Otto Luening was using tape delay for echo effects is such pieces
as "Fantasy in Space." According to Paul Lehrman the
Columbia Princeton studio had tape guides mounted in many locations,
to support tape loops.
Mauricio Kagel had a work for
percussion where the material the musicians played was recorded and
brought back later in the composition..etc..
Mort was probably referring to "Transitions II."
Unfortunately Morton was too busy to say
anything further to me, maybe you might be able to extract something
out of him Richard?
I see Mort from time to time (he teaches at CalArts, not far from
here). However, Ramon is probably a more reliable source for Tape
Center trivia.
Terry Riley is so care free about his
work that he hasn't documented what happened and when accurately
because I don't think it matters to him.
This seems an accurate portrayal.
A few years ago I helped out with the 25th anniversary
performance of "In C" in San Francisco. Many of the original
performers participated (Terry and three others sang). Drummer George
Marsh performed on trap set, without the requirement of following the
score. Some of us thought this was inappropriate and that it messed up
the music, but Terry was delighted. He had a singular lack of
reverence for his own "masterpiece."
Where as Pauline Oliveros likes the ideas
of self promotion more......
Yes. She has done a remarkable job of carving out a career in the
male-dominated music scene (remembering that she is now past 70!).
This necessitates a lot of image building. However, PO is one of the
first to assert the importance of collective activity. On the first
day of music technology class at UCSD she wrote on the board:
"Technology is a tribal matter."
