Though acknowledging the influence of Anderson on his course, Tcherepnin says composer John Cage is the "patron saint of Music 159r." The works of such artists as Brian Eno and Philip Glass are also among the most important developments in the genre in recent years, says Tcherepnin. But recent popular electronic creations have deviated from the experimental norm established by pioneering artists, say students in Music 159r. Tcherepnin and students agree that the germinating influences by figures like Cage have been redirected toward more commercial goals. "Artists don't control their own creativity anymore," says Tcherepnin. "The real trick...
...says Tcherepnin. "You must learn to ride a horse instead of letting it ride you." Although Harvard's equipment may be no match for MIT's studios, Tcherepnin does not see this as a drawback. There are no plans to quell the creations of Paine Hall's budding Brian Eno's, which should give Tcherepnin time to learn more about his studio. "Don't give me anything new. I still don't know everything about what we've already got," he says...
...called Heads Will Roll. "Neo-expressionism" was the buzz word for this kind of art, and, for a while, it might have been carpentered onto the Heads' music as well.

Byrne cooked up a homicidal maniac who talked to himself in French. "Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est" was the refrain of the first big- time song he ever wrote. Funny and frightening...
WHITE NOISE goes down smoothly, but it leaves the bitter aftertaste we normally associate with paranoia-chic music by David Byrne or Brian Eno. The book is replete with humorous murder scenes, letters to convicts, modern sex, and wiseacre kids. Meet Heinrich, Jack's 14-year-old balding son by a previous marriage: a difficult boy who has one bright moment organizing survival units during the evacuation; he asks his father challengingly, "What is radio? What is the principle of radio? Go ahead, explain. You're sitting in the middle of this circle of people. They use pebble tools. They...
...production exemplifies the distinctive merits of a company that is perhaps too little known on this side of the Atlantic. From its beginnings in 1931 as the Vic-Wells Opera (later Sadler's Wells), the ENO has prized a sense of ensemble that ought to be the envy of opera houses everywhere. Only a few of its singers have made major careers outside the company, but the pleasures of the ENO are to be found less in the singing than in the apposite theatricality of its productions, the innovative visions of its directors and the restless inquisitiveness...
