Herbert Brun (1918 - 2000)

Composer, computer artist, pioneer in algorithmic composition





Herbert Brun began his electronic music career in the Paris, Cologne and
Munich studios in Europe during the late 1950s. In 1963, he was invited to
the University of Illinois at Champaign / Urbana to work with Lejaren
Hiller. He joined the faculty at the University of Illinois and has remained
active since then as composer, computer artist, and professor.

Statements:

"In contradistinction to Industry and Business who must dominate the system
to which they adjust, Technology and The Arts need neither dominate nor
adjust. Composers and technologists are not concerned with the exploitation
of, and adjustment to, problems. They are concerned with the solution of
problems and, as a first step in this direction, with the design of models,
structural analogies, of the desired solution."


"I had to find some way to affectionately liberate myself from myself,
nevertheless still distinguishing myself from and in a society which I don't
find yet desirable."
