Impressionism focused on capturing fleeting impressions through light, color, and atmosphere. Claude Debussy was a prominent Impressionist composer who used unusual scales, parallel chords, and obscured rhythm. Maurice Ravel also composed Impressionist works like the ballet Daphnis et Chloé, which features shimmering strings. Expressionism in music conveyed angst and the subconscious through atonality. Arnold Schoenberg developed twelve-tone technique, in which all twelve notes are treated equally, as seen in his Trio from Suite for Piano.
The avant garde style was associated with electronic music and dealt with the parameters
or dimensions of sound in space. It made use of variations of self-contained note groups
to change musical continuity, and improvisation, with an absence of traditional rules on
harmony, melody, and rhythm.

thGAP - BAbyss in Moderno!! Transgenic Human Germline Alternatives ProjectMarc Dusseiller Dusjagr
thGAP - Transgenic Human Germline Alternatives Project, presents an evening of input lectures, discussions and a performative workshop on artistic interventions for future scenarios of human genetic and inheritable modifications.
To begin our lecturers, Marc Dusseiller aka "dusjagr" and Rodrigo Martin Iglesias, will give an overview of their transdisciplinary practices, including the history of hackteria, a global network for sharing knowledge to involve artists in hands-on and Do-It-With-Others (DIWO) working with the lifesciences, and reflections on future scenarios from the 8-bit computer games of the 80ies to current real-world endeavous of genetically modifiying the human species.
We will then follow up with discussions and hands-on experiments on working with embryos, ovums, gametes, genetic materials from code to slime, in a creative and playful workshop setup, where all paticipant can collaborate on artistic interventions into the germline of a post-human future.

2. Impressionism in Art
• Pioneered by Claude Monet
• Name from his Impression: Sun Rising
• Distinctly Parisian in style
• Attempted to capture a first impression
• Focuses on light and color
• Paintings have hazy, indistinct quality
3. Impressionism in Music
• A reaction against Romantic excesses
• Use of chromatic and whole tone scales
• Subtle orchestration, winds emphasized
• Rhythm was free of regular accent
• Use of extended harmonic structures
4. Claude Debussy (1862 – 1918)
• One of the most prominent Impressionist
composers, though he disliked that term
• Entered the Paris Conservatory at age 10
• Associated with Nadezhda von Meck
• Awarded the Prix de Rome at age 22
• His music was not well-received by critics
in his day
5. Claude Debussy (1862 – 1918)
• Musical characteristics:
– Elaborate melodic patterns that make atonal
passages less jarring
– Use of parallel chords (chords as melody)
– Use of unusual scales: whole-tone and
pentatonic
6. Listening Example
• Title: Prelude to The Afternoon of a Faun
• Composer: Claude Debussy
• Genre: Symphonic Poem
7. Notes on Prelude to… a Faun
• Inspired by Mallarme’s symbolist poem
• Seen as the beginning of modern music
• Woodwinds present the main themes
• Meandering quality, unconcerned with
progress toward a musical finish line
• The beat and meter are obscured
8. Maurice Ravel (1875 – 1937)
• Like Debussy, Ravel was a leading
impressionist but didn’t like that term
• Clashed with conservative professors and
critics at the Paris Conservatory
• Smaller compositional output than others
• Recognized the potential of music recording
early on and oversaw recordings of his work
10. Notes on Daphnis et Chloé,
Part III “Lever du jour”
• “Lever” is the first movement of Part III
• Ravel considered the music for the entire
ballet to be symphonic in character
• It is Ravel’s longest work – approx. 1 hour
• Note the shimmering quality of the strings
• Use of choral voices without text
11. Expressionism
• Early 20th century modernist movement
originating in German poetry and painting
• In visual art, expressionism strove to
convey individual emotional experience
• In music, expressionism focuses on the
unconscious or subconscious mind
• Highly dissonant music conveys angst
• Schoenberg is first expressionist composer
12. Arnold Schoenberg
• Austrian composer who emigrated to the
US in 1934 due to the rise of the Nazi party
• Came to be associated with atonal
compositional techniques
• Developed the twelve-tone technique
• Highly influential composer, theorist, and
teacher
16. Notes on Pierrot Lunaire, Madonna
• Great example of atonal expressionism
• No tonal center but not twelve-tone
• Use of sprechstimme
• Through composed – no repetition
• A dark psychological exploration
17. Twelve-tone Composition
• Uses all 12 notes of chromatic scale equally
• Composing begins with “tone row”
– Selecting the order of the 12 pitches
– Row can be inverted, reversed, transposed
• The original row (or its permutation) must
always appear in order
• All pitches are treated equally so no tonal
center is perceived
18. Listening Example
• Title: Trio from Suite for Piano
• Composer: Arnold Schoenberg
• Genre: Twelve-tone music
19. Notes on Trio from Suite for Piano
• Performed by solo piano
• Sparse texture
• Systematically atonal music
• Contrapuntal texture
