By merging light and sound sine waves, parameters such as frequency, amplitude and spatialization have been mapped into three sound wave generators or voices (bass line, harmonies and lead) and three waveforms from a modular video synthesizer on MaxMSP aiming to audiovisual synchronicity and equivalence. Jordan Dykstra “Within, Outside, and Beside Itself: The Architecture of the CFA” A performance which plays not only with the idea of lecture-performance as a musicological extension of history, narrative, and academic performance-composition Within, Outside, and Beside Itself: The Architecture of the CFA also addresses how the presenta- tion of knowledge is linked to the production of knowledge through performance. I believe that creating space for new connections through creative presentation and alternative methodologies can both foster new arenas for discussion and coordinate existing relationships between academia and the outside world. A critique regarding how the Center for the Arts at Wesleyan University func- tions as an academic institution, as well as its physical role as the third teacher, my lecture performance playfully harmonizes texts from art historians at Wesleyan University, archaeologists, critical theorists, YouTube transcriptions, quotes from the founder of the Reggio Emilia school, and medical journal articles about mirror neurons.

MESSAGE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR WELCOME TO OTHER MINDS 19 Ever since the dawn of “modern music” in the U.S., the San Francisco Bay Area has been a leading force in exploring new territory. In 1914 it was Henry Cowell leading the way with his tone clusters and strumming directly on the strings of the concert grand, then his students Lou Harrison and John Cage in the 30s with their percussion revolution, and the protégés of Robert Erickson in the Fifties with their focus on graphic scores and improvisation, and the SF Tape Music Center’s live electronic pioneers Subotnick, Oliveros, Sender, and others in the Sixties, alongside Terry Riley, Steve Reich and La Monte Young and their new minimalism.

  • This Is an Interview with Dean Rusk
    Dean Rusk Oral History Collection Rusk DDD DDD Dean Rusk interviewed by Richard Rusk 1986 January RICHARD RUSK: This is an interview with Dean Rusk. Rich is doing the interviewing. This is January 1986. This topic is comments and response to my dad's letters from Oxford and Germany back during the 1930's. These letters were addressed to his family and are in the Dean Rusk Collection at the University of Georgia. Pop, I read those letters to you yesterday. Do you have any comments of a general nature about the letters you wrote back in those days? DEAN RUSK: I enjoyed going over those letters more than I thought I would. But I think that you can see certain things there that tell something about me. There still were traces of my deep and active interest in church and religious matters. I've been very active in the church from my smallest childhood, through elementary school, high school, and at Davidson College. In my senior year at Davidson, I was President of the YMCA [Young Men's Christian Association], which was the student body organized in its religious capacity. And so I was very active in religious matters through Davidson. My father had gone to theological seminary, Louisville and at Columbia in Decatur, and he himself was, of course, deeply Involved in religious questions, and so you saw some reflection of that, for example, in the thought that I toyed with for a while about trying to write something about the politics of Jesus Christ. I eventually slid away from that because I came to realize that the circumstances of the world at the time that Christ lived were so fundamentally different from the circumstances in which we were living now, that one had to be careful about drawing too many lessons from the Bible simply through metaphor.
