Models & Artifice: The Collected Writings of Tristan Murail

by Tristan Murail, Joshua Fineberg (Editor), Pierre Michel (Editor)

This issue of Contemporary Music Review presents the complete writings and published conferences of Tristan Murail gathered in one place and translated into English. It is based on a French collection of Tristan Murail’s writings that was published in 2004 and edited by one of us (Pierre Michel). We extend our gratitude to the Presses Universitaires de Strasbourg and to Contemporary Music Review for allowing us to make this collection available to an English-speaking audience. We also thank the Columbia University and Harvard University graduate students (Joshua Cody, Robert Hasegawa and Aaron Berkowitz) who translated most of the articles from French: their help was essential! As with the French edition, the aid and impetus of Tristan Murail was critical to the completion of this volume.
The entire text of the French edition, including the Introduction and Acknowledgements, has been translated and included.
