Publications
As a special service to Ethnomusicology faculty and students, the
Archive publishes a quarterly newsletter entitled the Ethnomusicology
Archive Report (a.k.a. "the EAR"). The EAR covers
a wide array of Archive-related topics, including descriptions of
Archive events and updates on our outreach, digitization, and access
initiatives. In addition, the EAR serves as platform for recording
reviews written by UCLA graduate students.
THIS JUST IN! The EAR will be transitioning to a blog format in the coming months to accommodate more frequent publication of Archive news and events, recording reviews, our Recent Acquisitions list, sound and video clips, and user commentary. Be on the lookout for the new EAR in Summer 2008.
In fall 2003 the Archive and the UCLA Department of
Ethnomusicology's Publications
division released the commercial compact disc Bali
South. We envision this CD as the first in a number of releases
in a UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive Series that feature the Archive's
unique field recordings. The Bali South CD contains Archive field
recordings made in Bali in 1970 by the late Gertrude Rivers Robinson,
a former graduate student of ethnomusicology at UCLA. The first
four items are from the repertoire of the gamelan gong kebyar from
the village of Peliatan and were originally released as a long-play
record in 1973 by the UCLA Institute of Ethnomusicology (IE Records
IER-7503). The other five items were released for the first time
and are examples of gamelan angklung from the village of Tunjuk.
All recordings are from the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive.
The Archive also publishes a monthly Recent Acquisitions list. This list, which is posted online and distributed
via email, details the new audiovisual (and other) materials received.
Materials listed include both purchases and gifts. All items on
this list are catalogued on ethnomusicat and ready for use.
