Global Crossings: The Cultural Roots of Globalization

The editors of Leonardo seek papers about the cultural roots (artistic and scientific) of globalization. Possi- ble topics include, but are not limited to:

* Planet Earth as artistic material * Creolization (the phenomenon of metissage, transnational cultural relationships) * Global climate (a sensory experience of the climate as possible corrective of global thinking) * Migrations (mobility in general) * Geography in a globalized world (places, cities, continents, world regions, approaches to space and

time in general) * Transportation in a globalized world (travel poetry in a world with new means of transportation) * The Internet and tele-technologies in their planetary dimensions * Net Art, telematic art and planetary issues * Overview effect (e.g. use and consequences of GPS and satellite technologies)

The guest editors for the project are: Julien Knebusch, Annick Bureaud, Mark Beam and Roger Malina.

A Leonardo Working Group for the project includes: Roger F. Malina, Annick Bureaud, Herve Fischer,

Jacques Arnould, Bernardo Cinquetti andJulien Knebusch.

Leonardo Music Journal Volume 12

The LMJ series is devoted to aesthetic and technical issues in contemporary music and the sonic arts. Cur- rently under the editorship of Nicolas Collins, each thematic issue features artists/writers from around the world, representing a wide range of stylistic viewpoints. Each volume includes the latest offering from the LMJ CD series-an exciting sampling of curious and unusual, but eminently listenable, music. Indepen- dently curated and annotated by experts and aficionados, these CDs offer a feast for the ear and mind alike. LMJ is available by subscription from the MIT Press. Visit <http://mitpress.mit.edu>.

LMJ12: PLEASURE

From its naughty lyric content to the pounding physicality of its sound, Pop music is unabashedly driven by the pleasure principle. "Serious" music, however, is usually perceived as more refined, genteel or-to put it another way-repressed. And the avant-garde has traditionally found itself in the peculiar position of ac- companying bohemian, hedonistic lifestyles with a defiantly itchy and uncomfortable music. But are plea- sure and thoughtful invention necessarily at odds? Can there be no "bump and mind"?

What of the Maryanne Amacher fan who spent 2 hours at the Kitchen, body pressed close to subwoofer? What of the delight experienced by virtuosi in particular finger-tickling passages? What of the trance-like state induced by the Perfect Fifth of the tambura, and all its Western imitators? What of the gratifying, sternum-thudding din of Rhys Chatham's guitar pieces or the heaving, well-oiled muscularity of Gordon Monahan's swingers?

For nigh on a half-century, journalists have tried to raise Pop out of the gutter and convince us of its intel- lectual merit, but there has been scant critical attention paid to the feel-good factor of "serious" music. The time has come to think of libido and Ligeti in the same breath: in LMJ12 we reflect on the role of pleasure in all genres of music.

This volume includes articles by: Ben Neill, David Byrne, Bob Ostertag, Arthur Elsenaar and Remko Scha, Reinhold Friedl, Ricardo Arias, Frieder Butzmann, Gil Weinberg, Dave Soldier, Marina Rosenfeld, Robert Wilsmore, Bruce Crossman, Amnon Wolman, Yale Evelev, Robert Poss, David Rosenboom.

LMJ12 CD INCLUDED IN ISSUE

LMJ12 includes an audio CD curated by Christian Scheib and Susanna Niedermayr: From Gdansk tillDawn: Contemporary Experimental Music from Eastern Europe. The CD features works from throughout Eastern Europe by: Tigrics, Olga+Jozef, Wolfram, nicron, EA, Daniel Matej, Borut Savski, Molr Drammaz, the Abstract Monarchy Trio, Arszyn, Vladimir Djambazov, Jeanne Fremaux, Arkona, Vapori del Cuore and Martin Burlas.

Leonardo Music Journal Vol. 12, including CD, is available from the MIT Press for $30. To order, send email to <[email protected]> or visit <http://mitpress.mit.edu>.

Leonardo Music Journal Volume 14

Composers inside Electronics: Music after David Tudor

"In my electronics ... I try to find out what's there-not to make it do what I want but to release what's there.... The object should teach you what it wants to hear." With this simple but subversive recipe, David Tudor articulated a profound shift in the aesthetics of electronic music.

Inspired by Tudor (and other composer/luthiers like David Behrman and Gordon Mumma) and aided by the Lego-like modularity of integrated circuits, the experimental music community in the 1970s adopted a new working method based on seat-of-the-pants electronic engineering. The circuit-whether home-made, self-hacked or store-bought but scrutinized-to-death-became the score.

A generation later, aspects of the Tudor aesthetic have spread well beyond the avant-garde: hip-hop, house and other forms of dance music and electronica share a similar obsession with the quirks intrinsic to spe- cific pieces of audio gear. Every pop producer has a signature gizmo. The latest software plug-ins emulate obsolete but beloved hardware. We've become virtuosos of Tudor's practice of listening to the object, but the regularity and repetition of techno could not be from the tangle of Tudor's music.

For this issue of the Leonardo MusicJournal, we invite authors to submit articles on any aspect of the work of David Tudor (both in its historical context and as it applies to music and art today), on the influence of Tudor's ideas on their own work, or on the role of technological idiosyncrasies in their composition, per- formance or production.

Leonardo Book Series

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.

Submission Guidelines: <http://mitpress.mit.edu/authors/ms-submission.html>.

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:
