Darmstatdt 2012: Music of Gordon Mumma
Performed by Conrad Harris (violin) and Jenny Lin (piano)
Gordon Mumma's (1935-) work employing electronic circuits into the creation of music led him to the practice of using feedback to modify sound, one of the first artists to do so. Mumma's multichannel compositions have incorporated sculpture, multimedia, and choreography within an interdisciplinary spectacle. Mumma was one of the founders of Ann Arbor's Cooperative Studio for Electronic Music, collaborated on the legendary ONCE Festivals with Robert Ashley during the early 1960s, played in the ONCE group and Sonic Arts Union, and designed an electronic music system for Expo 70 in Osaka, Japan. In recent years Mumma has focused on acoustic composition, although his musical studies were in piano and horn, and he has been a lifelong practitioner of symphonic and chamber music. This selection of pieces for violin and piano, performed by Conrad Harris (violin) and Jenny Lin (piano), is drawn from a wide span of Mumma's career and includes electroacoustic and electronic works.
