Kenneth Gaburo

His notable students include Louise Spizizen, James Tenney, Betty Ann Wong, and Allen Strange.

He is renowned as a teacher, pioneer of electronics in music, jazz pianist, writer, ecologist, publisher, and proponent of compositional linguistics.

In 1968, he joined the faculty at the new San Diego campus of the University of California where in 1972 a Rockefeller Foundation grant enabled him to start NMCE IV, this time with an actor, a virtuoso speaker, a mime, a gymnast, and a sound-movement artist.

[citation needed] In 1975, Gaburo founded Lingua Press, which produces scores, books, records, audio tapes, videotapes, and films.

[citation needed] The studio put intensive focus on composition, technology, psycho-acoustic perception, performance, and the affirmation of the uniqueness of the individual to create his/her own language reality.
