"The title for my lecture is: G.M. Koenig's 'Terminus' as a point of  
departure.
Koenig composed Terminus in 1962. It was his last composition to be  
produced in the studio of the Cologne radio. The title refers to the  
fact that Koenig saw no further possibilities for sound composition  
within the given technical situation. For me however, discovering the  
compositional strategies chosen for Terminus created a new  
perspective on the formal aspects of electronic music composition.  
Terminus has been one of the most influential pieces of music for  
everything I composed since 1996.
In my lecture I will discuss some pieces made between 1996 and 2006  
with many music examples. I would like to end the lecture with one  
complete work: Lasciar Vibrare v.5 of 34 minutes."

Kees Tazelaar (July 27, 1962) was taught at the Institute of Sonology  
from 1981 to 1983 (Utrecht) and from 1987 to 1989 (The Hague). He  
subsequently studied composition with Jan Boerman at the Royal  
Conservatory in The Hague, graduating in 1993. Since then Tazelaar  
has been teaching at the Institute of Sonology. He is head of  
Sonology since June 2006.
His output as a composer consists entirely of electronic music on  
multi channel tape. In addition to his autonomous works, he has  
contributed to music theatre projects by Dick Raaijmakers (Die  
glÃckliche Hand geÃffnet, Scheuer im Haag) and Theatergroep  
Hollandia (Perzen, Varkensstal).
In recent years he has also been occupied intensively in the  
restoration and reconstruction of major electronic works from the  
past. In his specially equipped studio new versions have been made of  
compositions by Gottfried Michael Koenig (Klangfiguren II, Essay,  
Terminus), Jan Boerman (Kompositie 1972, RuÃne), Edgard VarÃse  
(PoÃme Ãlectronique), Iannis Xenakis (Concret P-H), GyÃrgy Ligeti  
(PiÃce Ãlectronique no.3, Artikulation), Luctor Ponse (Concerto voor  
Piano en Band).
During the winter semester of 2005-2006, Kees Tazelaar filled the  
Edgard VarÃse guest professorship at the Technical University of Berlin
