Cornish Presents: John Chowning
PONCHO Concert Hall (Kerry Hall, Cornish College of the Arts)
Seattle, WA
Share this event:


Electronic music pioneer John Chowning presents an evening of his compositions.

In 1967, John Chowning discovered FM synthesis: a straightforward yet powerful way of producing rich synthesized sounds.  His discovery revolutionized the music industry.

The simplicity of FM synthesis allowed composers to appropriate a new technology that would soon change the world: the computer. Yamaha released the DX-7, based on Chownings FM synthesis algorithm, in 1983. The global sonic landscape was transformed, often in unexpected ways, as computer music moved from the lab to studios, recordings, concerts and homes. Today, the applications of FM synthesis are omnipresent  in everything from contemporary electronic music to cell phone ringtones. - Arts at MIT

John Chowning is Professor Emeritus at Stanford and founding director of the universitys Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). As a composer, Chowning has worked toward turning his discovery of frequency modulation synthesis (FM) into a system of musical importance, using it extensively in his works.
