Convocation Lecture/Recital Presentation by Composer-In-Residence, Barry Truax Friday, April 7, 2000, 12:50 p.m. University of Florida Music Department, Room 120 "Inner Complexity and Outer Reality: granular synthesis and soundscape composition" Two frontiers of electroacoustic music composition today are the micro-level control of sound design, and the integration of environmental sound into the compositional process. Granular approaches to processing sampled sound have been pioneered by Barry Truax who will demonstrate how this technique brings out the inner complexity of these sounds, and how his compositional approach integrates environmental sound experience and its imagery into his music.
