Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | In this fascinating collection, pathbreaking figures in American experimental music discuss the meaning of their work at the turn of the twenty-first century. Presented between 1989 and 2000 at Wesleyan University, these captivating talks offer rare insights by composers whose work has shaped our understanding of what it means to be eyperimental: Maryanne Amacher, Robert Ashley, Philip Glass, Meredith Monk, Steve Reich, James Tenney, Christian Wolff, and La Monte Young. Together, these lectures, collected here for the first time, tell the story of twentieth-century American experimental music, covering such topics as repetition, phase, drone, duration, collaboration, and technological innovation. Enriched with introductory comments by Lucier and the original question-and-answer sessions between students and the composers, this book makes the theory and practice of experimental music available and accessible to a new generation of students, artists, and scholars. |
