Draft:Jon Forshee

Submission declined on 23 June 2024 by Liance (talk).

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

Jon Forshee is an American composer, teacher, writer, editor, curator, and performer.

Compositions

Forshee’s compositions are for acoustic instruments (solo, chamber, and orchestral), voice, computer and electronic sound, as well as audio-visual media, a chamber opera, and a semi-improvised outdoor site-specific work.^[1]

Writing and Editing

Forshee’s publications have focused on music, ideas, and technology of Benjamin Boretz, J.K. Randall, Robert Morris, Roger Reynolds, and Trevor Wishart, specifically Wishart’s Soundloom interface, which allows the user to run C-programs for transforming sounds from a graphic interface written in TK/Tcl, hiding the mechanics of the process.^[2]
