<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%">As
a man of many, interconnected facets, John Chowning has played a leading role
in several chapters of the history of electronic music. As a composer, his is
one of the few essential names in any overview of computer music made in the
United States in the early seventies. In 1964, with the help of Max Mathews
(from the legendary Bell Labs, where computer music was virtually born) and David
Poole from Stanford University, Chowning began using Stanford’s Artificial
Intelligence laboratory for his experiments. Years later, in 1975, he founded
the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford,
which remains one of the key centres in music technology research anywhere in
the world. Lastly, in his role as developer, Chowning is the inventor of FM
synthesis: the technique that revolutionized the world of synthesizers and the
sound of electronic music in the eighties. </span><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"> </span></p>

this podcast, John Chowning charts a historical overview of the different
branches of his artistic career, focusing on his interest in the human voice,
the creation of new sonorities, and being a pioneer in a discipline at a time
when using computers to generate music was a leap into the void between
creative eccentricity and scientific adventure. </span><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"> </span></p>
