Short bio Alvin Lucier
Full biography Alvin Lucier
Alvin Augustus Lucier Jr. (May 14, 1931 – December 1, 2021) was an American composer of experimental music and sound installations. He was born in Nashua, New Hampshire, and studied at Yale and Brandeis University, where he later taught for many years.
Lucier was a pioneering figure in the world of experimental music, known for his innovative and often unconventional use of sound and technology. He was particularly interested in exploring the physical properties of sound, and his works often involved the use of natural phenomena such as echoes, waves, and resonant frequencies.
Some of his most well-known works include "I am sitting in a room," which involves recording and replaying a spoken text multiple times until the words become unintelligible; "Music for Solo Performer," which uses EEG readings of the performer's brainwaves to create a musical score; and "Vespers," which features four performers singing into large glass vessels to create a unique harmonic sound.
Lucier was a prolific composer, with a career spanning over six decades. He was also a dedicated teacher and mentor to many young composers, and his influence can be felt in the work of countless artists working in the experimental music and sound art fields today.
Lucier passed away on December 1, 2021, at the age of 90. His contributions to the world of experimental music will be remembered and celebrated for many years to come.
