		John Chowning, one of the “fathers” of digital music, was instrumental in making digital music synthesis in “real time” possible.
		Still a musician at heart, he not only studied the way that the brain perceives sound in space, but also composed and performed musical pieces to demonstrate his studies.
		His research on the spatial aspects of acoustics was influential in later years in the creation of “surround sound” and other advanced, multi-channel sound recording and reproducing systems.
