| perera studied composition with leon kirchner at harvard and electronic music with gottfried michael koenig at the university of utrecht. he also worked independently with randall thompson in choral music and with mario davidovsky in electronic music.
ronald perera has received awards and fellowships from the national endowment for the arts, ascap, the national association of teachers of singing, the artists foundation of massachusetts, harvard university, the macdowell colony, the paderewski fund, the bogliasco foundation, and meet the composer. in 1975 he co-edited the development and practice of electronic music for prentice-hall. his music is published by e.c. schirmer, boosey and hawkes, music associates of new york and pear tree press music publishers. it is recorded principally on the albany, cri and opus one labels.
alternate routes was composed as the score for a dance work, growing out of the tension between two materials, one dense and percussive, the other transparently fragile. these alternate throughout in taking the predominant role. the work is made up entirely of electronic sounds produced on a moog synthesizer.
"i conceived of all the sounds as having kinetic properties: wild spins and runs versus infinitely delicate and subtle departures from complete stillness." — ronald perera |
