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,
