  Paul Lansky
Paul Lansky is one of the 'original' electronic/computer music composers who has been producing works from the seventies right up to the present day.
Lansky's first album, "Smalltalk" was not released until 1990.
At around this point there was a slight change in the style of Lansky's music that made it sound slightly more, for want of a better word, 'modern', and 1997 heralded a one hour 'computer opera', "Things She Carried", a musical portrait about an unnamed woman in a series of eight movements.

 [No title]
Paul Lansky is one of the most prominent and accessible of modern American composers who write primarily for the medium of computer-generated sound.
Lansky thus was moving away from the manipulation of abstract pitch sets (he co-wrote the article, with Perle, on "Set" for the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians) to working with fragments of music that already had built-in associations for the listener.
Lansky has written that he sees a strong similarity between the reading of a text and the performance of a musical score, so that he uses both as sources for his computer-generated extrapolations.

 Paul Lansky, Conversation Pieces   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Paul Lansky is a Princeton University professor who has created an odd collection of electronic music that is difficult to place in terms of what, exactly, he is trying to acheive.
The use of synthesisers with frankly unconvincing sounds also does Lansky no favours, so that even an interesting premise like the enhanced cyberpiano of "Andalusia" suffers ignominious interjections from phony string and choir sounds that could have emanated from a kid's Christmas keyboard.
Lansky's tonal approach need not be a problem, but it too contributes to the directionlessness of these pieces.

 Paul Lansky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Lansky (born June 18, 1944 in New York) is widely considered one of the original electronic music or computer music composers, and has been producing works from the 1970s up to the present day (see discography, below).
At around this point there was a slight change in the style of Lansky's music that made it sound slightly more modern, and 1997 heralded a one hour 'computer opera', Things She Carried, a musical portrait about an unnamed woman in a series of eight movements.
The Radiohead song "Idioteque," from their 2000 album Kid A, features a prominent sample from Lansky's computer tape piece "Mild und Leise" (1973), which itself "samples" Richard Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde"s opening motif -- famous and influential enough in musical canon that it is simply known as the Tristan chord.

 Classical Net Review - Lansky - Ride
Here, as before, Lansky takes a speaking voice (or voices), chops it into bite-sized (byte-sized?) pieces, throws the pieces into the blender, and puts the pieces back together again in a manner that suggests melody, harmony, and rhythm.
Lansky cleverly varies the pace and the density of this piece to sustain listener interest over its ten-minute span.
Lansky liked the work so much he decided to "remix" Mackey's guitar part and add a new computer part of his own.

Recognizing that Lansky's creative stature is as palpable in the exquisiteness of his music as it is in the detail of his curriculum vitæ, I decided to think of this interview as a collection of corridor chats (non-linear, of course!).
To view Lansky as a computer hacker or boffin is to see him with only one of his hats on (others he wears are Professor of music at Princeton University, composer, guitar freak and folk music lover).
Paul: At the risk of peering inwardly a little too deeply, let me ruminate a bit on coming of age in the '60s and '70s and see how it led to the situation you characterize.

This material is embedded in a rich and complex texture, and captures the sensation of being on a ride through various landscapes, towns and villages, rather than the experience of watching traffic pass by, as in Night Traffic.
Lansky therefore decided to continue the process and make the piece into a kind of musical chain letter.
Lansky took Mackey's performance, entirely removed the original 'drum track', scrambled and edited the guitar part, and added a completely new computer part.

 Paper Thin Walls :: Single Reviews :: PAUL LANSKY - "Notjustmoreidlechatter"
When Paul Lansky was tinkering with the room-sized IBM computers at Princeton University in the early 1970s, “computer music” barely even existed as a musical category.
Ever since then, Lansky has been creating dense, poignant pieces that use the superhuman capabilities of digital technology to make very human music.
Lansky belongs to a special (and growing) group of modern composers who care as much about their music sounding great as they do about pushing the experimental envelope.

 Paul Lansky : Smalltalk - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Paul Lansky is a Princeton-based composer who specialized in computer transformations of speech and naturally occurring sounds.
Part of the problem is that the two sourced musicians (especially guitarist Steve Mackey, who sounds like an academic slumming in a populist genre) do not come through as interesting in and of themselves.
Lansky's electronic elaborations on their playing add little of interest to the already meager material; again, it sounds like an Ivy Leaguer deigning to tiptoe in the streets, and the results are predictably timid.
