Gerhard Revealed

格哈德揭示的项目是及时的，因为它将与1970年这位作曲家逝世50周年的庆祝活动重合。Impact项目旨在制作一个用户友好的电子音乐网络版本，该版本包含Gerhard音频档案，即包含作曲家原创电子音乐以及他的器乐作品和广播录音的磁带档案。该互动网站将使对电子音乐、早期音乐技术和英国电子音乐史感兴趣的专业人士、作曲家、教育工作者、学生和电子音乐爱好者能够了解罗伯托·格哈德在这一背景下的工作和思想。格哈德透露项目建立在之前的一个项目--罗伯托·格哈德的电子音乐--的基础上，该项目将磁带收藏数字化，并对这部作品进行初步研究。虽然阿德金斯(PI)制作了六部作品的CD，以及编辑书籍和会议论文的章节贡献，但遗憾的是，目前访问档案的方法相当僵硬，需要相当程度的音乐技术专业知识才能通过未经编辑的ProTools文件访问材料。格哈德透露，磁带档案中的电子音乐将免费提供，其中包括格哈德关于电子音乐的笔记本的注释摘录，以及其中包含的磁带、盒子和其他昙花一现的照片。这一易于使用的资源将具有定制的可视化工具，用于搜索档案，并为非专家用户提供其中包含的材料的即时相关视图。音频档案包括634盘数字化磁带，其中417盘包含电子音乐。因此，这是一个非常丰富的资源。哈德斯菲尔德大学的项目团队将由蒙蒂·阿德金斯教授领导，成员包括一名程序员和一名音频技术员。加入他们的还有Anna Pensaert(剑桥大学图书馆音乐主管)和Tuan Pham(数字创新与发展主管)，他们将就剑桥大学图书馆的格式、政策和技术基础设施提供建议，以确保该网站可以整合到剑桥大学数字图书馆。项目团队将与具有代表性的最终用户合作，开发一种响应、互动和刺激的工具，以满足现实世界的专业和教育需求。因此，该项目将取决于与这些最终用户进行的一系列协商。为期两个月的初步协商将评估不同情况下最终用户的需求(教育性--2020年7月)和各种专业人员的需求(2020年7月-8月)。在这次磋商之后，将举办两个讲习班讲习班，这些讲习班之间的应邀反馈将被提供给网站资源的进一步迭代。网站的规划和设计将对收集的答复作出回应，以便最好地满足网站未来用户的需要。在项目期间，该团队将致力于扩大最终用户群体，以包括更多和不同类型的最终用户。这个社区将在项目开始时以两种方式发展--关于该项目的博客(由PI)，其发展将通过社交媒体和在线论坛进行推广。将通过针对A-Level学生和全球专业人员的讲习班发展更多的用户社区。此外，该网站的传统、印刷和社交媒体宣传不仅旨在庆祝该项目的成果，还将扩大公众对该网站和格哈德磁带档案以及其中所载丰富工作的认识。

The Gerhard Revealed project is timely as it will coincide with celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the composer's death in 1970. The impact project aims to produce a user-friendly web-based version of the electronic music contained within Gerhard Audio Archive, the magnetic tape archive containing the composer's original electronic music as well as recordings of his instrumental works and broadcasts. The interactive website will enable professionals, composers, educators, students and electronic music enthusiasts within an interest in electronic music, early music technology and the history of electronic music in Britain to understand the work and thinking of Roberto Gerhard in this context.The Gerhard Revealed project builds on a previous project 'The Electronic Music of Roberto Gerhard' which digitised the tape collection and to produce an initial study of this work. Although a CD of six works has been produced by Adkins (PI) as well as chapter contributions to edited books and conference papers, current methods of accessing the archive are unfortunately rather inflexible and require considerable levels of knowledge of the music technology expertise to access the materials via unedited ProTools files. Gerhard Revealed will make the electronic music within the tape archive freely available to listen to with annotated extracts from Gerhard's notebooks about electronic music, as well as photographs of the tapes, boxes and other ephemera contained within them. This easy-to-use resource will have bespoke visualisation tools for searching the archive and giving an immediately relational view of the materials contained within it for non-expert users. The audio archive comprises 634 digitised tapes of which 417 contain electronic music. As such it is a hugely rich resource.The project team based at the University of Huddersfield will be led by Professor Monty Adkins and will include a Programmer and an Audio Technician. They are joined by Anna Pensaert (Head of Music at the Cambridge University Library) and Tuan Pham (Head of Digital Innovation and Development) who will advise on Cambridge University Library formats, policies and technical infrastructure to ensure that the site can be integrated into the Cambridge University Digital Library. The project team will work with representative end users to develop a responsive, interactive and stimulating tool, which will meet real world professional and education needs. The project will thus depend on a series of consultations with these end-users. An initial consulation over two months will assess the requirements of end-users in different contexts (educational - July 2020) and a variety of professionals (July - August 2020). Following this consultation, two workshops workshops will take place, and invited feedback between these will be fed into further iterations of the website resource. The programming and design of the website will respond to this collecting of responses in order to best match the needs of future users of the site. During the project, the team will aim to widen the group of end-users to include more and different types of end-user. This community will be developed in two ways at the start of the project - a blog (by the PI) on the project and its development will be promoted via social media and online fora. A further community of users will be developed through workshops aimed at A-level students and global professionals. In addition, the conventional, print and social media publicity of the site, will aim not only to celebrate the outcome of the project, but also to broaden the public awareness of the website and of Gerhard's tape archive and the rich work contained within it.
