mainThe New York electronics composer Noah Creshevsky died on December 3 of an unknown cause.
After studies with Nadia Boulanger and Luciano Berio, he spent the whole of his life in the city, inventing a sound world that he defined as ‘hyperrealist’.
He taught at Brooklyn College of City University and was firector of its Center for Computer Music.
A teacher, mentor, and colleague of mine, Noah was gentle, funny, generous, warm-hearted, and supportive of the musical endeavors of his friends and colleagues. His music is like him: witty, clear, unique. I was lucky to have him as a friend for over 40 years. RIP
What does “hyperrealist” mean?
Exactly my question. I’ve never heard the term applied to music before.
