- Additional information
- This multi-component output consists of a journal article (the main component) that contains and refers to various audio, video and data files. Although all of these files are integral to the article, one in particular is significant enough to be considered to be another major component of the output. The audio file in question eg12 Studie_ii_master_44.aif (‘Sound clip 10 final mix’, accessed via https://doi.org/10.7488/ds/325) is a complete realisation of the fixed media piece Studie II (Stockhausen, 1954) published by Williams in 2015: it exists as a complete work of electronic music in its own right. (Other people listed on the webpage provided only technical support for the creation of the realisation and documentation.)
The realisation is a new version of the original tape music piece from 1954, made using a combination of original tape and studio tools and techniques, based on archival and ethnographic research, alongside some contemporary digital techniques where appropriate. This new realisation of Stockhausen’s piece was performed in public in a peer-reviewed context on 25th June 2015 at the Music and Sonic Arts Conference concerts, Institute for Musicology and Music Informatics, Karlsruhe, Germany. Although only 3 minutes and 3 seconds long, the realisation represents a significant element of the submission due partly to the c.250 hours of work that went into producing it. The output is submitted as multi-component because the article fundamentally draws on the practical process of realising the piece in order to make the main arguments, and the production of the piece fundamentally draws on the archival, ethnographic and practical research described in the article in order to create a piece worthy of performance.
