专辑简介
Ezra Sims is known mainly as a composer of microtonal music. He made his professional debut (with his earlier twelve-note music) on a Composers Forum program, in New York, in 1959. In 1960, he found himself compelled by his ear to begin writing microtonal music, which he has done almost exclusively since then — aside from several years when he made tape music for dancers, musicians at the time being generally even more afraid of microtones than they are now. His music has been performed from Tokyo to Salzburg.
He has received various awards — Guggenheim Fellowship, Koussevitzky commission, Ameri-can Academy of Arts and Letters Award, etc. He has lectured on his music in the US and abroad, most notably at the Hambürger Musikgespr?ch, 1994; the second Naturton Symposium in Heidelberg, 1992; and the 3rd and 4th Symposium, Mikrot?ne und Ekmelische Musik, at the Hochschüle für Musik und Darstel-lende Kunst Mozarteum, Salzburg, in 1989 & 1991. In 1992-93, he was guest lecturer in the Richter Herf Institut für Musikalische Grundlagenforschung in the Mozarteum.
He has published articles on his tech-nique in Computer Music Journal, Mikrot?ne III, Mikrot?ne IV, Perspectives of New Music, and Ex Tem-pore.
With Ted Mook, he designed a font, for use with computer printing programs, for his set of accidentals sufficient for 72-note music that has been widely adopted in the field (http://www.mindearth
He was co-founder -- with Rodney Lister and Scott Wheeler -- of Dinosaur Annex Music Ensemble, of which he was President from 1977-1981, and on its Board of Directors from that time to 2003.
His music is published by Frog Peak Music (www.frogpeak.org) and Diapason Press (Corpus Microtonale) and is available from New World Records on CRI LP 186 and CD 578, 643, and 784.
