"Since 1982, Alvin Lucier has been devoting much of his time to composing works for traditional Western musical instruments. His orchestral work, ‘Crossings’, first performed by members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on the ‘New Music America Festival’ '82 in Chicago, was given its New York premiere by the Brooklyn Philharmonic in January, 1984; his ‘Serenade for Thirteen Winds and Pure Wave Oscillators’, commissioned by the Fromm Music Foundation, was first performed at the Aspen Music Festival in August, 1985; and his ‘Septet for Three Winds, Four Strings and Pure Wave Oscillator’ was composed for and performed on the inaugural concert of the ‘New World Consort’ at Wesleyan University on September 20, 1985" (zit. nach http://www.ocnmh.cz/biographies_lucier.htm).
