{"value"=>"<p>The Subject Files document topics or events such as compositions, installations, performances, collaborations, people, recordings, and other projects. The files contain correspondence; technical notes; music analyses; program notes; contracts; writings and lectures; interview and lecture transcripts; an engagement file holding programs, clippings, and other information; databases of concerts and reviews; Lucier's curricula vitae; and awards. Some subject files also have photographs.</p> <p>Two of the largest components of the subject files document the books <span class=\"title\">Chambers: Scores by Alvin Lucier</span> and <span class=\"title\">Music 109: Notes on Experimental Music</span>, both of which contain multiple drafts, interview transcripts, or class transcripts. The files for <span class=\"title\">Chambers</span> consist primarily of raw and edited transcripts of Lucier's conversations with Douglas Simon that formed the bulk of the book. Also present are transcripts of interviews and conversations between Lucier and John Cage, William Duckworth, and James Tenney; correspondence and other notes regarding the Sonic Arts Union; special projects such as <span class=\"title\">Solar Sounder I</span>; and files regarding Lucier's careers at Brandeis and Wesleyan Universities. The latter document courses he taught there, the 1994 <span class=\"title\">Collaborations</span> festival of his work, and his retirement celebration.</p> <p>The folders on the Sonic Arts Union contain primarily correspondence regarding performances and tours, as well as letters from the composers Gordon Mumma and Robert Ashley. The files on John Cage, Pauline Oliveros, Morton Feldman, La Monte Young, and Robert Wilson hold correspondence, notes, programs, and, in some cases, Lucier's essays on them.</p> <p>Information about some people, compositions, or events can also be found in the correspondence files in Series V: Personal Files.</p>"}
