	Who Is Joseph Schillinger
		Joseph Schillinger was born and raised at the turn of the 20th century in Kharkov, a Ukranian town then part of the Russian empire.
		Schillinger wrote the first manual for playing the Space-Controlled Theremin, and in 1929 he wrote the first ever through-composed piece for that instrument, which he titled "First Airphonic Suite, Opus 21, for orchestra and solo Theremin." SoMC includes a short melody from the Suite as a subject for analysis (orchestral accompaniment reduced to piano sketch).
		Schillinger was, economically, the model American: for every new dollar he earned, he would spend almost all of it.

	Schillinger School of Music
		Joseph Schillinger was a Russian-born composer and teacher, active in New York in the 1930s.
		Schillinger lived in times of great change: technology had revolutionised both war and peace, acceptance of religious authority was in decline, and class struggle had changed the balance of global power.
		Schillinger was in harmony with the spirit of the times in believing that science would ultimately provide the answer to all questions and that all human endeavours could be better understood and improved through the application of rational thought.

	Mary Ellen Bute: Seeing Sound
		She was drawn into filmmaking by a collaboration with the musician Joseph Schillinger, who had developed an elaborate theory about musical structure, which reduced all music to a series of mathematical formulae.
		Schillinger wanted to make a film to prove that his synchronization system worked in illustrating music with visual images, and Mary Ellen undertook the project of animating the visuals.
		Mary Ellen continued to use the Schillinger system in her subsequent films, often to their detriment, for Schillinger's insistence on the mathematics of musical quantities fails to deal with musical qualities, much as John Whitney's later Digital Harmony theories.

		Some of the work of music theorist Joseph Schillinger, whose ideas in the 1920's and 1930's about generating music by recursive and chaotic means were far ahead of their time, will also be covered.
		Schillinger had the idea that the most basic rhythms in music could be generated by "the interference of two synchronized monomial periodicities." Simple rhythms could be found by sort of superimposing two waves of different periodicities and forming a new wave that contained the attacks of both waves.
		Schillinger also noted that the squares of (1/4 + 2/4 + 1/4) and (1/4 + 1/4 + 2/4) formed patterns that had been used intuitively by many classical composers.

		Schillinger spoke of automatic music where you could dial in a feeling and set a style and it could compose it self but I find the human choices the System gives me makes my music more me than a regurgitation of my musical memory.
		The Schillinger system was billed as a musical panacea - but in truth it relied on people already having a solid grounding in music before approaching its methodology, and even then the system was only as good as the student's natural talents, previous training and ambition to use the system.

		Two are rare recordings of works by Joseph Schillinger, the eccentric would-be revolutionary who conceptualized a mathematical basis for all artistic beauty, and whose arithmetical composing methods guided a generation of Tin Pan Alley song writers.
		The introverted romanticism of his style (demonstrated with noted Cage pianist Joshua Pierce as accompanist) is echoed in the disc's most ambitious work, a 1944 fantasia for oboe, piano, string quartet and theremin by Czech composer Bohuslav Martinu, which uses the oboe as an intermediary between theremin and strings.

		Libby Larsen's 1991 quartet "Schoenberg, Schenker and Schillinger" seeks to explore the 20th century's path away from melody.
		The work's success at the Pacifica Quartet's recital Friday at the Library of Congress owed as much to Larsen's jabbing, enigmatically shifting score as to the Pacifica's zeal and commanding technical finish--and even more to the musicians' way of making the piece sound like a strange and deeply involving human drama.
		The Pacifica brought out the strong personalities in all these works, thanks to a set of musical gifts held in ideal balance: exuberance bounded by a natural feeling for classical architecture, scrupulous ensemble enlivened by spontaneous-sounding phrasing, and clean vibrancy of tone working hand-in-hand with interpretive warmth and immediacy.

	Perfessor Bill Edwards - Contemporary Piano Rags/Novelties
		Joseph Schillinger (1891-1943) had created an innovative theory of composition in which certain elements of rhythm, melody and harmony were simplified into mathematical and geometric relationships.
		The second ending is an elision, or a shared measure, that is both the end of A and the beginning of B. A number of syncopations forecast the harmonic changes that follow providing a fascinating trip through varying temporary keys until it works its way back to Bb minor.
		The unusual moving break in the middle of the C section is actually more indicative of advanced Joplin rags, and gives a temporary sense of a transition back into the opening key of Bb instead of the new key of Eb.
