The 90-year-old composer will be playing his new work, 'As I Live and Breathe,' which he premiered at the Venice Biennale.
Experimental composer Morton Subotnick, regarded as the grandfather as electronic music, likes sharing his work but doesn’t particularly care for performing. “I’ve never enjoyed performing,” Subotnick said in a telephone interview. “I get terribly nervous. It never went away.” Nonetheless, he will be in San Antonio this weekend for a series of performances at the URBAN-15 Studio.
When I started, there were maybe 20 people, to be generous with the number, worldwide at that time — everything was just starting,” he said. “I was working in the theater and with dancers, and writing music with instruments and things, and I began to realize it was going to be a whole new genre.” He and fellow composers Ramon Sender and Pauline Oliveros founded the San Francisco Tape Music Center, a recording studio and performance venue for experimental music, in 1962.
