The Man Who Lives Inside a Piano Finds a Hornet’s Nest
A Miniature Opera for Text and Audio – Dedicated to David Toub
by Lee Noyes, Dennis Bathory-Kitsz, JC Combs

Piano - Improvisation

Sound Synthesis – Libretto
Libretto
The Background: It had been no more than two years since Franc took up residence inside a piano. An unfortunate dwelling, but not by choice. You see Franc, a piano tuner by trade, was tricked and pushed into a Steinway Grand D by a concert pianist with a surprisingly sinister side. His name was Bartolomeo Cristofori. He had phoned Franc earlier in the day complaining that a penny had somehow dropped into the soundboard, apparently making somewhat of a persistent rattling noise. ”No, look further in, down there. You must retrieve the penny so I can sufficiently practice for the concert at the estate of Prince Ferdinando de Medici this coming Friday.” Those were the last words Franc remembered hearing before falling headlong into the gigantic grand. He passed out for some time and woke up only to find the piano nailed shut, with him in it! Inside, he realized that the piano had been converted into a sort of prison cell.
Franc tried for days on end to kick the lid open but to no avail. However, a peculiar thing happened one day when his captor first played the piano while he was locked inside. As Bartolomeo played, Franco lost the ability to speak and all he could do was make vocal gestures, as if he had forgotten the English language altogether. Another strange thing happened when the pianist struck a note: Franc became extremely happy, and so it wasn’t long before Franc decided that should one day his captor free him, he would stay in the piano of his own will. Every day henceforth was wonderful for Franc, as he would wake up early and clean and tune the inside of the piano in preparation to play along with the pianist. Franc had become quite proud of his ability to pluck the strings and beat strong rhythms on the aged wooden walls which enveloped him. Together the sinister pianist and Franc the piano tuner created brilliant masterpieces. That is, until one day while carefully tending to the inner workings of the grand he came upon a hornet’s nest.
Where We Catch Up With the Players (turn on the audio): As Franc cannot call out for help, he attempts to befriend the hornets by singing softly without words. However, the pianist (not aware that a hornet’s nest is inside the piano) is busy playing and Franc, ever so frightened of the hornets, starts frantically plucking and hammering away at the strings. The hornets become curious and fly around and about Franc. Many sit on his shoulder. Sadly, the plan backfires when a hammer hits the nest. The hornets become angry and swarm and sting and sting and sting! Alas, the hornets stings are too much for Franc and as he sings one last note, he dies. His master finally hears the swarm of the hornets and rushes over to pry open the lid in the hope of saving his prisoner, but it is too late and as the lid opens the hornets sting Bartolomeo Cristofori without mercy.
The scene closes tragically with captor and captive together, dead inside the piano.

—————————————
keiichiro shibuya is an electronic musician and sound artist with residence in tokyo. his sound and aesthetics are somewhat close to artists such as ryoji ikeda, alva noto and other musicians belonging to the raster-noton label orbit. also active in the field of sound installations, shibuya has in the past collaborated with takashi ikegami, a researcher in the field of complex systems at the university of tokyo. ikegami and shibuya proposed a new musical theory which under the name “music of the third term” adopted ideas from non-linear dynamics and evolutionary algorithms with the aim to take the process of musical composition beyond the concepts of melody and drone. following these theories together they created “filmachine”, a espectacular and intense sound installation with three-dimensional sound provided by an advanced 24 speaker system. in 2007, this work obtained a mention of honor in the digital music section at the ars electronica festival.
keiichiro shibuya also runs atak, a label and artistic platform dedicated to cutting-edge electronic and electroacoustic music (with artists such as mika vainio, kim cascone or stilluppsteypa) and involving creators from various other fields such as design and network technology.

