I never miscue a record. I am punctual, well-prepared, and dislike clutter. Outgoing and helpful, I'm always appropriately dressed. I do not behave erratically and have excellent penmanship. My CD's never skip, and I am in good health. I like all the notes, in any order.

Stuff He Made for Acustica
Castanette-Keyboard with a scale of diameters from 1 4/5" to 7 1/5" which can be "tuned" by means of double-bass pegs in the action-tention (with the result that even deep-sounding castanettes will sound clearly when played extremely quickly); two sets of Bull-Roarers (one with an aerodynamic profile, the other out of plain pieces of wood), which are wielded by hand and worked by twisted rubber band. Nail-Violin a form of the idiophonic friction-instrument invented in the mid-18th century, with 16 iron rods of equal width but of different lengths (between 2 1/25 and 16 4/5"; temperature 15√8) which vibrate transversally when played with a cello or double-bass bow. Roundpeg-Violin a version of the nail-violin (9 wooden sticks between 3 23/25" and 3'; temperature 8√9); Scabella clapper-sandals worn by Ancient Roman choir-leaders, but fitted with a hinge in the middle of the sole, so that the performer can achieve audible results with the minimum of effort; Hinged-board (Crepitacolo), a flat piece of wood with various handles attached which the iron parts hit according to the force with which it is shaken back and forth ( a new version of the original church bell); Five-Tongued Ratchet with common crankshaft, the cogwheel frequency of which is tuned in five stages, so that the loudness of the noise can be influenced by altering the tongue-setting; Pick-ups and Diaphragms in as many forms as possible (other than the usual ones), in order to explore the devious route to higher sub-fidelity: e.g. plastic funnel and knife-feather and ukelele, sandpaper and drawing pin, matches with and without box Cross-blower for the timbre-modulation of the pages of a book; Balloons as resonators for wind instruments and as (regained) air-supply in the production of oral processes; Pipe-branch a piece of narrow hose approx. 130' long with connections (on the ends of which organ pipes [mixtures] and penny-whistles are attached), which is fed by a compressed-air cylinder of 27 cubic feet capacity (an "aerophone" for collective use, where only generously-minded players can play together: should one of the performers divert the air-current for himself alone, all the others will be made silent); Gas blow-lamp to produce vibrations in pipes, the fundamental frequency of which is reached by altering its total length; Mutes for wind instruments with built-in loudspeakers which permit a perfect diaphony with the simultaneous playback from the tape recorder of the blown notes; Megaphones likewise with built-in loudspeakers (also to be used by contestants, in which case power-saving cassette-recorders are switched on to drown the puny volume of the official side); Humming-loudspeaker (the German term "Summenlautsprecher" derives both from "Summe" = sum and from "summen" = to hum), the diaphragm of which is worked on with various articles during the performance (so that the loudspeaker becomes more of an instrument than an actual loudspeaker). |

thanx for the Kagel - Bryce
he was the greatest - and taken seriously!
his sound-theater was brilliant
you'll find films on UBU-web
he had invented all these game pieces long time before Zorn took off on such themes

i never got the impression that Kagel was looked down from the academic establishment outside of the occasional 'madhatter' comment. a darn sham, tretastical composer. now i must have a drink in his honor during lunch!

gz, ngh-- that's great to hear! i have no connection to academia (i can assure you)....maybe it's the odd critcal dismissals that stick in my head.
when those films went up on ubu, i immediately made dvds & duped them for everyone's mom. so great. so great.

Fri. 9/19/08 1:49pm
From:

speaking of academia (no connections here either, assured)
Kagel was rejected from the music department in his early days
that's why he turned on literature and philosophy

once more to Kagel (instead of cheese)
he had conducted the piece "finale with chamber orchester"
- part of this he pretended in the midlle to have a heart attack
- people were shocked -
the best child...
