Document Summary
Come up with a system that retains atonal system. Chromatic tone is ordered in the tone and never repeats before the complete appearance of 12 tones. Extend the row into a variety of element. Extend series to different rhythmic duration, timbre, and dynamic. Total serialism is organizational method that organizes tone and other elements. Musique concrete is real sound that is recorded and manipulated. Splicing changing speed, overdubbing, reversing are methods to manipulate sound. Slowing the tape makes the pitch goes down. Run many loops of tape at the same time. Hard to distinguish between concrete and synthesis sound. Human voice is the most distinct and the hardest to disguise it. Vacuum tube-based synthesizer, controlled by punched paper tape. Total serialism: row forms control all compositional elements. For synthesized sound, recorded voice, and live voice. Text is based on greek myth, poem by john hollander.
