Fantasy Music 1
5’50” 1981
For flute and prerecorded computer sound
Composed for MIT Experimental Music Studio and dedicated to Fran Carnes. Recorded on Northeastern Records (LP, NR-220). In those days it took all night to generate the sound at the old MIT studio. Now it takes a few seconds.
...More ingeniously worked than several Synchronisms that come to mind, and it crosses a wider range, from hymn-tune to boogie - The Boston Globe.
...Weaves long, smooth lines around glistening electronic shards, and the mix of texture comes out just right - The Village Voice.
This performance is by Wendy Stern and took place at Julliard.
