Description of the sounds and effects in Jonty Harrison’s “EQ”.
The term sonic art is applied to all new styles of music that involve computers making noise. We can use computers in our everyday lives to create such wonderful pieces of art and literary texts and now this is becoming increasingly common with composers such as John Cage, Larry Austin, Jonty Harrison et al using the computer to make music. The music itself may in fact only be a small portion of the overall music itself. When discussing Jonty Harrison’s EQ we can see instances of the music itself becoming a sub divide of the atmosphere. In John Cage’s work 4’27” we don’t actually hear anything being played on the piano, the composer has attempted to create a new atmosphere from the fact that the audience itself will only listen to the piece once, and with there being a new audience every time the piece is performed, we can believe that every performance will be different.
For the purpose of providing an accurate representation of the piece, I have chosen to use a table which will provide as much information as possible to the reader whilst also making it as simple as possible. In the table, I have termed area as a section in which there are definite instances of changes in style, they will be termed A, B, C and so on. The column with title as the heading will be a breakdown of the sections in the area and will be represented as 1, 1a, 3c etc. For the purpose of breaking down the sections I have chosen to include a start and finish time to clarify the areas which are being talked about. These times will be represented in a running time in minutes, where 0 minutes is the beginning and 15 minutes is the end. The purpose of having a column dedicated entirely to the duration of the title area is to provide a more thorough breakdown of the music and as such enable the reader to gain a definitive idea of where to find the sounds in question.
