Ik hou van abstractie in (elektronische)muziek waardoor het mogelijk is om andere geluiden van buiten te adopteren.

Włodzimierz Kotoński (23 August 1925 – 4 September 2014), was a Polish composer.

Born in Warsaw, Kotoński studied there with Piotr Rytel and Tadeusz Szeligowski at the PWSM, graduating in 1951. In an initial period of activity he took an interest in folk music from the Podhale region in southern Poland. After attending the Darmstädter Ferienkurse in 1957–61, he adopted punctual serialism in works like Sześć miniatur ('Six Miniatures') for clarinet and piano of 1957 and Muzyka kameralna ('Chamber Music') for 21 instruments and percussion in the following year. This trend culminated in 1959 in Musique en relief for six orchestral groups (Thomas 2001). His Etiuda na jedno uderzenie w talerz ('Study on One Cymbal Stroke') was the first Polish piece of electronic music, created at Polish Radio's Experimental Studio. He also worked in various electronic music studios abroad, amongst others in Cologne, Paris, Freiburg, and Berlin.

In 1967 he was appointed lecturer in composition at the Frédéric Chopin Music Academy in Warsaw, where he also directed the electronic music studio. Notably, he wrote the first book in Polish on the field of electronic / electroacoustic music.

In the years 1974–1976 he was head music editor at the Polskie Radio and head music director for the Polish Radio and Television. In the years 1980–1983 he was vice president, and in 1983–1989 president of the Polish Section, International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM). He presented guest lectures in composition and electroacoustic music at foreign universities in, amongst others, Stockholm, Buffalo, Los Angeles, and Jerusalem.

His students included: Jacek Grudzien, Jarosław Kapuściński, Krzysztof Knittel, Stanislaw Krupowicz, Owen Leech, Hanna Kulenty, Pawel Mykietyn, Pawel Szymanski. See: List of music students by teacher: G to M#Włodzimierz Kotoński.

He died in Warsaw at the age of 89 on 4 September 2014.(Wiki)

Joris de Laet

Biography
Joris de Laet was born in 1947 in Antwerp. Apart from some years of music lessons at the music
academy (in violin and cello), he did not receive any formal artistic training. De Laet was largely
self-taught, and was mainly interested in the thought-processes of the avant-garde. In particular,
the possibilities of amplified sound intrigued him, an interest that even led him to build or adapt
his own instruments. In order to increase public awareness of the music of the avant-garde, de
Laet set up the Studio voor Experimentele Muziek (SEM) in 1973. Under the auspices of this
studio, he organised monthly concerts in various locations (the studios of Flemish Radio 2,
deSingel concert hall...), performed by leading musicians of his time. The holding of lectures,
seminars and the dissemination of music on tape further stimulated the contact between the
audience and experimental music. In 1974, the SEMensemble was founded, with the aim of
producing live performances of post-production studio techniques (a constant in de Laet’s
oeuvre), thereby allowing electronic means to become real time communication. In the
performances of this ensemble, many different artistic disciplines (such as theatre, poetry and
experiments with light) were combined into a whole by such composers as Karel Goeyvaerts and
André Stordeur. For the performances including traditional instruments, he drew on the talents of,
amongst others, Luc Brewaeys and Serge Verstockt. During his sojourn at the Instituut voor
Psycho-akoestik (IPEM) in Ghent from 1972-1975, de Laet came into contact with Karel
Goeyvaerts, resulting in a number of concerts (including a performance of Partiduur 12345) and
works on which the two composers collaborated (Tot Barstens Toe [Full to Bursting],
Maskerade). At the IPEM he also met Lucien Goethals and Herman Sabbe.
Joris de Laet teaches composition (electro-acoustic music) at the Royal Conservatory in Antwerp.
He is also co-founder and vice-chairman of the Belgian Federation of Electro-Acoustic Music
(BeFEM / FéBeMe). In 1997 he received the SABAM prize for electro-acoustic music and in
2000 became a member of the SABAM committee for the evaluation of electro-acoustic compositions.

After completing her education, she worked as a researcher at the CERL Sound Group, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and later as a visiting assistant professor at the University of Illinois before leaving the university to launch the Symbolic Sound Corporation.

Scaletti designed the Kyma sound generation computer language and co-founded Symbolic Sound Corporation with Kurt J. Hebel in 1989 as a spinoff of the CERL Sound Group.

Scaletti has published professional articles in the Computer Music Journal, proceedings of the OOPSLA and SPIE conferences, Perspectives of New Music, and as book chapters. In 2003 she received the Distinguished Alumnae Award for contributions in the field of music from Texas Tech University. From 2000 to 2007, she lectured at the Center for the Creation of Music Iannis Xenakis (CCMIX) in Paris.

Scaletti was a member of the executive committee for the IEEE Task Force on Computer Music, a member of the advisory board for the Electronic Music Foundation, and the founder and chair of SIGSound, a special interest group within the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). Scaletti also serves as the president of the Salvatore Martirano Foundation.(Wiki)

Luc Ferrari
(February 5, 1929 – August 22, 2005) was a French composer of Italian heritage.

Ferrari was born in Paris, and was trained in music at a very young age. He studied the piano under Alfred Cortot, musical analysis under Olivier Messiaen, and composition under Arthur Honegger. His first works were freely atonal. A case of tuberculosis in his youth interrupted his career as a pianist. From then on he mostly concentrated on musical composition. During this illness he had the opportunity to become acquainted with the radio receiver, with pioneers such as Schönberg, Berg, and Webern.

In 1954, Ferrari went to the United States to meet Edgard Varèse, whose Déserts he had heard on the radio, and had impressed him. This seems to have had a great effect on him, with the tape part in Déserts serving as inspiration for Ferrari to use magnetic tape in his own music. In 1958 he co-founded the Groupe de Recherches Musicales with Pierre Schaeffer and François-Bernard Mâche. He taught in institutions around the world, and worked for film, theatre and radio. By the early 1960, Ferrari had begun work on his Hétérozygote, a piece for magnetic tape which uses ambient environmental sounds to suggest a dramatic narrative. The use of ambient recordings was to become a distinctive part of Ferrari's musical language.

Ferrari's Presque rien No. 1 'Le Lever du jour au bord de la mer (1970) is regarded as a classic of its kind. In it, Ferrari takes a day-long recording of environmental sounds at a Yugoslavian beach and, through editing, makes a piece that lasts just twenty-one minutes. It has been seen as an affirmation of John Cage's idea that music is always going on all around us, and if only we were to stop to listen to it, we would realise this. Ferrari continued to write purely instrumental music as well as his tape pieces. He also made a number of documentary films on contemporary composers in rehearsal, including Olivier Messiaen and Karlheinz Stockhausen.(Wiki)
