Alongside continuing his electro-acoustic work, Will Guthrie has developed a series of solo works for drums, gongs, and other metal percussion instruments. Guthrie’s rhythmically complex, undeniable physical work also touches on aspects of world musics from Javanese gamelan to South Indian Carnatic music.
David Tudor's Pulsers (1976) explores the world of rhythms created electronically by analog rather than digital circuitry. Tudor's original recording of the piece incorporated an improvised tape by violinist Takehisa Kosugi and a complex modulator designed by Gordon Mumma in conjunction with a sound system devised by Tudor.
