introduction Lionel Bovier
This publication gathers together interviews with composers who pioneered new ideas between the 1950s and the 1980s, such as Karlheinz Stockhausen, Elliott Carter, and Pierre Boulez ; electroacoustic composers such as Iannis Xenakis, Robert Ashley, François Bayle, Pauline Oliveros, and Peter Zinovieff ; Minimalist and Fluxus-related artists such as Terry Riley, Tony Conrad, Steve Reich, Yoko Ono, and Phill Niblock ; as well as influential musical figures such as Brian Eno, Kraftwerk, Arto Lindsay, and Caetano Veloso. Their contributions map the evolution of the musical field, from early experiments in concrete and abstract music to electronic developments, and later hybridization of popular and avant-garde culture.
