Luening's 'Tape Music', including ''A Poem in Cycles & Bells'', ''Gargoyles for Violin & Synthesized Sound'', and ''Sounds of New Music'' demonstrated the early potential of synthesizers and special editing techniques for so-called classical music. An October 28 , 1952 concert with Vladimir Ussachevsky at the Museum Of Modern Art in New York City introduced ''Fantasy in Space'', flute recordings manipulated on magnetic tape, and led to an appearance on The Today Show with Dave Garroway . Luening was co-founder, along with Ussachevsky, of the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center in 1958 . He also co-founded Composers Recordings, Inc. in 1954, with Douglas Moore and Oliver Daniel . His notable students include Charles Wuorinen , Harvey Sollberger , and Karl Korte . He was survived by his wife Catherine. EXTERNAL LINKS |
