> The talk is about three enterprises of excellence that I have
> been intimately involved in. I describe my making the first
> geological map of the Cuillins mountains in Skye (1958), the
> problems of my early computers (1960’s) in electronic music
> contrasted to some present day experiments (2008), and the
> preparation of my libretto for “The Mask of Orpheus” (1984)  by
> Birtwistle.
>
> I show that these wildly different endeavours are not so
> dissimilar when it comes down to the nuts and bolts of their
> actual creation.
>
> The lecture of 40 minutes is accompanied by archive videos,
> sounds and slides, as well as a display of rocks, pictures and
> electronic objects.
>
>
> Peter Zinovieff is a pioneer of electronic and computer music.
> He is a British inventor of Russian ethnicity, most notable for
> his EMS company, which made the famous VCS3 synthesiser in the
> late '60s. The synthesiser was used by many early progressive
> rock bands such as Pink Floyd and White Noise, Krautrock groups
> like Kraftwerk as well as more pop oriented artists, a good
> example being David Bowie.
>
> Zinovieff also wrote the libretto for Harrison Birtwistle's opera
> The Mask of Orpheus.
