Two book reviews
It is always a joy to come across something one does not know enough about, and I have recent.ly written two book reviews for Organised Sound. Jennifer Iverson’s book discusses the post-WWII landscape especially in electronic music, and Leigh Landy’s book is a music appreciation and listening guide for many types of technology-based music. The review of Iverson’s bok is here, and the review of Landy’s book will be published later this year.
Paper accepted at NYCEMF – Reconstructing sound and music in a multimedia installation – authenticity and conflicting sources
Just received notification that my paper “Reconstructing sound and music in a multimedia installation – authenticity and conflicting sources” has been accepted at this years NYCEMF. This professional gathering has grown in importance over many years, and I look forward to presenting. Bringing the research on this multimedia installation to the music community is important, as this work might benefit future projects of similar nature. Here is the text.
