Â Morton Subotnick Biography

While in San Francisco, he co-founded (with Ramon Sender) the San Francisco Tape Music Center (now located at Mills College) and was Music Director of the Ann Halprin Dance Company and the San Francisco Actor's Workshop.
The "ghost" score (which contains no audible sounds) consists of a digital program which commands electronic modules to modify the instrumental sounds as they are played from a traditionally notated score.
In addition to composing numerous works in the electronic medium, Subotnick has written eight works for orchestra, including Before the Butterfly, a Bicentennial Commissiion by the six major U.S. Orchestras; chamber and ensemble works; music for the theatre and multi-media productions.
