To me, as both a composer of contemporary music and producer of film and videos, the advance of digital computer technology is an enormous enrichment of creativity. This I think is very distinct, especially in my work “Sonata per Guitarra Electrica Preparata No. I”. Here, computer technology allows to merge different media, such as music, dance, fine arts, video and film and thus achieve a common synthesis. (Gerhard Pakesch)
