LMJ 11: NOT NECESSARILY "ENGLISH MUSIC": BRITAIN'S SECOND "GOLDEN AGE"
After the first installment of Cool Britannia beguiled the 1960s with its peculiar conflation of Pop, Art, Fashion and Politics, musical experimentation flourished in the U.K. Styles of improvisation, minimalism, electronic music, performance art, political music and "amateur" music grew out of British art schools, universities and urban villages; styles neither as self-important as those of Europe nor as blithely techno- cratic as those of North America-a peculiarly "English Music" (and Scottish and Welsh). Some practition- ers became well-known and influential artists outside of the U.K. (Cornelius Cardew, Michael Nyman, Derek Bailey), while others have remained far too unrecognized abroad.
This volume of Leonardo MusicJournal highlights observers and participants who have contributed their accounts of this latest "Golden Age" of British Music. It is accompanied by a double CD of 27 pioneering U.K. works covering the period between 1960 and 1977.
Leonardo Music Journal Vol. 11, including the double CD, is available from the MIT Press for $30. To
LMJ 11 includes the double audio CD Not Necessarily "English Music," curated by musician, composer, writer and sound curator David Toop. The two CDs feature pieces from pioneering U.K. composers and perform- ers from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s: AMM; Max Eastley; Intermodulation; Frank Perry; Michael Parsons & Howard Skempton; Daphne Oram; abAna; Hugh Davies; Robert Worby; Lol Coxhill & Steve Miller; Spontaneous Music Orchestra; The People Band; Evan Parker & Paul Lytton;John Stevens; Steve
Beresford; Cornelius Cardew &Jane Manning; Ron Geesin; Gentle Fire; Rain in the Face; Ranulph Glanville; The Campiello Band; Mike Cooper; A Touch of the Sun; The Scratch Orchestra; and Frank
Perry, Mongezi Feza & Chris McGregor.
The two-CD set (without the journal) is available for $27 from the Electronic Music Foundation's CDeMu- sic. Visit <http://www.cdemusic.org/store/cde_search.cfm?keywords=eml36>.

The Never-Ending Role of Artists and Scientists in Times of War
Three years ago Leonardo Editorial Advisor Michele Emmer asked: What can artists and scientists do when there is a war? How can we be useful? How can we help to find solutions? How can we avoid the use of the
military while at the same time protecting the lives of innocent civilians? What educational work can we do to avoid violence and war?
These are questions that do not have a deadline, unfortunately. Leonardo and Guest Editor Michele Emmer continue to seek papers discussing these and other topics that
address the role of artists and scientists in times of war. Please send manuscripts or manuscript proposals to Michele Emmer <[email protected] .it> or to
the Leonardo editorial office: LEONARDO, 425 Market Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105, U.S.A. E-mail: <[email protected]>.
Texts that are being published as part of this project include the following:
Published in Vol. 34, No. 1 (2001): * MICHELE EMMER: Artists and War: Answers?
* BULAT GALEYEV: Open Letter to Ray Bradbury
*JOSEPH NECHVATAL: La beaute tragique: Mapping the Militarization of Spatial Cultural Consciousness

Thanks to a grant from the French Ministry of Culture, a web site dedicated to the work of Frank Malina, the founding editor of Leonardo, has been launched. We are interested in locating any archival materials,
correspondences or other texts that are relevant to this archive. We are also seeking documentation and
correspondence relevant to the first decade of Leonardo, from 1965 to 1975.
Individuals with access to archival materials that could be incorporated into the FrankJ. Malina Archives or that could be made available on-line on the FrankJ. Malina web site <http://www.olats.org/pionniers/ma- lina/malina.shtml> are invited to contact: Jocelyne Rotily, Curator. E-mail: <[email protected]>. Postal address: 174 Bis, rueJean Mermoz, 13008 Marseilles, France.

Frank J. Malina Web Site
Frank Malina was a kinetic artist, research engineer, scientist and founding editor of the journal Leonardo. Art historian Frank Popper is correct to point out that it is no easy task to attach a label to FrankJ. Malina's career and achievements. In striving to reconcile artists and scientists he opposed strict classifications, and in his own life he embodied the ideals of the open-minded and multidiscliplinary scholar-and-artist of the Renaissance.
The FrankJ. Malina web site <http://www.olats.org/pionniers/malina/malina.shtml> has been designed to bring to the fore the many facets of FrankJ. Malina's personality and to show the innovative quality of his
accomplishments both in astronautics and in the development of the kinetic arts. It provides a great variety of material (some never previously published) of scientific and artistic nature:
* An illustrated biography referring to the most important episodes in Malina's life * A virtual gallery dedicated to Frank Malina's artwork * Bibliographical data including works by and about Frank Malina * An unpublished monograph on FrankJ. Malina by Frank Popper: "Frank Malina, Artist and Scientist:
Works from 1936 to 1963" * A conversation between FrankJ. Malina and artists Gorin, Xavier de la Salle and Cesar Domela * A section entitled "Testimonies and Memories," a body of texts written by individuals who were part of
Frank Malina's life.
All this and more can be found on the OLATS web site dedicated to this extraordinary pioneer in the field of art-and-technology: <http://www.olats.org/pionniers/malina/malina.shtml>.

