Gerhard Revealed

“格哈德揭密”项目恰逢1970年格哈德逝世50周年。影响项目旨在制作一个用户友好的基于网络的电子音乐版本，包含在格哈德音频档案中，磁带档案包含作曲家的原始电子音乐以及他的器乐作品和广播的录音。这个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在这个背景下了解罗伯特·格哈德的作品和思想。Gerhard Revealed项目建立在之前的项目“The Electronic Music of Roberto Gerhard”的基础上，该项目将磁带收藏数字化，并对这项工作进行初步研究。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，但不幸的是，目前访问档案的方法相当不灵活，需要相当程度的音乐技术专业知识才能通过未编辑的ProTools文件访问材料。格哈德透露将使磁带档案中的电子音乐与格哈德关于电子音乐的笔记的注释摘录一起免费收听，以及磁带，盒子和其中包含的其他短暂的照片。这个易于使用的资源将有定制的可视化工具，用于搜索档案，并为非专业用户提供包含在其中的材料的即时关系视图。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，它是一种极其丰富的资源。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，包括一名程序员和一名音频技术员。Anna Pensaert（剑桥大学图书馆音乐系主任）和Tuan Pham（数字创新与发展系主任）将在剑桥大学图书馆的格式、政策和技术基础设施方面提供建议，以确保该网站能够整合到剑桥大学数字图书馆中。项目团队将与有代表性的终端用户合作，开发一个响应性强、互动性强、具有刺激性的工具，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的一系列协商。为期两个月的初步咨询将评估不同背景（教育- 2020年7月）和各种专业人员（2020年7月至8月）的最终用户的需求。在这次咨询之后，将举行两次研讨会，并邀请这些研讨会之间的反馈将被馈送到网站资源的进一步迭代中。网站的编程和设计将对这些反馈做出回应，以便最好地满足网站未来用户的需求。在项目期间，团队的目标是扩大最终用户群体，包括更多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-一个项目博客（由PI），它的发展将通过社交媒体和在线论坛来促进。通过针对A-level学生和全球专业人士的研讨会，将进一步发展用户社区。此外，该网站的传统、印刷和社交媒体宣传不仅旨在庆祝项目的成果，而且还旨在扩大公众对该网站、格哈德磁带档案和其中包含的丰富作品的认识。

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.
