While a Fellow at MIT’s Center for Advanced Visual Studies, Maryanne Amacher (1938–2009) undertook a rigorous experimental investigation of otoacoustic emissions and psycho- acoustic dimensions of human tone perception using Marvin Minsky’s Triadex Muse synthesizer. Amacher’s Tone and Interval Studies comprise a series of eighteen 1/4’’ tapes made between 1976 and 1978 (some labelled ‘in collaboration with Minsky’) that document her experimental process. The tapes are accompanied by extensive notebooks with Amacher’s own perceptual responses to her experimental audio. These Studies provide the formal and theoretical bases for her later ‘ear tone’ music.
Joris Strijbos: IsoScope
Fri 26 Feb
18:00 - 23:00
Museumplein
IsoScope is a kinetic audiovisual outdoor installation, a sensorial experience in which the audience wanders through rotating lights and an ever-changing sonic cloud. This new work by Dutch artist Joris Strijbos consists of multiple robotic wind objects interacting with each other and with their surroundings.
Dick Raaijmakers: Ideophone III (1971)

Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam
In the early 1970s Dick Raaijmakers (1930–2013) developed three separate loudspeaker installations, Ideophone I, II and III. Ideophones are defined as words that evoke certain sensations, e.g., smell, colour, shape, sound, action, or movement. Raaijmakers’ Ideophones each possess a unique voice, but are self-destructive; the speakers activate themselves through feedback loops in order to ‘speak’.
La Monte Young: Drift Study (1968)

Frequency and amplitude ratios tuned by La Monte Young on a Moog synthesizer utilising its sine wave oscillators, mixer and low-pass filter.
Terry Riley: Poppy No Goods All Night Flight (The First Ascent) (1967)
Friday 26 February
10:00 - 22:00
Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam
Sat 27 Feb - Sun 28 Feb
10:00 - 18:00
Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam
This composition synthesizes many of the techniques and ideas popular among experimental composers during the late 1960s. Riley incorporates Coltrane- inspired saxophone as well as the effects of time-lag accumulators and tape loops. These experiments had considerable impact on the world of popular music.
