00300		Dear Luciano,
00400	
00500			I have enclosed four articles for you to consider for your forthcoming
00600	
00700		book on electronic and computer music.   My articles are "SCORE, a Musician's
00800	
00900		Approach to Computer Music" which appeared in the January-February 1972 issue
01000	
01100		of the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society and "Editing and Printing
01200	
01300		Music by Computer" which will appear in the next (Autumn 1973?) issue of
01400	
01500		the Journal of Music Theory.
01600	
01700			Also there are two articles by John Chowning, "The Simulation of
01800	
01900		Moving Sound Sources", which was in the Journal of the Audio Engineering
02000	
02100		Society in 1970 or 1971, and "The Synthesis of Complex Audio Spectra by
02200	
02300		Means of Frequency Modulation", which is in the September 1973 issue
02400	
02500		of the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society.   I think this last is 
02600	
02700		especially important for computer music.   Someday you must hear the wide
02800	
02900		range of sounds that this FM process can produce.
03000	
03100			I understand that Hubert Howe of Queens College in NYC is about
03200	
03300		to publish a book on electronic and computer music.   Also I believe that
03400	
03500		Michael Kassler in Washington, D.C.  is preparing something on this subject
03600	
03700		for Grove's Dictionary or some such publication.
03800	
03900			I  hope  all  this  may be of some use to you.   It is distantly
04000	
04100		possible that I may get to Europe next summer or fall.   One incentive
04200	
04300		is that my youngest daughter has married a young French actor.   I hope
04400	
04500		all is going well with you.
04600	
04700	
04800						Very sincerely,
04900
