A Digital Sound Synthesizer Keyboard

The keyboard which is the subject of this paper is the musician's principal input device to the EGG sound-synthesizer which has been built in a cooperative project between the Computer Science and Musicology Acoustics Departments at Aarhus University with the kind support of the Danish State Research Council. The goal of the project is to produce a sound synthesizer which, in contrast to the much more common analog synthesizers, 1) possesses fully programmable sound generation, 2) is multi-voiced without losing flexibility, and 3) has a touch-sensitive keyboard; that is to say, an advanced musical instrument and new acoustic tool in one. The synthesizer consists of four principal components a minicomputer (a TI 960A with 32k memory and standard input/output devices); a keyboard; a sound-generating unit; and a controlling software program. Finn Egeland Hansen of the Institute of Musicology has managed the project, Mike Manthey has written the software and was also the originator of the seminal ideas in the project, and the hardware was designed by Kurt H. Andersen, also a member of the Computer Science Department. The actual construction of the hardware was primarily the responsibility of Finn Soeberg Sorensen. A number of students in both departments have also taken part in and contributed to the project. This article contains a detailed description of the EGG keyboard. The sound-generating unit is described in [Andersen]; the system in general is described in the articles by Manthey (see References).

The Bydgoszcz Festival Celebrating Poland's Thousand Years

Bydgoszcz... without a little practice and expert instruction, who could reliably spell this cryptic place-name? Or conquer the pronunciation of its sternutatory consonants? Yet in the memories of those who in September 1966 attended a notable Festival of Old Music of Central and Eastern Europe, Bydgoszcz will always stand for an extraordinary gathering of musicians and scholars who came to this pleasant provincial capital to celebrate the Polish millenium with music and musicology.l The idea of using the Polish anniversary not as a nationalistic event but rather as an occasion for a much broader survey seems to me characteristic of the maturity and energy of Polish intellectual life. Leading specialists from Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Rumania, and Russia were invited to deliver comprehensive historical summaries of their musical traditions up to 1800. Then a series of concerts performed by outstanding organizations and soloists from each of these countries illustrated the lectures with representative compositions chosen from the whole vast panorama of Eastern European music. The initiator of the Festival, Professor Zofia Lissa, Director of the Musicological Institute of the University of Warsaw, is well known in international musicological circles both for her many publications (in an astounding variety of languages) and her regular contributions to international congresses. Not merely an initiator, she served as chairman of the Festival and editor of the volume of papers prepared for delivery in Bydgoszcz. One might have expected such a festival to have been held in Warsaw, where in the previous week the Congress of IAML was held, and only one week later a festival of contemporary music took place. Perhaps the idea was to furnish some change from Warsaw-and possibly some relief or breathing spell for the official musical personnel there. Whatever the actual motivations for the festival selection of Bydgoszcz, visitors quickly

Supplemental Note on a Recent Javanese Gamelan Record

palace, the pendapa Sasan6ws k . The music on the Philips disc consists of com ositions played during these rehearsal-peri ds at the request of Mr. Nusjirwan Tirtaamidjaja, who also made the recordings, late in December 1963. Copies of Mr. Tirtaamidjaja's recordings were deposited in the Ethnomusicological Archive section of the Institute of Musicology, University of Amsterdam. In homage to its founder and former director, the late Dr. Jaap Kunst, the Archive chose two pieces from Mr. Tirtaamidjaja's collection and edited them as a gramophone record. The following note is not designed to demonstrate the disc's various merits or demerits. It is merely intended to supply some additional relevant information which, for lack of space, could not be included in the notes on the record's sleeve.
