OSCILLATORS AND SYNTHESIZERS, LADIES AND PIONEERS..
TERESA RAMPAZZI - Quasi un Haiku (1987) - ABSTRACT
Teresa Rampazzi (1914-2001). A pioneer (in the purest and most idealistic sense of the term) of Electronic Music, she started as a pianist dedicating herself to Contemporary and Concrete music. Struck by the theories of John Cage, she moved to electroacoustic performances as dictated by him. She founded the NPS Group, which expressed Electronics with the equipment available at the time, solely analog. She dedicated herself to digital music later in life and to teaching until her retirement in a senior residence where, nonetheless, she furnished her room with oscillators, four-track Revox recorders, and small digital keyboards. The photo speaks for itself—I’d say an electronic grandmother, wouldn’t you?
