<p><em>"In classical music, a fugue is a contrapuntal, polyphonic compositional technique in two or more voices, built on a subject that is introduced at the beginning in imitation, which recurs frequently throughout the course of the composition."</em></p>

<p class="p1">Digital Arts and Experimental Media presents Daniel Peterson’s latest music composition<i>, Into the Air</i>, which explores the ephemeral nature of sound and the paradox of being. Inspired in part by Jorge Luis Borges' <em>Everything and Nothing</em>, the 80-minute piece embodies both presence and absence, holding within it the traces of countless influences while remaining transient and unimaginable; idiosyncratic and universal.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Composer John Chowning is considered one of the pioneers of Computer Music. His contributions to this field, such as the invention of FM Digital Synthesis, had a strong cultural impact in the worlds of both classical and popular music. His invention allowed the production of one of the most popular digital synthesizers, the Yamaha DX7, which sold millions of units in the 1980s and was used by virtually every band from that era.
