"The most consistent influence," Richard Felciano has written about his life, "is that of my childhood in a small northern California community with substantial Japanese and Portuguese populations. From these groups I learned a sense of ritual, of structure, of awe, and of music as a social function....The reality of the world to me is East and West, stasis and dynamism, meditation and dialectic. It is also what California is - the edge where the two meet."

Concerto for Organ and Orchestra
Galactic Rounds for orchestra
Mutations for Orchestra
Overture Concertante for clarinet and orchestra
Symphony for string orchestra

My work in electronic music began in the early sixties, as a part of
the San Francisco Tape Music Center with Morton Subotnick, Ramon Sender
and Pauline Oliveros. Possibly the most formative experience came in 1967-8
as the composer-member of a resident five-artist group at the National Center
for Experiments in Television, established by the Rockefeller Foundation

Also, an exact list of all equipment leaving the house needs to be emailed to mzed@cnmat.berkeley.edu. Even if I am there and help you pick out the gear, I need *you* to make this list. Also included in this list is an estimate of when you plan to return the gear.

Dense Linear Algebra:

- Filter-banks (e.g. compressor / expander); in hearing aids, EQ.
- Basic linear operations for massively-multi-channel arrays (many-channel arrays)
- Dimensionality reduction for control paradigms (e.g. PCA)
- Sensor integration
- SVD

Sparse Linear Algebra:

- Spectral pruning
- Pitch extraction
- Concatenative synthesis?

I. Introduction

Software running on PCs has largely replaced the electronic and
electro-mechanical equipment previously used in audio and video
production.

For example, Apple's Final Cut Pro is a software video editor that has
largely replaced hardware video editors for movie trailer and
television news production. In audio recording studios, analog tape

Audio and video render farms to individually watermark large media databases.

People involved at CNMAT are from a wide range of disciplines and are drawn together by their common interest in exploring the world of music. The principals are specialists in musical composition, musical psychoacoustics and computer science.

CNMAT is located in historic Genevieve McEnerney Hall (once the headquarters
of 1750 Arch Records and the Arch Ensemble), on the hilly north edge of the
UC Berkeley Campus. The CNMAT facility includes research labs, seminar rooms, performance
spaces, offices, and digital audio recording, analysis and synthesis facilities.
