Audiomobiles, Sculptures and Conundrums
No full textRoberto Gerhard was a pioneer of electronic music in England creating a number of substantial concert, theatre and radio works from as early as 1954. Gerhard’s electronic music is one of the richest repositories for understanding the development of the composer’s late compositional technique. Apart from the Symphony no.3, ‘Collages’, none of Gerhard’s electronic music is published. This paper will discuss aspects of Gerhard’s electronic music, focusing on Audiomobiles (1958-59) and Sculptures (1963)
Roberto Gerhard’s Sound Compositions: A Historical-Philological Perspective. Archive, Process, Intent and reenactment
No full textThis research advances the current state of knowledge in the field of early tape music both empirically and methodologically. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact that the electronic medium exerted in the musical thinking of Roberto Gerhard, one of the most outspoken, prolific and influential composers in the Spanish diaspora whose musical legacy, for the most part unknown, is a major landmark in the early history of electroacoustic music. Gerhard’s personal tape collection, one of the largest historical archives of its kind reported in the literature, is exceptional for both its antiquity (50+-year-old tapes) and its abundance of production materials. Through the digitisation and analysis of the composer’s tape collection this research argues that the empirical study of audio documents sets out a basis for a broader understanding of textual processes. More specifically, the research demonstrates that the reconstruction of works based on magnetic tape sketches is a powerful method to advance the understanding of early tape music. This research also examines Gerhard’s sound compositions in relation to the post-war context in which they were composed. Finally, this research presents performance documentation that proposes an approach to the electroacoustic music repertoire in which creativity is not at odds with rigor and critical discernment demonstrating that archival study can be closely aligned to the concept of re-enactment

Uncertainty: Words on the loose [Future Trends in I&M]
No full textDear readers,
The guest author for writing the column of this issue dedicated to young and brilliant engineers is Roberto Tin- arelli. Perhaps no longer so young but surely brilliant! He is Senior Member IEEE and recipient of the 2013 “Outstanding Reviewers” award from the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society. Roberto distinguishes himself not only for his long list of publications but also for his presence in three world patents: a presettable trans- ducer for electrical quantities; a capacitive sensor to sense an electric field generated by a conductor; and an apparatus for sensing the im- pact of a body on a strip located on a support.
I leave you to his nice contribution
“De olho no Planalto”: Os presidenciáveis de 1989 nas páginas de Manchete
No full textThis article seeks to analyze the presentation of candidates for the presidency of the Republic, in the 1989 election, carried out by the weekly magazine Manchete - published in Brazil between 1952 and 2000, by Bloch Editores. The weekly's interest in the presidential candidates motivated the production of a series of reports called “De olho no Planalto” – in free translation, “With an eye towards the Planalto Palace”, the seat of the Brazilian government –, which highlighted the profile of 11 politicians involved in the dispute. The election was the first in 29 years to allow direct and popular voting for the design of a head of government, a right denied by the military dictatorship. The peculiarities of Manchete, a press publication with great prestige and popularity of the second half of the twentieth century, make it an excellent source, still insufficiently explored in historiographical works aimed at the political observation of the context.O presente artigo busca analisar a apresentação dos candidatos à presidência da República, na eleição de 1989, efetuada pela revista semanal Manchete – publicada no Brasil, pela Bloch Editores, entre 1952 e 2000. O interesse do semanário pelos presidenciáveis motivou a produção de uma série de reportagens denominada “De olho no Planalto”, onde se ressaltou o perfil de 11 políticos envolvidos na disputa. A eleição foi a primeira em 29 anos a permitir o voto direto e popular para o desígnio de um chefe de governo, um direito negado pela ditadura militar. As peculiaridades de Manchete, periódico de grande prestígio e popularidade da segunda metade do século XX, a tornam uma excelente fonte, ainda pouco explorada em trabalhos historiográficos dirigidos à observação política do contexto

No full textEm 21 de abril de 1993, o eleitor brasileiro foi convocado a comparecer às urnas para participar do Plebiscito sobre a Forma e o Sistema de Governo.

A partir das informações e opiniões prestadas pelo semanário, este trabalho visa captar percepções contextuais sobre a campanha parlamentarista republicana, atendo-se à pertinência do uso de periódicos como fontes históricas
