[microsound] "The Art of David Tudor" Web resource

[Philip Curtis <pcurt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all, 
 
I work for the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, and am involved in this project, as well as the upcoming David Tudor exhibition (opens in July).
 
Thought the list might be interested, as Tudor has come up in a number of historical discussions on this list.
 
Note that the GRI has a Tudor archive that may be visited and studied by anyone who is interested.

We are delighted to announce the launch of a new Web resource drawing on the archival collections of the Getty Research Institute relating to the work of pianist/composer David Tudor (1926-1996). "The Art of David Tudor" expands the original 2001 Tudor Symposium Web site through original scholarship on Tudor's career, biographies of his collaborators, and links to pertinent Research Library Collections. The new site contains eight audiovisual clips featuring segments from the CalArts installation of Rainforest IV and the artists' panel that was part of the symposium, the symposium performance of Tudor's live electronic work Dialects, as well as clips from Tudor's collaborative underwater kite video piece Sea Tails (which will open as part of a Research Institute Gallery exhibition on July 13, 2004), his performances of pieces by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Pauline Oliveros, and John Cage, and an excerpt from the film David Tudor's Ocean, with an electronic score by Tudor which accompanied
 Cage's last piece with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company (1994). 

Nancy Perloff (Research Institute Collections Curator, Modern and New Media Collections) curated the site; project management was provided by Sally Hubbard (Research Institute Digital Projects Manager). Steven Swimmer of the Getty Web Group provided technical assistance and expertise.
