Born in 1945, Jack Briece was an American composer, organist and pianist, video artist, educator, and author, whose creative output was original and inventive. Most of this collection contains Briece’s diary, written on index cards and documenting his personal study of astrology, planetary movements, and the I-Ching, which informed every aspect of his life and inspired much of his output as an artist. However, of particular interest are the music series and the records surrounding Briece’s travels in Finland. The music materials demonstrate Briece’s use and personal development of conventional as well as modern and experimental orchestration techniques. The materials related to Finland represent a particularly active and creative time for the composer, his involvement with the newly developing videotape medium, and the culmination of much of his work up until his untimely death in 1988. less
