On January 14, 2011, Caltech hosted TEDxCaltech, an exciting one-day
event to honor Richard Feynman, Nobel Laureate, Caltech physics
professor, iconoclast, visionary, and all-around "curious character."
Lyle Mays and friends explore music based on physics equations,
Feynman's speech patterns and more, using improvisation, algorithmic
composition, live video mixing, and a custom designed linked laptop
network.
Short brief about Lyle Mays:
Lyle Mays has been an integral part of the Pat Metheny Group since its
inception in 1977, and has co-written much of the consistently engaging
music for the multi-Grammy-winning group's albums. Lyle's sense of
melody, crystal clear virtuosity and almost cinematic scope of
orchestration has clearly distinguished the group's sound. Born into a
musical family in Wausaukee, Wisconsin, in 1953, he was always
encouraged to explore new forms of expression. As a teenager, Lyle
attended jazz summer camps and studied with such talents as Rich
Matteson and Marian McPartland. He then studied composition and
arrangement at North Texas State University before touring with Woody
Herman's Thundering Herd. While appearing at the 1975 Wichita Jazz
Festival, Lyle met twenty-year-old guitarist Pat Metheny, and the two
formed a musical alliance that has proven to be among the most
artistically successful of the past three-plus decades.
