Keynote-speech by John Bischoff [paper revised: Rev2]
Keynote speaker John Bischoff reflects on key points of his own musical
history spanning over 35 years of engagement with electroacoustic music
and technology. He will cover a trail of concepts, approaches,
listening orientations, and perspectives that have informed his work
and electro-acoustic music in general. Along the way he will touch on
the music of Gordon Mumma, Thelonious Monk, Charles Ives, David
Behrman, The League of Automatic Music Composers, and the Hub among
others. Issues of time, synchronization, improvisation, and computer
network music will be expanded upon. His talk will be accompanied by
projected images of composers and technology of the period from his own
archives.
