In 1978 the University of Tulsa held a symposium called New Directions in Music, with lectures by Aaron Copland and a concert of computer music, and this double album documents it. Among the works are Jean-Claude Risset's Inharmonic Soundscapes, from the composer who explored timbre and illusion at Bell Labs and IRCAM, and James Dashow's Effetti collaterali, made in Padua.
The other pieces, including Mar-ri-ia-a, Los nombres, Dance, Voices, Brazen and Antony, map the state of computer music at the moment it moved from research labs into concert halls. Note the typo "Comtemporary" on the cover.
