Opis

The book functions as a guided tour through the creative process that fuels a lifelong experimental music composer. It sheds light on the compositional processes and the physical settings of the six new CDs that make up Part Three of the Emergent Music And Visual Music: Inside Studies project. Detailed program notes for every track open windows to forces that generated the music. The book also provides program notes for two more CDs of music made public for the first time, Volumes 1 and 2 of Music for The Electronic Arts Of Sound And Light (1983), a book considered by academics and professionals as a classic in the field. Associated with the notes for each of the eight CDs are essays that thematically set the conceptual stage for the music on that particular CD. The book also includes a section of special historical interest titled "Being Johnny MusicMeme," a section that features posters, programs, photos, reviews, articles, and interviews from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s connected with Pellegrino's work. Electronic arts pioneer Ron Pellegrino is a composer, performer, visual artist, researcher, and author of numerous articles and three earlier groundbreaking books-An Electronic Studio Manual (1969), the first published book on the modern electronic music synthesizer, The Electronic Arts Of Sound And Light (1983), the first published book on integrated electronic technology in the arts, and Emergent Music And Visual Music: Inside Studies (2009), the first published book on the integration of algorithmic composition and visual music. This book and the other parts (another book, 4 DVDs, and 6 CDs) of the Emergent Music And Visual Music: Inside Studies project are based on his research, composition, and performance experiences, both solo and in collaboration with hundreds of performance artists, in over 1,000 public events at art and science museums, cultural centers, and universities since the late 1960s in North America, Europe, and South America.
