Paul Lansky (New York, 1944) is a pioneer of computer music.
As If (1982) for string trio and computer-synthesised sound seems a manifesto meant to deliberately contradict every assumption taken for granted by western classical music.
His specialty is to employ
the computer as an instrument to explore the universe of the human voice:
Smalltalk (1988), released on
Smalltalk (New Albion, 1990) with Not So Heavy Metal (1989),
the pieces of More Than Idle Chatter (Bridge, 1994), such as

the Conversation Pieces (Bridge, 1998), and
Alphabet Book (Bridge, 2002).
Homebrew (Bridge, 1992) contains concrete music such as
Night Traffic (1990), a digital manipulation of the sounds of traffic;
The Sound of Two Hands (1990) and
Now and Then (1991).
Fantasies and Tableaux (CRI, 1994) contains
the electronic poems Six Fantasies on a Poem by Thomas Campion (1979)
and Still Time (1994).
Folk Images (Bridge, 1995)
Ride (Bridge, 2001) contains the computer piece Ride (2000),
the electronic poem Looking Back (1996), and
