The Phonogene (1954) (left image) was a multi-headed tape instrument, used by Pierre Schaefeur and Iannis Xenakis at Radio France (GRM). Developed alongside engineer Jacques Poullin, the Phonogène, allowed the user to control the speed of playback of a magnetic tape in accordance with the twelve semitones of the tempered scale. As sound manipulation practices began to change, through the use of Vari-Speed and Time Lag Accumulation. Further to this, created in 1954, the Morphophone allowed a delay effect to be applied to the sound signal. Also using magnetic tape as a medium, its twelve play heads enable the same sound to be replayed simultaneously but with a delay to produce an echo effect, while also varying the dynamics and timbre of the sound. Both these machines helped future directions for both Schaefer and other composers working at GRM. In order to preserve, study and collate heritage/archival instruments of the past, this and others have been digitally recreated in the software platform, Max/MSP for users to explore and share.
