AMM (group) AMM is a British free improvisation group that was founded in London, England in 1965.
The group was initially composed of Keith Rowe on guitar, Lou Gare on saxophone and Eddie Prévost on drums. The three men shared a common interest in exploring music beyond the boundaries of conventional jazz, as part of a larger movement that helped spawn European free jazz and free improvisation. AMM have never been well known to the general public, but have been influential on the field of improvised music.

It is our perception of what is important now that guides our search for historical roots. We note something special and we ask: How did it develop? So what is important now? David Tudor. David Eugene Tudor (January 20, 1926 – August 13, 1996) was an American pianist and composer of experimental music.
Life and career[edit] The composer with whom Tudor is particularly associated is John Cage. He gave the premiere of Cage's Music of Changes, Concerto For Piano and Orchestra and the notorious 4' 33". Cage said that many of his pieces were written either specifically for Tudor to perform or with him in mind, once stating "what you had to do was to make a situation that would interest him. That was the role he played.”[1] The two worked closely together on many of Cage's pieces, both works for piano and electronic pieces, including for the Smithsonian Folkways album: Indeterminacy: New Aspect of Form in Instrumental and Electronic Music (1992).
After a stint teaching at Darmstadt from 1956 to 1961, Tudor began to wind up his activities as a pianist to concentrate on composing. Tudor died in Tomkins Cove, New York at the age of 70.

David Tudor recordings collected and released as box set. David Tudor's output from 1963 through to 1992 has been collected and is being released as a seven disc set on New World records.
The box set covers Tudor's transition from pianist to composer, and further into his electronic compositions before his death in 1996. New World's Paul Tai says: "What prompted us to consider this was the tremendous reception his pieces got when Music For Merce was released a couple of years ago. Six of those works were issued in excerpted from so we decided to issue them in complete form and build the set around them. It’s really the first comprehensive overview of his work as an electronic music composer.

Reed Ghazala. Qubais Reed Ghazala, an American author, photographer, composer, musician and experimental instrument builder, is recognized as the "father of circuit bending," having discovered the technique in 1966, pioneered it, named it, and taught it ever since.
He has built experimental instruments for many prominent musicians and media companies including Tom Waits, Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, The Rolling Stones, and MTV, among others. Ghazala's work has been covered globally in the press and can be found being taught world-wide. Ghazala's work is held in various galleries internationally.
His influence upon creative electronic design is global, having originated the planet's first "grassroots electronic art movement. " Reed Ghazala’s Incantors and his Video Octavox. Reed Ghazala From the book & CD package Gravikords, Whirlies & Pyrophones comes this image of Reed Ghazala‘s Video Octavox. It’s sitting, in this photo, on top of an old-fashioned television set. At the end of each of the eight droopy coiled-wire arms is a light-sensor provided with a suction cup. The sensor can be attached anywhere on the surface of a TV screen. As the TV plays, the varying signals from the 8 sensors serve to modulate eight synthesizer voices, generating a sound track for whatever shows on the screen.
