• Bio: John Livengood is an organist and a composer of tape music who records with Red Noise and tours with Planetarium. His musical influences include Soft Machine, Terry Riley, and Miles Davis. During the 1970s, he discovered his first synthesizer (an ARP 2600), founded the group Spacecraft, and created the Livengood Laboratory for the study of electronic and computer music. During the 1980s, he studied computer music at IRCAM, continued the activities of his laboratory, worked as a beta tester for hiperprysm, and composed pieces for his album File room. In 1993, he teamed up with Richard Pinhas to produce the Cyborg Sally album, recorded on the Tangram New Series label, and performed that same year in concert at the UK Electronica Festival in London. (Cyborg Sally, by the way, is the name given to the virtual-personality reflected by the vocoded voice of Norman Spinrad). Livengood's list of compositions includes music for film and theater as well as for live and recorded musical performances.
