wave de son nombrilisme étouffant. Formé à Tel-Aviv au début des années 80 par trois activistes aux prétentions plus littéraires que musicales, Minimal Compact s’est rapidement exilé à Londres, puis à Amsterdam, étoffant au passage son line-up. En sept ans d’existence, il s’est en tout cas affirmé comme l’un des projets musicaux les plus ouverts des années 80, n’hésitant jamais à descendre sur le dance-floor ou à incorporer des textures inspirés de mélodies moyen-orientales.
