Alister Spence Trio
No full textThis performance was a demonstration of the research in music composition and performance undertaken by Dr Alister Spence from UNSW, and musician colleagues, Lloyd Swanton, and Toby Hall, performing together as the Alister Spence Trio. This research investigates the agency of contingency in inter-genre, music making, and the continuum between composition and improvisation. (What I have termed the Experimental Composition, Improvisation Continuum or ECIC.
Interview with Helen Spence
No full textHelen Spence came to MSU as a student in 1936 and worked as a lab assistant in the physics department. After she graduated in early 1939, she taught math, physics and chemistry in a public school in Portland, Michigan. In 1942 she married Bob Spence and they moved out East where her husband taught radar to Army and Navy personnel while she worked in the theoretical division of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Radiation Lab on state-of-the-art computers (Monroes and Marchants \u2013 mainly electrically-powered calculating machines that carried 10 digits and could add, subtract, multiply and divide but not figure square roots). Spence and her husband came to MSU in 1947 where he taught in the Physics Department and she was an instructor in the Computer Science Department, teaching Assembly languages. She helped program the first major computer on campus and eventually taught FORTRAN in the 1960s. Mrs. Spence retired in 1987. Topics/people covered in the interview include: Walter Adams; Assembly languages; Albert Einstein; Eric Goodman; Lewis Greenberg; campus in 1947; computer program; female faculty/students; student housing; women students; Women's Building; MIT Radiation Lab; computers; Computer Science Department; FORTRAN; effect of the Great Depression; MIT Radiation Lab; Lawrence Von Tersc

'Sensaround' (Spence/MacDonald/Ahmad) Japan tour concert
No full textThis performance took place as part of a tour by 'Sensaround' in Japan in 2016. Spence/MacDonald and Ahmad are committed to exploring how contingency acts on collective improvisation and real-time composition to produce surprising, unpremeditated and effective results.
The research area matches with Spence's investigation of the Experimental Composition Improvisation Continuum which explores contemporary extensions of the historical Experimental Music Movement and reconciled with Jazz through the writings of Nyman, Lewis, Bailey, Morris etc
