ELECTRONIC MUSIC

“I am inclined to let the sound materials lead to compositional ideas. This approach is often referred to as “sound crafting” or “sound montage” which I think capture the essential process. The pieces develop intuitively rather than by preconception.”

--TCL

“The composer… finds himself commanding a realm of sound in which the musical material appears for the first time as a malleable continuum of every known and unknown, every conceivable and possible sound. This demands a way of thinking in new dimensions, a kind of mental adjustment to the thinking proper to the materials of electronic sound.”

--Herbert Eimert
