Berlin (Germany), 1918 - Urbana, Illinois (USA), 2000


From 1936 to 1948 he lived in Palestine, where he studied composition with Stefan Wolpe, Eli Friedman, and Frank Pelleg. From 1955 to 1961 he pursued research in electro-acoustic composition in Paris, Cologne, and Munich. In 1962 Brün was invited by computer-music pioneer Lejaren Hiller to join the faculty of the University of Illinois, where he continued his work in electronic music and began research on the use of computers in composition, both musical and visual. In addition to a large body of music for traditional instruments, tape and instruments, tape alone, and computer-generated graphics for diverse interpreters, Brün produced several volumes of essays and aphorisms dealing with the social and political significance of composition and language. When Music Resists Meaning, a collection of his major writings edited by Arun Chandra, was published by Wesleyan University Press in 2004.
