Loren Rush
Loren Rush (born August 23, 1935 ) is an American composer and pianist .
The co-founder and president of the Good Sound Foundation conducted research in the fields of digital recording and playback systems, digital audio signal processing, the simulation of acoustic environments and the development of intelligent music analysis systems. In the late 1950s he made a series of recordings with Pauline Oliveros , Terry Riley , Laurel Johnson , Robert Erickson and Bill Butler in which they experimented with improvisational music and aleatoric music. His aleatory composition Hexahedron (1963) was recorded by the pianist Dwight Peltzer .
Commissioned by Niklas Wyss and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra , he composed I'll See You in My Dreams for amplified orchestra and tape in 1973 , the first work in which the electronic amplification of an entire orchestra was artistically used. His Song and Dance (1975), a commission for Seiji Ozawa and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra , is the first composition for orchestra and computer-generated digital live music.
