track 1. noto
time..dot, track 2, Untitled (1999)
Noto and alva noto are two of several pseudonyms that the German artist and musician Carsten Nicolai (1965) uses as a musician and performer. In his work Carsten Nicolai seeks to overcome a separation of art forms and genres for an integrated artistic approach. Influenced by scientific reference systems, Nicolai often engages mathematic patterns such as grids and codes, as well as error, random and self-organising structures.

Rainforest – Versions 1 (1968) excerpt
for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company
David Tudor and Takehisa Kosugi, live electronics
David Tudor was a pianist, composer and performer of electronic music. He studied organ, theory, piano, composition and analysis and became one of the leading avant-garde pianists of the 20th century. He gave highly acclaimed performances of works by composers such as Earle Brown, Morton Feldman, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Christian Wolff, Stephan Wolpe, and La Monte Young. In the early fifties Tudor began working with John Cage, as a member of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company and with Cage’s Project of Music for Electronic Tape. Tudor gradually ended his active career as a pianist, turning exclusively to the composition of live electronic music.

Additionally he works with software for live audio processing and audio editing, and with a large variety of analog and digital electronic instruments.   “Currently I work with interactive and semi interactive software environments, along with pre made sample structures and soundscapes, which enables me to build musical structures with certain amounts of predictable and unpredictable freedom of interaction with amplified Bass Clarinet. I have performed contemporary compositions for Bass Clarinet, with or without tape. At the moment i mostly study extended playing techniques and freeform improvisation.”

track 8. Dick Raaijmakers (1930-2013)
Canon 5: Super "Dis-Moi" (1967)
Dick Raaijmakers was a Dutch composer, theater maker, performer, installation artist, composition teacher, musical activist and theorist. He was one of  the pioneers of electronic music at the Philips Research Laboratories between 1954 and 1960. In 1966 he started to teach at the composition department of the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague where he became an innovator in music education. He drew much inspiration for his writings and for his artistic work from the lectures that he prepared for his students and the performances that he created with his students. Over the years Raaijmakers set up two entirely new departments at the Royal Conservatoire, the sound engineering departement (now Art of Sound) and the Interfaculty Sound and Image (now Art|Science), where he continued to hold guest lectures until 2005, ten years after his retirement. In 2006 Basta Music re-released Dick Raaijmakers’ Complete Tape Music (originally published in 1998 by NEAR/Donemus) and in 2007 V2_ in Rotterdam published Raaijmakers’ Monography, a book which provides a detailed overview of Raaijmakers artistic body of work. Raaijmakers’ archive was donated to the Netherlands Music Insitute and is currently being processed at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague.
