Description

Electric Sound, the composer Joel Chadabe’s history of electronic music, draws on more than 150 interviews. Its chapter on computer music includes Max Mathews’s Music I, written at Bell Labs in 1957. The Illiac Suite of Lejaren Hiller and Leonard Isaacson and HPSCHD, Hiller’s piece with John Cage, are in the chapter on automata. The book also describes the composer Iannis Xenakis’s UPIC, a system that turned shapes drawn on a tablet into sound and was shown to the public in 1978.
