A collection that goes beyond the canon to analyze influential yet
under-examined works of electronic music.This collection of
writings on electronic music goes outside the canon to analyze
influential works by under-recognized musicians. The contributors,
many of whom are composers and performers themselves, offer their
unsung musical heroes the sort of in-depth examinations usually
reserved for more well-known composers and works. They analyze
music from around the world and across genders, race, nationality,
and age, discussing works that range from soundscapes of rushing
water and resonating pipes to compositions by algorithm. Subjects
include the collaboration of performer and composer, as seen in the
work of Anne La Berge, Luciano Berio and Cathy Berberian, and
others; the choice by Asian composers Zhang Xiaofu and Unsuk Chin
to embrace (or not) Eastern themes and styles; and how technologies
used by composers created the sound of the works, as exemplified by
Bulent Arel's use of voltage-control components as compositional
tools and Charles Dodge's resynthesizing of the human voice.
