funny, I just went to the library on this very subject. The best book I could find was "The Development and Practice of Electronic Music," by Appleton and Perera. It came out in 75, so it's mostly academic/music concrete...great pix of crazy equipment and some pretty hard data on music and music machines, but it's a good place to start... darren randomj wrote:

Hugh Davies, "International Catalogue of Electronic Music", 1969 (title often listed in French). Michael Nyman, "Experimental Music" 1969. (I know, I know, he also wrote 'The Piano' music). David Cope, "New Directions in Music", current revision: 1993. Edward Strickland, "Minimalism: Origins", 1992. Countless others, of course, but these are a fine place to start, esp. the Davies Book... ____________________ Reckankreuzungsklankewerkzeuge PO BOX 382864.

What's up with this? It seems barely likely that there could be two groups known as Velocette (a word that isn't even in the dictionary), but an electronic-pop group recording for Wiija *has* to be completely removed from the Reflective project by Jason Williams, right? Can anyone back me up on this? .John.

Back in print as of June '99, in paper and hardback. God bless. I am particularly fond of Tom Johnson's _Voice of New Music_, a collection of his writings for the Village Voice from '72 to '82. Heavy coverage of minimalism and other branches of NY experimental stuff. Now out of print on Het Apollohuis (RIP?), but maybe available from your well-stocked museum bookstore. _Sound by Artists_ is edited/written by Lander/Lexier and put out by the Walter Philips Gallery. I've been looking for this for a while, actually. If you want to get beyond secondary sources, there's this fascinating book of interviews with Xenakis by Balint Andras Varga (no diacriticals available in ASCII, sorry). Published by Faber and Faber in England. I can't imagine a discussion of this kind of thing without mentioning John Cage, who has written numerous books about (and "about") the subject. Start w/ _Silence_. -rob
