Charlie Morrow (born ''Charles Morrow'', February 9, 1942) is an American sound artist, composer, conceptualist and performer whose work connects leading edge ideas and technologies with archaic and shamanistic practices. His numerous and diverse creative projects have included chanting and healing works, museum and gallery installations, large-scale festival events, radio and TV broadcasts, film soundtracks, commercial sound design and advertising jingles.〔(The Wire (UK) Issue #322, December 2010 )〕 ==Education and influences== Morrow was born in Newark, New Jersey and grew up in Rutherford and Passaic, NJ. His parents were both distinguished psychiatrists. He started playing trumpet at age 10, and then took up bugle. Subsequently has also performed using conch shells, cow and goat horns, Jew’s harp, ocarina and homemade electronics. His work has focused on breath, vocalization, gesture and mental dream states.〔(Discogs Charlie Morrow Page )〕 Morrow attended Columbia College (1958–1961), where his teachers included composer Otto Luening and, importantly, ethnomusicologist Willard Rhodes, who introduced Morrow to oral cultures and shamanic traditions. In 1963, Morrow received a Diploma in Composition from Mannes College of Music where his teachers had included Stefan Wolpe and William Jay Sydeman. At the same time that Morrow’s formal education was encouraging him to cultivate an academic style, he encountered figures from the New York avant garde, notably Philip Corner, who expressed preference for the conceptual action works Morrow had written while still in High School. Morrow performed with Corner in the Tone Roads Ensemble which also featured James Tenney and Malcolm Goldstein, and through Corner he met radical figures including John Cage and Fluxus artist Alison Knowles. In 1964 Morrow met his most important collaborator, poet Jerome Rothenberg, who was then teaching at Mannes. Between 1974 and 1989 they were co-directors of The New Wilderness Foundation, promoting cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary art and performance, while exploring correspondences between current developments and cultures of the distant past. The Foundation staged concerts, published EAR Magazine and New Wilderness Letter and issued cassette recordings under the New Wilderness Audiographics imprint. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charlie Morrow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
