Hello all-
Last week I was in NYC and visited a friend who isone of the librarians at
the Fales Library/Special Collection locatedinside the Bobst main library
at NYU.
After wowing me with uncountable first editions myfriend informed me that
they had just finished archiving the collectednotes and scores of the late
John Watts.
For anyone who may be doing research on Watts orrelated composers I would
suggest taking a visit to the library. Thearchived documents include:
€ His scores.
€ A short letter from Muhammed Ali.
€ His college papers.
€ Correspondence in alphabetical order,professional and personal.
€ Correspondence between Watts andeqpt. Manufacturers.
€ Equipment manuals including orginalARP 2500 & 2600 documentation.
€ Newspaper clipping from his events,his magazine interviews, pamphlets,
etc.
€ Various E-Music and music magazines.
€ Many, many, many audio and videorecordings (unprocessed).
∗∗Please note∗∗ that this is a researchlibrary--i.e. They will photocopy
selected pages for you but this is not the placeto go for a "free ARP
manual".
The library staff are friendly, professional, andquite familiar with their
collection. The Fales collection is far-rangingbut has a special focus on
the works of many "Downtown" NYCmedia-artists from the 70's and 80's.
