Ringve Music Museum arranges two events about Knut Wiggen on January 28 and 29, 2017. Knut Wiggen is an international pioneer of computer music from Norway, and my lecture on saturday discusses his contributions to the technological development, all in historical context. Particular attention will be given to his software MusicBox that was the first music program with a graphical interface. The concert on sunday is filled with some of his early works for piano, his electroacoustic pieces, and music from Orkdal high school workshop where the students have composed with NOTAMs program DSP with their own sounds and elements taken out from Wiggen’s works.
More info on the events can be found here.
Ringve musikkmuseum arrangerer 28. og 29. januar 2017 to begivenheter om Knut Wiggen, som er en av computermusikkens pionerer i verden. Mitt foredrag på lørdag plasserer hans arbeid med teknologiutviklingen i kontekst med hva som ellers foregikk i verden i hans samtid, og jeg diskuterer sammenhengen i hans arbeid, som er temmelig enestående.
