PRESET – Principles of Electronic Sound Production: Systematization and Elaboration of a Terminology
Final Report Abstract
There is a striking disproportion between the omnipresence of electronic sound, both in all art forms and everyday life, and the shortage of terminological tools capable of apprehending this phenomenon in a suitably scientifical way. The aim of the project was therefore to carry out a systematization of this field that exceeds the scope of previous approaches. This allows the development of a refined terminology which in turn provides new tools for a discourse on electronically produced sounds. To this end, fundamental work has been carried out in examining the evolution of technologies and concepts of electronic sound production from a musicological as well as from a (musically) practical perspective. The key element of this approach is an indepth survey of several electronic music studios: a large proportion of the innovations and impulses that defined a new type of musical practice originated here, however a vast number of their informational resources have not yet been explored. Besides the detailed discussion of the structure and nature of the studio as the “instrument of electronic music”, the focus of this approach is to examine the actual working processes of each studio as well as the possible interconnections between composers, technicians, scientists etc. An ontology-based semantic data structure adapted to the field of electronically generated sounds was developed, into which the information obtained can be transferred. This enables the identification and evaluation of constellations and developments that would not be directly accessible from the data. Another advantage of this approach is the principle-based interconnection with already existing ontologies. Through the possible future expansion of the database, the discourse on the fundamental concepts of electronic sound generation can thus be continuously developed.
