Performance
Max Neuhaus received a B.M. (1961) and a M.M. (1962) from Manhattan School of Music. He performed as percussion soloist on concert tours throughout the U.S. with Pierre Boulez (1962-63) and with Karlheinz Stockhausen (1963-64). While an artist-in-residence at the University of Chicago during 1964-65, he presented two solo recitals in Carnegie Recital Hall in New York City. During 1965-66 he toured major European cities presenting fifteen solo recitals. In 1966 he began producing compositions in the form of mass-produced electronic circuits, the first of which was called Max-Feed, sold directly to the general public. The series of sound-oriented pieces presented here was produced in 1966-68. His most recent work is called Three Hours of Sound Construction, presented in 1968 in Carnegie Recital Hall. Mr. Neuhaus has been awarded fellowships by the Rockefeller Foundation, the Foundation for Contemporary Performing Arts, and the Martha Baird Rockefeller Fund for Music. Mr. Neuhaus resides in New York City.

*I use these pieces as frameworks of activities for myself (the existence of a framework eliminates many of the problems of production). Only one of them, American Can, was conceived for realization—or may be realized—by anyone other than myself.—M.N.
