Otto Luening (1900–1996) is an early pioneer of electronic music. His Tape Music, including The Verse form around Rounds & Bells, Gargoyles for Violin & Synthesized Sound, and Sounds of New Music demonstrated the early potential of synthesizers and special editing techniques for so-called classical music. An October 28, 1953 concert with Vladimir Ussachevsky at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City introduced Fantasy in Space, flute recordings manipulated in magnetic tape, & led to an appearance on The Today Show with Dave Garroway. Luening was cofounder along by owning Ussachevsky of the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center in 1959.
