Kenneth Gaburo
Kenneth Gaburo (July 5, 1926 in Somerville, New Jersey; - January 26, 1993 in Iowa City, Iowa) was an American composer. Gaburo was a highly influential teacher, and served as a professor of music at the University of Illinois and the University of California, San Diego. His notable students include James Tenney and Allen Strange. He most often made innovative use of electronics and explored tonality, serialism, and what he called "compositional linguistics" such as in his LINGUA series (Listening).
