Description
Alvin Lucier holding a type of drum or other musical instrument, taken in March of 1999, when he was in the San Francisco Bay Area as part of the 5th Other Minds Music Festival. Alvin Lucier has been a pioneer in many areas of composition and performance, including the use of brain waves in live performance (”Music for Solo Performer”), the generation of visual imagery by sound in vibrating media (”The Queen of the South”), and the evocation of room acoustics for musical purposes (”I am Sitting in a Room”). His more recent works include a series of sound installations and works for solo instruments, chamber ensembles, and orchestra in which, by means of close tunings with pure tones, sound waves are caused to spin in space.
