Emmanuel Ghent 1925 2003 was a pioneering composer of electronic music and a psychiatric practitioner, researcher, and teacher. Biography Emmanuel Ghent was born on May 15, 1925 in Montreal, Quebec . He grew up in Montreal and attended McGill University to study medicine. After graduating, he moved to New York to continue his psychiatric training. He remained there all his life, practicing in New York and eventually becoming a clinical professor of psychology at the postdoctoral program in psychoanalysis at New York University . Throughout his life, Ghent worked to expand his field of psychoanalysis beyond psychiatric practitioners. Ghent was also an amateur oboe oboist and composer of electronic music . In the 1960s, Ghent pioneered the concept of electronic music by adapting a computer system, initially designed to synthesize the human voice, to instead synthesize music. With the advent of more sophisticated computer systems in the 1970s, Ghent was able to synchronize the lighting of the theater with the synthesized music. Ghent could thus create music that combined music, dance and light patterns. In fact, several of his most famous musical composition compositions used this idea, most notably Phosphones and Five Brass Voices for Computer Generated Tape. Ghent wrote non electronic music too, including Entelechy for Viola and Piano and 25 Songs for Children and All Their Friends written to commemorate the birth of Ghent s third daughter, Theresa Ghent Locklear . Emmanuel Ghent died on March 31, 2003.
