Thema (1958) was one of Berio's first uses of electronic techniques. Another work from the same period is Differences, which pits a small chamber ensemble against a taped version of the same piece. It is a John-Henry-Versus-steam-hammer kind of conflict, only here the sense of epic struggle is all but alone. The taped sounds weave in and out of the performance, giving it an almost antiphonal quality. The only real clash comes when the taped sounds are electronically altered, creating a sense of war between the media...
...plant, which could burn as much as 40,000,000 gallons of oil each year for the generation of electricity and the production of steam and the operation of the incinerator, would clearly be a source of serious air-pollution in the area: The operation of the plant would unavoidably result in the emission of substantial effluents and particulates, causing deterioration in the air quality in the vicinity of the plant and in the City of Boston...
There are viable alternatives to the plant which would assure the MASCO institutions of a reliable supply of steam and chilled water. Any suggestion that the proposed plant is necessary to assure the MASCO institutions of a reliable supply of electricity is absolutely untrue. Edison is presently supplying and has for many years supplied substantially all the electric requirements of the MASCO institutions on a highly reliable basis. In fact, over many years Edison's record of reliability has been 99.99 per cent. If they continue to purchase their electricity from Edison, Edison is ready, willing and able to continue...
...inconceivable that in 1975 in New England, anyone would seriously propose that an electric-generating and steam power plant such as the proposed MASCO plant--a major industrial facility which would burn millions of gallons of oil each year, being completely dependent on fuel oil for the generation of electricity over the 40-year life of the plant and having no provision for the use of any other fuel--should be constructed on Brookline Avenue in the middle of a group of some of the finest hospitals in the world to supply electricity to those hospitals. The construction of such...
John J. Murphy, assistant steam sales manager of Boston Edison, asked several questions about possible discrepancies in the draft environmental report's tabulation of total environmental pollution to be caused by the plant...
