Abstract

Abstract In 1956, Lejaren A. Hiller, Jr., and Leonard Isaacson debuted the Illiac Suite, the first score composed with a computer. Its reception anticipated Hiller’s embattled career as an experimental composer. Though the Suite is an influential work of modern electronic music, Hiller’s accomplishment in computational experimentation is above all an impressive feat of postwar conceptual performance art. A reexamination of theoretical and methodological processes resulting in the Illiac Suite reveals a conceptual and performative emphasis reflecting larger trends in the experimental visual arts of the 1950s and 1960s, illuminating his eventual collaborations with John Cage and establishing his legacy in digital art practices.

电子大脑创作的音乐组曲:重新审视伊利亚克组曲和小勒哈伦·A·希勒的遗产。

摘要1956年，小勒贾伦·A·希勒和伦纳德·艾萨克森首次推出了《伊利亚克组曲》，这是第一部用电脑创作的乐谱。它的接收预示着希勒作为一名实验作曲家的职业生涯陷入困境。尽管《组曲》是一部有影响力的现代电子音乐作品，但希勒在计算实验方面的成就首先是战后概念行为艺术的一项令人印象深刻的成就。对《伊利亚克组曲》产生的理论和方法过程的重新审视揭示了对概念和表演的重视，反映了20世纪50年代和60年代实验视觉艺术的更大趋势，阐明了他最终与约翰·凯奇的合作，并在数字艺术实践中确立了他的遗产。
