Dear Academy Member Some years are more susceptible than others to characterization with a glib phrase. For some, for example, this will be "The Year the Oscars were Stolen." Those of us who were involved, of course, will always remember that week, and we'll probably even refer to the year that way. But the 12 months were too filled with expanded programs, new programs and planned programs for that one event to characterize it. It truly was a transitional year. The switch from the 1900s to the 2000s, which fell midway in our fiscal accounting, is an excellent metaphor for this Academy year, firmly grounded in a tradition of excellence but looking forward to a blossoming future. We began to see the effects of our improved financial position. We tripled the funding of our grants program, announced the creation of an Academy Film Scholars competition and launched the first of what will be an ongoing series of membership forums. Membership committees worked diligently throughout the year on questions of awards categori es and branch makeup, while the staff searched for physical space into which some of the expanded and new programs can move.

Had it not been for the Institute, I would not be embarking on a life-long journey as a writer and researcher in genocide studies, an aspiring academic who now seeks to create and develop my own visual history archive. Thank you to every donor for all of your support, and I hope you will continue to support the mission of the Institute and continue to instill in my peers and colleagues this profound humanitarian spirit I carry with me today.

Varèse began to gather and process the sounds as soon as he could find equipment capable of doing the job, and completed it during 1954 at the studios of the French Radio, upon the invitation of one of the pioneers in the field, Pierre Schaeffer. The world premiere was given by Hermann Scherchen and the Orchestre Nationale, Paris, December 2, 1954. The interpolations of organized sound were revised with the technical assistance of Bülent Arel in 1961 at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center. A new master was prepared especially for this recording by Mr. Arel. DÉSERTS consists of four instrumental sections and three interpolations of organized sound. In Varèse's own words: "The music given to the instrumental ensemble may be said to evolve in opposing planes and volumes, producing the sensation of movement in space." The mutation and movement of these "planes and volumes" are defined by intervals that are "not based on any fixed set ..
