  CDs David Behrman
The relationship between the two musicians and the computer is an interactive one, with the computer changing the electronically-produced harmonies in response to what the musicians play, and the musicians influenced in their improvising by what the computer does.
David Gibson's only "score" was a list of 6 pitches to be used in performance, and a request that he not speed up when the computer-controlled rhythm did.
Behrman creates thickly layered liquid sounds utilizing this complex computer music system which absorbs, actually hears, the sounds of instrumentalists, then plays off their improvisations with its own synthesized reactions.

 David Behrman - "Composer as Record Executive"
By doing this type of work, Behrman sensitized his ear to the delicacies of recording techniques, which would later inform his own compositions and recordings of his work; indeed, to this day Behrman is keenly involved with his recordings and personally oversees the technical end of the sessions to his satisfaction.
It was also through this work that Behrman fell in love with the beauty of recorded sound; in those splicing rooms, he was exposed to the best speakers, the best recording devices, the best amplifiers and listening to the fresh master tapes knocked him out.
Behrman felt the inevitable contradiction of being in a position of power to get challenging material out to the record buying public, but was uncomfortable with the choices to be made amongst which of his peers he would select for his projects.

In 1977, David Behrman began to use a computer (it was a KIM-1, a tiny, single-board microprocessor) and homemade synthesizer to 'listen' to players and react to what they played.
The music includes David Behrman's 'Runthrough' (1967), realized with new digital circuitry in 1998 by Mark Trayle; Mark Trayle's 'Primitive Still Life (With Pairs' (1993); Barry Schrader's 'Beyond' (1992); David Rosenboom's 'Music from On Being Invisible II (Hypatia Speaks to Jefferson in a Dream)' (1995); and Morton Subotnick's 'It Begins...' (1997).
She is, as Behrman puts it, "free to explore within an environment created by the system..." Also included on the disc is Takahashi's 'Iko to Ishi' (Breath and Stone, 1990), with his own recitation and striking sounds.

Stylistically they're are all over the map, going from the grating noise of Gordon Mumma to the atmospheric improvisational compositions of George Lewis and David Behrman to the endearing pop of "Blue" Gene Tyranny and Peter Gordon.
Along with Gordon Mumma, Alvin Lucier, and Robert Ashley (all of whom released music on Lovely), Behrman in 1966 founded the Sonic Arts Union, one of the first traveling DIY home-made electronics avant-garde live performance art music collectives (kind of like Black Dice, only 40 years ago when it was original).
In 1977, using the then-new microcomputer Kim-1, Behrman programmed a dual synthesizer system which responded to the playing of live musicians in real time, producing constantly shifting harmonic textures over which the musicians could improvise.

David Behrman is particularly well suited to introduce artists and musicians to this technology because his background is in music and not engineering.
When the computer is ready to accept sounds from the live mic it signals Behrman's homemade bank of triangle wave oscillators, which emit a gradually rising pitch.
Behrman in contrast informed us that he was looking over the program for the concerts which he had written over a year ago, and had trouble remembering all the twists and turns as it was over 180 pages long.

One of the early pioneers to investigate the revolutionary role that computers could have on music performance and composition was sound engineer David Behrman (USA, 1937).
His Cloud Music (1978), for example, completely removed humans (both composers and performers) from the process: the music was generated by digital machines based on the light in the sky, each cloud causing a variation in the sound.

Even though 'minimalist' composers/musicians such as Terry Riley, LaMonte Young and Steve Reich are pretty well-known outside of their own musical style, David Behrman has not been as heralded.
It's a waste to speculate why but there are more compelling reasons to consider why he should be well-known: producer of Terry Riley's In C, creator of electronic keyboards well before the Moog, composer of interactive systems with machines and performers and their environment (involving the audience themselves in performances) and on and on.
Stockhausen, John Cage, Pierre Boulez, Luigi Nono, David Tudor, Henri Pousseur and others were all on friendly terms and open to one anothers' ideas.

From John Cage's famous "William's Mix" of tape snippets to Karkheinz Stockhausen's electronic orchestral compositions, from David Tudor and Holger Czukay's experiments in unrelated blendings of audio elements to David Behrman's supremely peaceful duet between computers and musicians, the aural renegades on OHM tread where none (save a few of their contemporaries) had gone before.
In many instances, this does what the set is meant to do on the whole: it gives a good overview of the history and growth of electronic music as its own experimental genre.
Highlights for me are no doubt Olivier Messiaen's 'Oraison' on CD 1, David Tudor's 'Rainforest Version 1' on CD 2 and on CD 3 David Behrman's 'On the Other Ocean' and Maryanne Amacher's 'Living sound Patent Pending'.
