Can you wrap some context around this Dave? I probably should know the
name considering he was 8 years my elder, but it isn't a name I recall now.

and to add to some sense of his legacy:
* if there was no max mathews, there would be no music N languages
* if there was no music N languages, there would be no Csound
* if there was no Csound, I would never have listened in awe to a
composition created with it in 1997 on a 486
* if that hadn't happened there would be no Quasimodo (*)
* if there was no Quasimodo, there would be no Ardour
so those of you who perhaps can't understand how mathew's academic
noodlings could possibly affect anything that is common today, please
think again. i had the pleasure of meeting max once, for about 10
minutes. the man is a giant. maybe there would have been other giants
that stood in his place had he not been here, but max was the giant we
got, and we are better for it.
--p
(*) and yes, there is no quasimodo anyway, but you get the point

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

"none" is kind of broad paintbrush, I think. The above is not true of the
classes we teach at the CMC. I've usually played "Bicycyle Built for Two"
by the second week of the term.

Good for you Brad. These gung-ho music types (and I don't mean that to be

"Test in the morning, folks".
OTOH, many of our 'naturals' never got anywhere near a class like that, and
have made millions. But those 'naturals' also are quite likely to have
learned it on their own just because its part of the legacy of the field
they produce new music in.

I'm with you on this: I would not be doing what I am doing if it was
not for a similar chain of events.

Yes :).
'Computer performance of music was born in
1957' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Mathews)
So he really was one of the pioneers, 20 years before the
end-1970s/beginning-1980s. And today primary-school pupil can't imagine
that there was a time without personal computers just 'some weeks
ago' ;).
