ALICE SHIELDS -"STUDY FOR VOICE AND TAPE" (1968) Sound, the infinite frontier!
Science had chopped the world into atoms, components from (More) Sound, the infinite frontier!
Science had chopped the world into atoms, components from which to build. Modern art deconstructed reality, reconstructing our perceptions of it. And the first Electronic Music likewise took apart sound and turned it inside out for new compositions. Vladimir Ussachevsky founded the first Electronic Music Center jointly with Columbian and Princeton universities in 1952. He brought in avant composers from countries worldwide with new perspectives and radical expirementation. This included women like Daria Semegen, Pril Smiley, Wendy Carlos, and Alice Shields.
In the 50's, Electronic Music was distortions of recordings. Sounds on a tape recorder would be manipulated by feedback, repeated spliced loops, overlapping tracks with multiple recorders, and using oscillators and reverb to sculpt the tempo, tone, or texture. This prevailed in continually advancing ways well through the 1960s. Alice used these techniques in creating this composition. A gifted mezzesoprano, she first sang a poem she'd written. She accompanied this with the first analog Buchla synthesizer, a rare and recent device only beginning to draw the attention of the hippest pop musicians. She then manipulated pitch and speed in textural patterns to supplement the freeform song.
This was the cutting edge music of the future, usually heard only in academic circles. But it made its way into film soundtracks (from FORBIDDEN PLANET to Wendy Carlos' A CLOCKWORK ORANGE), Fusion Jazz (Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock), Progressive Rock (from George Harrison's 1969 ELECTRONIC SOUND to Krautrock and Kraftwerk), Funk (Stevie Wonder's T.O.N.T.O., Bernie Worrell), on to the synthesizer explosion of New Wave, then Hip Hop (from Bambaataa's ElectroFunk to Public Enemy's radical sculptures of noise), Industrial (synthetic abrasion), and the Electronica music of today; as such, Alice Shields is a godmother of Le Tigre, Peaches, Chicks On Speed, Lesbians On Ecstasy, and Ladytron, to name a few.

From the 1950s' to the 1970's was the Space Age. The gleaming future was predicted in every corner of life, from music to clothes, fabrics, furniture, architecture, technology, cars, movies, television, comic books and illustrated strips, and of course science fiction. Every take on the future was a promise of a better tomorrow, or a warning. This video pays homage to much of the pop culture from the early 60's to the mid 70's, focusing on the women and their emerging new roles and styles: THE JETSONS; BARBARELLA; the Silver Surfer's purpose, Shalla Bal; Nick Fury's better half, the contessa Val, courtesy of visionary Jim Steranko; Lt. Uhura and the varied women of STAR TREK; 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY; the EXPO '70 future city in Japan; Big Barda from Jack Kirby's New Gods comics; Lt. Ellis and the purple squad from UFO (U.K., 1970-73); decked out in Dave Cockrum's radical costumes, Saturn Girl and sisters from the Legion of Super-Heroes (1974); and Labelle kicking Funk to the future like Parliament.

MARGO GURYAN- "LOVE" (1968) Opening the door to every room you live in!
By the mid-60's all the new ideas of how to (More) Opening the door to every room you live in!
By the mid-60's all the new ideas of how to reinvent the future hit critical mass. The biggest generation ever had access to more ways of communicating than ever. Telephones, airplanes, freeways nationwide, record albums, fashion mags, concert tours, TV dance programs, college campuses; everything was becoming a world wide web for connecting and correcting. The Civil Rights movement had triggered this Empowerment Decade. "Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about." Try something new, resurrect something lost, use change to recreate tomorrow. Daily we are still catching up with everything they opened up.
There are actually two rebel aesthetics in the 60's. Modern Futurism and Organic Naturalism. The first encompassed the Space Age, Swinging London, Mods, Jack Kirby and Jim Steranko comics, hipster lounge music, Art Deco, modern architecture, modular art design, James Bond sets by Ken Adam, plastic and chrome. The latter rejected that as a path to sleek sterility, embracing the organic and the classic historical: marijuana, hair length, flowers, native american buckskin and headbands, Victorian jackets and granny glasses, Art Nouveu, tribal clothes from history, folds and layers, skin and natural form, ZAP Comix, complex strobing graphics, spontaneous happenings and conceptual art, ancient wisdom, and a humanist philosophy that held at its core..."love". Being the 60's, these were two views and you were free to pick and choose what you could use.
Margo Guryan was a classical and jazz student in the early 60's. Ornette Coleman was a fellow student, Milt Jackson and Max Roach among her storied teachers. Hearing Brian Wilson swayed her into the ethereal world of melodic pop. The success of her songwriting, such as "Sunday Morning" (Spanky & Our Gang, Oliver) and "Think Of Rain" (Astrud Gilberto, Claudine Longet, Jackie DeShannon) earned her the chance to record an album. The "Take a Picture" LP, which contains "Love", has become a revered pop classic that found even more fans recently in an expanded CD reissue. Margo is on the upswing with all the new attention.

Her new song is an excellent comment on the current war:

"Love/ How do you know the things you do
you do not only from need and not from greed
but only from love?"
