The ennobling of 'noise'.
Examples will range from the Beatles to John Cage.

The discussion and demonstration will describe the he strategies behind the making of the music. In addition, there will be a discussion of the various technologies used. The lecture will include dexcription and leve examples of ways to interact [in performance] with a computer.
Lecture 3: '' Multi-Media:Public Performance" This lecture will include a discussion and demonstraton of the types of media and how they are controlled. Four of my own large scale media works will be discussed along with video tapes of performances and rehearsals.
Lecture 4: ''Private-Media: A New Chamber Art" In this final lecture I will discuss and demonstrate how the computer is, can be and might be used in creating new forms of intimate [personal] music/art for the living room.
