Alvin Lucier – « Music on a long thin wire »
In his own words (1992): « Music on a Long Thin Wire is constructed as follows: the wire is extended across a large room, clamped to tables at both ends. The ends of the wire are connected to the loudspeaker terminals of a power amplifier placed under one of the tables. A sine wave oscillator is connected to the amplifier. A magnet straddles the wire at one end. Wooden bridges are inserted under the wire at both ends to which contact microphones are imbedded, routed to the stereo sound system. The microphones pick up the vibrations that the wire imparts to the bridges and are sent through the playback system. By varying the frequency and loudness of the oscillator, a rich variety of slides, frequency shifts, audible beats and other sonic phenomena may be produced. »
However, Lucier admits a long thin wire is only used to impress, a short thin wire would have worked as well if not better, and he discovered that the best way to produce variation in the sonic phenomena was to pick a setting and leave the setup alone. He praised David Rosenboom for his ability to pick interesting settings. -Wikipedia

L’Orchestre de Paris crée le concerto pour piano et électronique de Philippe Manoury
C’est l’Orchestre de Paris qui ouvrira le nouveau festival de l’IRCAM, Manifeste, avec la création mondiale d’un concerto pour piano, Echo-Daimónon. Philippe Manoury, son compositeur, est l’un des grands spécialistes de l’électronique musicale en temps réel et l’œuvre fait une part importante à ce dispositif d’interaction entre instrumentistes et machines. Rares les concertos qui intègrent de telles possibilités, l’occasion est donc très intéressante. Rencontre-vidéo avec Philippe Manoury et son interprète, Jean-Frédéric Neuburger, en répétition à l’IRCAM. Un coin du voile se lève, ne manquent plus que chef et orchestre.
Philippe Manoury – « En Echo »
Written in collaboration with programmer Miller Puckette, « En Echo » uses real time score-following software which responds to the singer’s voice. In Emille Hocquart’s text, a young woman recollects a heated affair.
« The computer is automatically following the voice, » Mr. Manoury explained. « It functions as what we call a ‘score-follower.’ The singer sings in tempo, or with an acceleration, and the computer synchronizes to make synthetic sounds that are deduced from alterations in the voice — not precalculated, but produced in real time. If the voice modifies the vowels, for example, it modifies the electronics. » Messrs. Manoury and Puckette have worked since the latter moved from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1989 and joined Mr. Manoury at the famous studios at IRCAM (l’Institut de Recherche et de Coordination Acoustique/Musique), which Pierre Boulez founded in Paris.
