Saturday, March 5 | 8 pm | CNMAT | Earl Howard and David Wessel | Concert | $10 general, $5 students | There is little in today's world of music that is more complex and challenging than Howard's ensemble scores, so alien to melody and rhythm as one can be without sounding cacophonous. Each movement relies on counterpoint and juxtaposition, not on narrative development. It takes a while to realize that the synth is being used as a peer instrument to the others, not as a "novelty item" that "must" play a different role, and to realize that very few musicians have managed to demistify electronics the way Howard does. Whenever the harsh tones prevail, for example, Howard resists the temptation to use the synth to outperform everybody else. In fact, one could even argue that, most of the time, Howard does not use the synth as a keyboard at all. All the instruments are merely tools in the hands of the musicians: it is the musicians, not the instruments, that create the music. |

Tuesday, March 29 | 4 pm | CNMAT | David Temperley, University of Rochester | Lecture | Free |
TONAL IMPLICATION, TONAL AMBIGUITY, AND TONALNESS In this talk I investigate three tonal properties of pitch-class sets: tonal implication (the implied key or keys), tonal ambiguity (whether the set implies just one key or several), and tonalness (the degree to which the set is characteristic of common-practice tonality). I begin by proposing a simple probabilistic model of tonal implication, and show how this leads naturally to models of tonal ambiguity and tonalness. I then investigate some applications of these models. I ---------- David Temperley is Assistant Professor of Music Theory at the Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester. His main interest is computational modeling of processes of music cognition: the perception of meter, key, harmony, and stream segregation. Other research interests include African rhythm, rock music, and hypermeter. He has also worked in natural language parsing, and was the developer (with |
