Roger Luke DuBois is a composer, programmer and video artist living in New York City. He holds a doctorate in music composition from Columbia University and teaches interactive sound and video performance at Columbia's Computer Music Center, New York University, and the School of Visual Arts. He has done interactive programming and music production work for many artists, most recently Toni Dove, Chris Mann, Elliott Sharp and Michael Gordon. DuBois's 'Billboard' is a composite of all the Billboard #1 Hits from 1958-2000. DuBois analyzed all 857 songs digitally, and created a 'spectral average' -- a sonic summation of all frequencies in the song -- for each one. He then allocated each song 1 second for each week it was #1 on the charts. The resultant 37-minute-long piece contains beautiful washes of sound -- and serves as a unique chronicling of the history of US pop charts, and the songs' continually-changing longevity, tonality and production. DuBois applies this theory to two other classics -- Bach's 'Well-Tempered Clavier,'(both books in 5 minutes) and the entire soundtrack of Casablanca."
