I'm proud to announce the first international symposium on the Bohlen-Pierce
scale. This scale was discovered independently by Heinz Bohlen, Kees van
Prooijen and John Pierce in the 1970's and 80's and has some "lucky"
properties making this scale increasingly interesting to composers,
theorists, mathematicians, cognitive psychologists and instrument makers
alike. Recently, a Bohlen-Pierce clarinet was constructed in Canada by
Stephen Fox, for which a growing body of compositions is being written.
There are five professional clarinetists in Canada, Germany and the USA
regularly performing on this instrument. Other acoustic Bohlen-Pierce
instruments include recorder, guitar, pan flute, metallophone and a
non-standard string instrument called the Stredici built by Toronto
architect David Lieberman.
The participants of the symposium include the finest representatives in the
field of computer music and microtonality, Max Mathews, Curtis Roads,
Clarence Barlow, Richard Boulanger, Larry Polansky, Manfred Stahnke, Paul
Erlich among them, as well as Heinz Bohlen himself.
There will be lectures, presentations and concerts on three days in four
locations at Northeastern University, New England Conservatory, Berklee
College of Music and Goethe Institute.
