This was a lecture series designed to introduce composers and performers of contemporary music whose works cross the boundaries of conventional musical genres.

American composer Carl Stone is one of the contemporary composers in the U. S. who actively works on compositions of computer-generated music. Mr. Stone elaborated in his talk about his career in music from his college days to date and the characteristics of his compositions and performance. He mentioned his experience at a radio station when he was a student of university. His work there was to make a sampling tape by picking up a portion of music or modulating existing sound. This work became the starting point of his career as a composer of computer-generated music. He found it interesting that there was no distinct difference between the original and its copy which was made through the computer and electronic techniques. He is very confident that his new musical expression created by making a portion of music or sound into an entirely new form of sound is very creative and progressive. He introduced his early pieces and collaborative works on CDs, and performed impromptus. A Q&A session followed.
