CAPITOL CAMPUS - MIDDLETOWN, PA
Electronic
A lecture, demonstration and
performance of electronic music
will be given on January 22,
1973 at 2:00 p.m. in the
auditorium of Capitol Campus.
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.

international social science
honor society, will stage a

new dimension to Dr. Goldman's
capabilities.

Dr. Goldman plans to complete

SOVIET UNION IN JAPAN,

programs the Republican Club
conducted during his
administration as well as the
accomplishments made in the
fall election. He placed special
