Forensic Technologies in Music Copyright
The essay explores some recent controversies in British music copyright through the evolving technologies used to perform or play music in the courtroom. While the conceptual tension between cases has caused doctrinal anxiety about the effect of popular music in copyright, the essay contends that the recent stream of music copyright cases can be considered from a historical perspective, taking into account the tools, materials and experts as they featured in court. In doing so, the essay connects a history of legal expertise to the emergence of new technologies while arguing that legal knowledge about music copyright was, in fact, stabilised in the courtroom
Into the sounding environment A compositional approach
The focus of the compositional approach presented in this folio is the sounding environment. The term sounding environment is used in this context to refer to the whole of our living experience in the world which we might register as relating to sound. It might include everything that is sounding, seemingly sounding, imagined sounding, remembered sounding, sensed as sounding, composed to sound. It includes thus the actual sound environment, all that is sensed or interpreted as sound and imaginary sounds.
This dissertation accompanies the seven acousmatic and the two sound installation works included in the folio. It is divided into two parts. In the first part relevant ideas and theories both from the literature of electroacoustic music composition and soundscape composition are discussed while in the second the compositional approach to the sounding environment is presented as applied to the works
Radioteatro en Italia. Narrativa entre la radiodifusión pública y los nuevos espacios digitales
This paper analyzes Italian radio theatre evolution and its ability to put itself always in the middle between radio and other expressive media: theater, cinema, comics, daily news, books and Internet. Starting from the analysis of the main evolutionary phases of this complex radio genre, this contribution illustrates the complexity of radio theater as one of the treasures brought to light by media archeology, which lends itself almost naturally to disciplinary and media crossings. In this expressive format, belonging to media proto history, lurks a deeply complex nature and fervent creativity, which rediscovers in the ether an amplifier of the digital, a new space of expressiveness and diversification of its audience.Este artículo analiza la evolución del radioteatro italiano y su habilidad para posicionarse siempre entre la radio y otros formatos expresivos: teatro, cine, cómics, noticias de actualidad, libros e Internet. Partiendo del análisis de las principales fases de este complejo género radiofónico, esta aportación ilustra la complejidad del radioteatro como uno de los tesoros que salen a la luz a través de la arqueología de los medios, que contribuye de forma natural al cruce entre disciplinas y medios. En esta forma expresiva, que se atribuye a la protohistoria de los medios de comunicación, se encuentra una profunda, compleja y ferviente creatividad, que redescubre en el espectro un amplificador de lo digital, un nuevo espacio de expresividad y una diversificación de su público
Sculpting a mobile musical soundtrack
We present an in-the-wild project to design and study a mobile musical soundtrack that enhances the experience of visiting a sculpture park. As with soundtracks for films and games, the goal was to enhance the emotional and narrative aspects of the experience while remaining in the background. We describe a compositional approach in which we first established a broad musical landscape before treating specific exhibits with detailed musical trajectories. Our study reveals how our soundtrack dramatically shaped visitors’ experiences while they remained largely unaware of its operation. We distil seven experiential factors to be addressed by mobile soundtracks alongside ten compositional guidelines