Call of Works
Computer Music Journal (MIT Press) is calling for submissions for a special issue on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in music, guest edited by Michael Gurevich of the Sonic Arts Research Centre, Queen’s University Belfast.
The availability of powerful, low-cost sensors and embedded hardware that can control real-time audio has facilitated the rapid growth of digital computer interfaces used in music performance. The New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) conference is already coming up on its 10th year since its humble beginning as a workshop within the 2001 CHI conference. NIME has become a discipline in its own right, one whose enthusiastic growth has rendered the CHI platform an inadequate container; however, as a primarily practice-led discipline NIME has as great a potential as ever to inform, and be informed by, HCI.
Accordingly, this issue will step back and view interactive music performance through the lens of HCI. Submissions should report on original research in HCI or allied disciplines (design, cognitive psychology, mechanical engineering, etc.) that is materially relevant to computer music, or vice versa. Papers should make this connection explicit, and therefore co-authored submissions between HCI and computer music researchers or practitioners are particularly encouraged.
Topics may include (but are not limited to):
-novel interaction techniques
-design theory or frameworks
-human performance
-evaluation methods
-tangible representations of musical parameters
-audience cognition of interactive performance
-design case studies
-performers’ or composers’ reports that relate to HCI
Submissions that document a design, performance or composition must clearly advance a theory that is applicable to wider practice.
Submissions will be subject to peer review and should be received by
September 30, 2009.
Refer to the manuscript guidelines at
http://www.mitpressjournals.org/page/sub/comj
Submissions and queries should be addressed to Michael Gurevich

sonic objects #4
Kulturbunker Mülheim, Berliner Str. 20, 51063 Köln
LIVE: Marc Behrens, Radu Malfatti + Lucio Capece
vs.
Luigi Nono
Am 5. Juli treffen in der Reihe sonic objects wieder ungleiche Paare
aufeinander: Mit dem Klangkünstler Marc Behrens (Frankfurt) und dem neuen
Improvisationsduo Radu Malfatti (Wien) + Lucio Capece (Buenos Aires/Berlin)
treten zwei disparate ästhetische Positionen der zeitgenössischen
Experimentalmusik in einen Dialog mit der Musik Luigi Nonos. In einer
Einführung durch Dr. Ioannis Papachristopoulos vom Musikwissenschaftlichen
Institut der Universität zu Köln wird die Brücke zu Nonos elektronischer
Musik auch theoretisch geschlagen. sonic objects ist ein
Veranstaltungsformat, in welchem komponierte elektroakustische Musik auf
zumeist frei gespielte oder improvisierte, vorwiegend aus dem
popmusikalischen Kontext stammende Laptop- und Geräusch-Musik trifft. Die
Reihe geht dabei vom Abenteuer des Hörens aus, das keine akademische
Vorbildung braucht: Es wird zu beweisen sein, dass auf klanglicher Seite
sich die Komponisten und Musiker beider Lager extrem viel zu sagen haben und
die soundästhetischen Unterschiede nicht so groß sind, wie es oft den
Anschein hat.

“Imaginemos un bosque, que además de tener sus sonidos característicos, tiene una docena de bocinas independientes una de la otra,escondidas en los árboles. De una de ellas sale el sonido de un violín, de otra el sonido de un corazón palpitando, de una ultima la risa de un niño pequeño y mientras nosotros caminamos entre este bosque, se va creando una sinfonía de sonidos que juegan uno con el otro, como si se tratase de un cuento de hadas.” Roberto Montiel
Escuchamos un extracto de la pieza Ipso Facto, de CLARA MAIDA, psicóloga y compositora francesa, que intenta conectar la experiencia psíquica y física con el mundo urbano, haciendo que desaparezca la oposición entre objetos y criaturas vivientes. Originalmente, esta pieza está hecha para ser reproducida en siete canales independientes de audio. Podrán escucharla en vivo el viernes 26 de junio a las 8 de la noche en Fonoteca Nacional, antigua casa de Diego Rivera, dentro de las actividades de Circuito Electrovisiones, encuentro de arte digital y nuevos medios . La entrada es gratuita.
