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

Roberto Bolaño, la memoria antiheroica del exilio chileno
No full textThis article discusses the personality and the work of the Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño in an attempt to expand on the relationship between the author and his homeland Chile. Even though Bolaño left Chile at an early age and lived in many countries throughout his life, he tried to regain his roots as reflected in the novels about the Chilean dictatorship, Estrella distante and Nocturno de Chile. The author also attempts to vindicate his own origin in his literary alterego Arturo Belano. Thus, this article will highlight and analyse the relation between Roberto Bolaño and Chile through the antiheroic vision given not only to the characters but also to the settings of the narratives.Este artículo se centra en la personalidad del escritor chileno Roberto Bolaño y su obra para profundizar en la relación existente entre el autor y Chile, su país de origen. Pese a haber abandonado el país siendo muy joven y a haber residido en otros países a lo largo de su vida, Bolaño nunca perdió el interés por recuperar sus raíces chilenas tanto como lo reflejan las novelas que dedica a la dictadura chilena, Estrella distante y Nocturno de Chile sobre todo, así como por reivindicar su propio origen a través de su álter ego literario Arturo Belano. En este artículo se señalarán y analizarán estas relaciones entre Roberto Bolaño y Chile a través de la visión antiheroica que el autor confiere tanto a los ambientes como a los personajes que articulan su narrativa

Historia y taxonomía: redescripción de Liolaemus andinus Koslowsky, 1895 y descripción de dos nuevas especies de Liolaemus (Iguania: Liolaemidae)
No full textDebido a la falta de información sobre la procedencia exacta de colecta de los ejemplares dela serie tipo Liolaemus andinus y posterior pérdida, durante mucho tiempo se asignaron a estaespecie varias poblaciones con características morfológicas dispares, lo que trajo como problema la identificación del verdadero L. andinus. Este estudio comenzó en el año 2004 y luegode dieciséis años de investigación de las poblaciones asignadas o relacionadas a L. andinus, sela redescribe, se designa un neotipo, se considera su probable procedencia y se aportan datosde su biología y distribución. Asimismo, se presenta una hipótesis sobre la procedencia y distribución de L andinus basada en argumentos biológicos e históricos. También se determinala posición taxonómica de las poblaciones asignadas y confundidas con L. andinus, varias delas cuales tienen afinidad con Liolaemus poecilochromus y Liolaemus rosenmanni. Los análisismorfológicos y moleculares desarrollados en este estudio, nos permiten describir dos nuevasespecies de Liolaemus, que anteriormente eran identificadas y confundidas con Liolaemusandinus. Estos nuevos taxones habitan en la región fitogeográfica altoandina de Argentina, enaltitudes mayores a 3000 m s.n.m; una se distribuye en el suroeste de la provincia de Catamarcay la restante en el centro oeste de la provincia de La Rioja. Las diferencias morfológicas mássignificativas entre estas nuevas especies y Liolaemus andinus se encuentran principalmente enel patrón de coloración y algunos caracteres de lepidosis relacionados al número de escamas.Fil: Abdala, Cristian Simón.

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
