2176.0. "NOVA - What is Music? Program" by VOLKS::RYEN (Rick Ryen 240-6501 AET1-1/A6) Wed Nov 22 1989 16:49

I watched the PBS television program NOVA last night.
The title of the show was "What is Music". It was
an excellent program, that members of this conference
would surely be interested in.

Some of the topics: (I've named them myself, but you get the idea)

	Technical secrets of Violins of the masters.
		Woods of Venice
		Gemstome varnish

	Conversations with the composer of "Switched On Bach"
		Early moogs shown

	What makes music Musical (timing and expressiveness)

	Brain synthesized melody.

	The multi-cultural language and waveforms of emotion.

	17 century synthesizers (pipe organs)

I recommend this show. Check your TV Guide, there are typically multiple
broadcasts.

2176.1Didja watch the credits closely?CHOVAX::CARUSOSat Nov 25 1989 14:339
Just wundrin if they made mention of a fella named Ray Legnini on the
    program?  He is an old jammin' buddy, who from time to time does
    the soundtracks for Nova.  He is the resident Synclavier operator
    at studio 4 in downtown Philadelphia.  I have not heard from him
    in a while, and I am wondering if he is still involved in the Nova
    soundtracks.
