Langham Research Centre is a group devoted to authentic performances of classic electronic music, and the creation of new music from their instrumentarium of vintage analogue devices. Founded in August 2003, they comprise the composers / radio producers Felix Carey, Iain Chambers, Philip Tagney, and Robert Worby. Their new music follows in the traditions of the Radiophonic Workshop, using reel-to-reel tape machines, sine wave oscillators and other vintage machinery abandoned by the BBC. Radiophonic works include two editions of BBC Radio 3's Between The Ears: guest+host=ghost,〔Guest + Host = Ghost, http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/betweentheears/pip/aao11/〕 featuring Peter Blegvad and Nick Cave; and Gateshead Multi-storey Carpark,〔'Doors are an ongoing interest', http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/culturevultureblog/2005/jun/15/adoorsareano〕 featuring the infamous building from Get Carter.〔Storeys to tell, http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2005/jun/20/radio.television〕 Live performances include an authentic tape-only version of John Cage's Fontana Mix at Tate Modern;〔Musicircus May 2006, http://www.tate.org.uk/intermediaart/musicircus.shtm〕 John Cage's ''Williams Mix'' at Jerwood Space;〔Cut And Splice 2005, http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/cutandsplice/williamsmix.shtml〕 live soundtrack to The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari at Notting Hill Arts Club; Robert Worby's Trios for Sinewave Oscillator & John Cage's Radio Music and Imaginary Landscape at Tate Britain.〔Turn on, tune in: John Cage's symphony for 12 radios, http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/aug/06/john-cage-symphony-for-radios〕 In 2011 they performed a solo concert at Kettle's Yard, Cambridge, showcasing their new work LOL alongside an array of 20th century modernist classics.〔Langham Research Centre - Sunday Coffee Concert, http://www.soundandmusic.org/thesampler/event/2011/05/langham-research-centre-sunday-coffee-concert〕 In March 2012 they took part in English National Opera's John Cage centenary celebrations, with an authentic electronic Cage performance at the MusiCircus staged at the Coliseum.〔ENO presents John Cage’s Musicircus, http://www.eno.org/see-whats-on/productions/production-page.php?itemid=2007&tab=credits〕 The group headlined London's Cafe Oto in September 2012, with a programme celebrating John Cage's centenary, including the UK premiere of WBAI and Speech.〔W-Oto L-Oto Cage, http://peteyelding.com/2012/09/〕 Their work includes OBAMIX, a musique concrète chorale for treated soprano, setting extracts from 3 of Barack Obama's defining speeches. This premiered in February 2013 with soprano Alwynne Pritchard performing alongside Langham Research Centre at London's Kings Place. LRC have since performed OBAMIX at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, and at the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. In March 2013, Langham Research Centre presented a new work, Eschatology, with Peter Blegvad at the Borealis festival in Bergen, Norway. Eschatology will receive its radio debut on 20th September, 2014 as a special live edition of Between The Ears, BBC Radio 3's experimental radio strand.

Performed by Langham Research Centre and Catherine Carter, the piece draws its libretto from Emmeline Pankhurst's 1913 speech, Freedom or Death, and is a semi-staged work with choreography by Marquez & Zangs. Langham Research Centre released John Cage - Early Electronic and Tape Music, an acclaimed LP/CD of new realisations of John Cage's music on the Sub Rosa label in April 2014. In May 2014, Ny Musikk Oslo commissioned Langham Research Centre to write Muffled Cyphers, a new work in response to J. G. Ballard's 1970 modernist novel, The Atrocity Exhibition. The piece - for amplified small sounds, sinewave oscillators and tape - was premiered at the 2014 Only Connect festival in Oslo, Norway, with slide projections by Jeremy Welsh. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Langham Research Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
