Two faculty members from the University Park Campus, James Benshoof and Burt Fenner, Department of Music, College of Arts and Architecture, Penn State, will conduct the program. The hour and a half session begins with a brief history of electronic music which dates back to the period following World War 11. During this period, musicians began experimenting with the production of new sounds with the aid of oscillators, filters, tape recorders, and other equipment. With the invention of the electronic synthesizer, this form of music became increasingly popular in the early 1960'5. Following this brief lecture is a demonstration of electronic equipment. The two Penn State musicians travel with three electronic synthesizers. These shape electron waves in order to send them to the speaker where they then become sounds. An oscilloscope is set up to demonstrate a visual picture of the electron waves on a monitor and enables the audience to both hear and see the wave forms at the same time. In the past decade, electronic music has become popular on the commercial market. An example is "Scitched on. Bach" done on a Moog synthesizer about five years ago. Various rock groups as well as television commercials and motion pictures are now using electronic background music. Concluding the program will be a live concert performance. The chosen selections will include original compositions by the two Penn State musicians. The program is sponsored by Capitol's Cultural Programs Committee and is free and open to the public. DTK Meeting Delta Tau Kappa, the international social science honor society, will stage a meeting on Tuesday, January 23 at 7 p.m. in the Gallery Lounge. Students are invited to meet current members over coffee and cookies in a discussion of club service projecties and activities. The society is the soul "intellectual" organization on campus.
