Title: The Beginnings of Electronic Music in Japan, with a Focus on the NHK Studio: The 1970s
Abstract: This article continues the account begun in the previous issue, which examined electronic music in Japan in the 1950s and 1960s (Loubet 1997). As with the previous article, the historical information here derives primarily from interviews I conducted, in many sessions over the period between 1986 and 1995, with the distinguished composers Toshiro Mayuzumi, Makoto Moroi, Minao Shibata, Toshi Ichiyanagi, Yori-Aki Matsudaira, Joji Yuasa, Katsuhiro Tsubono, Yuji Takahashi, Takehisa Kosugi, Mieko Shiomi, Shiuko Mizuno, Keiki Okasaka, Isao Tomita, Michiharu Matsunaga, and Satoshi Sumitani; as well as with former sound engineers at Nippon Hoso Kyokai (NHK), the national radio and television network of Japan: Hiroshi Shiotani, Yoshinori Ando, and Shigeru Sato; and, finally, with the former director of the electronic music studio at NHK, Wataru Uenami. The information from the interviews was supplemented by the documents listed in the References list, among others. [A more complete bibliography will be found in issue 22(2).-Ed.]
