The University of Wyoming Department of Music, in partnership with the School of Computing, present “Tech and Music,” featuring Stephen David Beck, American composer and educator, and UW Music faculty member and clarinetist Dr. Blake McGee. Stephen David Beck teaches music composition, electroacoustic music, and computer applications in music at Louisiana State University, where he is the Derryl and Helen Haymon Professor of Music. About his music, Beck writes: “…the use of technology in my music is not meant to replace musicians, but rather to enhance and expand a performer’s potential for expressiveness, technique and, most importantly, timbre. There is an uncanny beauty in the physical and mathematical laws of nature, a beauty of intense complexity bound by simplicity, order, and logic. For me, this is a constant and powerful source of inspiration, and modern technology seems the perfect tool for expressing that inspiration and awe.”
