buy a field recorder and record a bunch of random sounds, mesh them together and edit the hell out of them (like cutting them up, reversing the sound, make it slower or faster, ect.) with a digital audio work station of your choice. that or you could record everything on a cassette tape, and rig up something where you output the sound through a series of guitar pedals before it comes out the speakers
Hi Gilang, the students used a very wide range of their own effects pedals. Was there a specific pedal in the video you were interested in? I can't promise I will be able to identify it, but I can try.
@@EndaBates I was drawn to the sound created in the work. therefore I want to know, what effect does it support to produce a variety of sounds such as in the work? can I have an email to get more familiar?
@@EndaBates Thank you for your attention. i want to study Electroacoustic Music for Exam materials in my College.. I want to perform electroacoustic music with kacapi instrument ( traditional musical instrument) . i want to know how to create or how systematic electroacoustic it is? I'm very interested, I want to be able to get into that genre of music. If you have a journal or paper on Electroacoustic music, can I ask?
@@Gilangr662 Hi Gilang, well there are multiple different pieces in the video, and they all use different effects, processing, and other hardware, so you'll need to be more specific. In a very general sense, you can start exploring using effects with an acoustic instrument such as a kacapi in a few different ways. Firstly, you will need some type of pickup, contact microphone, or microphone to capture the sound of the instrument. You can then send this either to some hardware effects pedals (as some of the students in the video did), or alternatively you can send the microphone signal into a computer and then process it using effects plugins. Reaper is a very cost effective piece of software which will allow you to do that, but of course you could use ProTools, Ableton Live, Cubase, or many other DAWs also. It's a very wide topic so I don't have a specific journal or paper, but if you search online I'm sure you will be able to find plenty of material.
Hi George, that is a custom instrument made by the student James Kelly. If I remember correctly it was effectively a resonant wooden box with contact mics mounted internally, and with various objects mounted on the top (some springs, a guitar string, sandpaper, a thumb piano, etc). The mic signals were routed into Ableton Live and the MIDI controller used to alter various effects plugins in Ableton during the performance. It's a really cool instrument!
Excuse me but how are these considered electro-acoustic music compositions? There is no genre relationship, there is no form. Neither the acoustic instruments nor the electronic instruments are performing harmonic chord progressions or melodies. There is no rhythm section, nor any songwriting techniques. These are just sounds and noises. Is this what a Music Technology course is all about? I was thinking of enrolling but if this is the case this is definitely NOT the right course for me. I appreciate your answer. Thank you
Hi Fulape, well one of the points to remember about electroacoustic music is that it can involve any possible type of sound. It doesnt necessarily have to contain harmonic chord progressions, melodies, or rhythms. The sound of places and environments, and indeed noise are all potential material to be used musically too. I recommend reading Simon Emmerson's Living Electronic Music for a good overview of all the many different approaches that different electroacoustic composers have taken.
@@EndaBates Hi, thank you so much for replying. I did some research on electroacoustic music and now I understand what it is. Thank you for your explanation too. With this info, I conclude that a music technology course might not be for me because I do not feel inspired to create "noizy" artzy type of music. I am more into creating commercial popular music or electronic music. I thought that a music technology course was aimed for making electronic/dance synthy music lol. It's a shame but I think that most Music Technology courses are based on electroacoustic music, correct?
@@Fuiape no problem Fulape :) I cant speak for other music technology courses and there are many of all types. For us though, one of the reasons we look at experimental and electroacoustic music is that it tries to look at new ways of doing things, whether thats new instruments and interfaces, or indeed new types of music. And of course if you get into sound design, or composing for games, VR, or film, then a lot of the same techniques cross over from electroacoustic music. So a composer might look at how to connect and relate synth sounds to different elements of a field recording just as part of a soundscape composition. But sound designers might do exactly the same thing, but instead as a way of connecting the sound design to the soundtrack for the game/film/VR app, etc.
And of course music tech covers an awful lot of different topics. Electroacoustic Composition is just one of a number of optional modules in our program, for example.
Cool stuff, this programme looks amazing.
Thanks Timothy!
Very nice! May I ask where to star to experiment with this type of music? Is there a software to use? Are there any tutorials? Thank you very much. :)

6:48 That's cool ! What is it on the guitar neck and pickups7:55 ? and what does it works? thanks~
Hey, at 7'55 you can see an ebow placed onto the strings (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBow). It's a device for infinitely sustaining a string.
@@EndaBates Thanks for your information !
@@ANN-ne4lf You are very welcome! :)

@@EndaBates do you think a korg music workstation is suitable for electroacoustic music or its not that useful ?
