My first exposure to this technique was the Pauline Oliveros piece "I of IV" (1966). PO and her colleagues at the San Francisco Tape Music Center were doing a lot of pieces with live tape delay systems as early as 1962, and Terry was part of that scene. Tape delay as both live and studio technique was well known in those circles. Otto Luening's "Low Speed" used delay techiques in 1952! This music is all readily available on CD, so check it out. As to "soundscape," I find that the term is indeed generally credited to R. Murray Schafer (The Tuning of the World, 1977), though John Cage's series of Imaginary Landscapes (1939 and later) are plausible antecedents. http://cec.concordia.ca/econtact/Histories/SoundscapeComposition.htm -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com http://www.cybmotion.com/aliaszone http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/directory.cgi?autostart=rz
