Guest Symatic Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I just found this article about some of the earliest forms of "phonomanipulation". its pretty interesting and documents peoples experiments with manipulating recorded sounds with the early recording devices like Edison cylinders. Theres even a diagram of some kind of lock groove record that has different instruments on each groove that you can mix live as a multi-track recording. Another bit refers to playing multiple grooves of the same record with multiple needles connected to the same tone arm, much like the 'rake' headshell someone posted about a while back. http://www.phonozoic.net/phonomanipulation.pdf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest It'sPhilFromThursdays Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Nice. Does it say about Edgar Varese using it to play bird sounds in his performances and that in the early 1900's?

Guest Symatic Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 "The speed-shifting phonograph may have outdone (cornetist Jules) Levy in sheer tonal range, producing a striking aural novelty, but it had failed when measured by the yardstick of traditional musical aesthetics" seems like the beef doing tone routines has been around for about a hundred years longer than we thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Symatic Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Qbert bit part of his '91 from this lady! "Slosson describes another comparable example in his 1917 essay, this time creatednot by varying the recording speed but by physically modifying an existing phonogram:A young lady who had studied Futuristic painting at the Y. W. C. A. art school sent me arecord with the loveliest centerpiece of ultra-modern appliqué, containing all the colorsof the rainbow and some unknown to nature and found only in the aniline dyes. And itplays Futuristic music, too. You see she has covered over the hole in the center and cut an-other half an inch away. This produces eccentric music, like the Hawaiian, only more so." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
