About
In a series of wide-ranging interviews and discussions, Roger Reynolds discusses various threads woven through his life and music. They include the use of text, thoughts on sound spatialization, site-specifics works, intermedia, technology in music, his compositional methods, and relationships with other composers (including Iannis Xenakis, Toru Takemitsu, John Cage, and Elliott Carter).

The Roger Reynolds Collection is held at the Library of Congress, and contains manuscripts, sketches, correspondence, recordings and other primary source materials related to Reynolds' life and work.

Reynolds is interviewed by David Plylar of the Music Division, and their discussion covers topics such as the physical and electronics issues of spatialization, notating spatialization, realizing spatialization in performance and audience spaces, textual and situational glossing, notation of electroacoustic sound, the problems of communicating dynamic balance in electroacoustic music, theme and variations, visualization, descriptive approaches to communicating spatial needs, and the role of psychology in articulating and perceiving music…
