Networked_Music_Review

Scot Gresham-Lancaster is a composer, performer, instrument builder and
educator. He is dedicated to research and performance using the expanding
capabilities of computer networks for musical and cross discipline
expression. He studied with Philip Ianni, Roy Harris, Darius Milhaud, John
Chowning, Robert Ashley, Terry Riley, "Blue" Gene Tyranny and Jack Jarret,
among others. Gresham-Lancaster has been a composer in residence at Mills
College and he has been developing new families of controllers at STEIM,
Amsterdam. He has toured and recorded as a member of the HUB and has
performed the music of Alvin Curran, Pauline Oliveros, John Zorn, and John
Cage, under their direction. Gresham-Lancaster has also worked as a
technical assistant to Lou Harrison, Iannis Xenakis, David Tudor among many
others.

Helen Thorington: Welcome Scot. You were a member of the computer network
band, the HUB, and an early pioneer of computer networked music. Tell us
about the HUB and the kind of work you, John Bischoff, Tim Perkis, Chris
Brown, Mark Trayle and Phil Stone did at that time.

Scot Gresham-Lancaster: The first Computer Network Music grew out of an
underground new music scene that developed around the San Francisco Bay Area
most specifically Mills College and the Center for Contemporary Music. There
are several resources that might be of interest to those readers that want
to investigate the historical background.