Groove, Pit and Wave-Recording, Transmission and Music
Despite Thomas Edison's assumption that the gramophone was nothing more than a sonic autograph album, suitable only for playing back the speeches of famous people, over the last 100 years recording has
radically transformed the composition, dissemination and consumption of music. Similarly, the business- like dots & dashes of Morse and Marconi have evolved into a music-laden web of radio masts, dishes, satel-
lites, cables and servers. Sound is encoded in grooves on vinyl, particles on tape and pits in plastic; it travels as acoustic pressure, electromagnetic waves and pulses of light.
The rise of the DJ in the last two decades has signaled the arrival of the medium as the instrument-the
crowning achievement of a generation for whom tapping the remote control is as instinctive as tapping two sticks together. Turntables, CD players, radios, tape recorders (and their digital emulations) are played, not
merely heard; scratching, groove noise, CD glitches, tape hiss and radio interference are the sound of
music, not sound effects. John Cage's 1960 "Cartridge Music" has yet to enter the charts, but its sounds are
growing more familiar.
For this issue of the Leonardo Music Journal we invite authors to submit articles on the role of recording and/or transmission in the creation, performance and distributi6n of music.
DEADLINES
15 October, 2002: rough proposals, queries
1 January 2003: submission of finished article
Address inquiries to Nicolas Collins, Editor-in-Chief, at: <[email protected]>. Finished articles should be sent to the LMJ Editorial Office <[email protected]>.
Note: LMJ is a peer-reviewedjournal. All manuscripts are reviewed by LMJ Editors, Editorial Board mem- bers and/or members of the LMJ community prior to acceptance.

Leonardo is internationally recognized as a prime site for the discussion of the interfaces between art and science. In 1971 it publishedJ.J. Gibson's article "The Information Available in Pictures," which led to a
response from E.H. Gombrich that, in turn, led to a debate.
One of the difficulties of constructing cross-disciplinary debates is that they get marginalized through aca- demic citation conventions. A psychologist is more likely to cite material from psychologyjournals than from any other source. The arguments of artists and art historians quoting psychological material and ad-
vancing psychological arguments are not likely to be treated as seriously as specialist arguments. This situa- tion creates a problem for scientific advancement, as, more often than not, scientific advance is precipitated by happy accident or an observation that upsets the applecart.
Researcher Richard Woodfield contends that Gombrich upset Gibson's applecart in the pages of Leonardo. Gombrich's direction of interest was in the psychology of pictorial representation, which entails an interest in the psychology of perception. Gibson, whose major interest was in the psychology of perception, regarded pictures as a nuisance factor that had to be accommodated within his general theory. These two directions of interest meet in cognitive science, where the image plays a central role in accounting for visual percep- tual processes.
Richard Woodfield has made much of the material relevant to this discussion available on the web site "The Gombrich Archive" <www.gombrich.co.uk> and has issued a call for contributions to be published on that website. Contributions may be up to 5,000 words with up to 12 illustrations; the normal copyright conven- tions apply.
If sufficiently interesting material is received within 18 months, an article will be prepared for Leonardo, to revisit the debate 30 years on.
The Leonardo Electronic Directory Leonardo maintains an on-line directory called the Leonardo Electronic Directory on the World Wide Web. The direc-
tory covers worldwide resources, individuals and organizations in the arts, sciences and technology. The URL for the Leonardo Electronic Directory is http://mitpress.mit.edu/e-journals/Leonardo/led.dir.html

The mission of the Leonardo Book Series, published by the MIT Press, is to publish texts by artists, scien-
tists, researchers and scholars that present innovative discourse on the convergence of art, science and
technology. Envisioned as a catalyst for enterprise, research and creative and scholarly experimentation, the book series enables diverse intellectual communities to explore common grounds of expertise. The Leonardo Book Series provides for the contextualization of contemporary practice, ideas and frameworks
represented by those working at the intersection of art and science.
Book proposals addressing theory, research and practice, education, historical scholarship, discipline sum-
maries, collections, and experimental texts will be considered.
In preparing your proposal, bear in mind that we need to know as much as possible about your book, in-
cluding its scope, its intended audience, and information on how you think we could best promote the book to that audience. We also need to be convinced that you can present what you have to say in a way that will be useful, interesting and important to your readers.
Your proposal should include the following four items:
I. A prospectus describing your intentions. II. A detailed table of contents.
III. Two to four sample chapters that demonstrate the clarity and precision of your prose and the appeal of
your expository strategy. IV. An up-to-date curriculum vita or resume.
Inquiries and proposals can be submitted to:

ISEA 2002 Eleventh International Symposium on Electronic Art
Nagoya, Japan 27-31 October 2002
Theme "Ourai"
"Ourai" is aJapanese word, used since early times, meaning people's comings and goings, traffic, associa- tion and so on. About 200 years ago, a book titled Nagoya Ourai was compiled and published in Nagoya, which was used as a kind of textbook for teaching and writing. ISEA 2002 Nagoya will function as a field of Ourai (transmission) between art and sciences. With this purpose in mind we are planning several concrete sub-themes.
ISEA 2002 will be the arena for three different kinds of Ourai: the search for relations with industry, a place where participants from Asia and all over the world can communicate and share ideas, and a place where citizens can enjoy events. Like the book Nagoya Ourai, we hope that ISEA 2002 will create a new text of al- ternative literacy in the electronic age.
The Nagoya area is one of the largest industrial areas in Japan. The areas around Nagoya Port, which will be the main site of ISEA 2002, are rich in traditional culture. With 10 years of experience with ARTEC Bi-
ennale, Nagoya has a proven reputation in a related field. With this background, Nagoya will serve as a new milestone for the ISEA symposium, which will be held in Asia for the first time.
Host Organization: ISEA 2002
The Nagoya Steering Committee will be established in the end ofJune 2001, including such organizations as:
* MEDIASELECT
* City of Nagoya, Nagoya Port Authority, other public governments * Art Universities, School of Informatics, Institutes
* ISEAJapan, academic societies
* Nagoya Urban Institute, artport Executive Committee, other organizations
