Composer, performer, instrument builder, teacher, and writer Gordon
Mumma has left an indelible mark on the American contemporary music
scene. A prolific composer and innovative French horn player, Mumma
is recognized for integrating advanced electronic processes into
musical structures, an approach he has termed ""Cybersonics.""
Musicologist Michelle Fillion curates a collection of Mumma's
writings, presenting revised versions of his classic pieces as well
as many unpublished works from every stage of his storied career.
Here, through words and astonishing photos, is Mumma's chronicle of
seminal events in the musical world of the twentieth century: his
cofounding the Cooperative Studio for Electronic Music; his role in
organizing the historic ONCE Festivals of Contemporary Music;
performances with the Sonic Arts Union; and working alongside John
Cage and David Tudor as a composer-musician with the Merce
Cunningham Dance Company. In addition, Mumma describes his
collaborations with composers, performers, dancers, and visual
artists ranging from Robert Ashley and Pauline Oliveros to Marcel
Duchamp and Robert Rauschenberg. Candid and insightful, Cybersonic
Arts is the eye-opening account of a broad artistic community by an
active participant and observer.
