Rando's Poetic License
Dennis Bathory-Kitsz
About this work: One of the first pieces to use an out-of-the-box microcomputer with audience interaction, Rando used the "jophxo" poetry-generated program written by the composer along with audience whispers and electronic sounds. It was premiered at the Washington (DC) Project for the Arts in 1978.
