From the Vaults, Part Three: Meet the Composer With Otto Luening
Otto Luening was a forefather of experimental electronic music and a life-long educator, flutist and composer. In this 1985 interview with host Tim Page, from the original WNYC program called Meet the Composer, Luening tells the story of his first electronic experiments and wonders why audiences had found new interest in some of his earliest works. We also take a look at Alvin Lucier, another tape music maverick, as we prepare for the start of our new season on Monday.\n---\nAbout the podcast:\nMeet the Composer is a Peabody Award-winning podcast that takes listeners into the minds and creative processes of the composers making some of the most innovative, compelling, and breathtakingly beautiful music today.\nFollow Meet the Composer\xa0on Twitter:\xa0@MeettheComposerLike Meet the Composer\xa0on Facebook:\xa0www.facebook.com/meetthecomposer\n---\nQ2 Music is WQXR, New York's multi-platform home for dynamic modern\xa0music.
