The First Great Electric Pumpkin Patch

Northern Illinois University

1978

Collection of Tim Blickhan

Tim recalls:

"This event featured the performance of my A Chicken Will Probably Fall On Your Head During This (Piece) for three players, 150-foot tape loop, 3 tape recorders, and actor. The tape loop can be seen in the upper left of each photo.

"As I recall...the evening also included a panel discussion that featured, via conference call, [Joseph Pinzarrone's] Delaware colleague from MAMMI (Mid-American Modern Music Institute?), Dick Uranus.

"The concert was a triggering event in that it led to the creation of the Neoteric Ensemble in the following year."

Chinary Ung was guest composer at the NIU school of Music 1978—1979.
