The bulk of this series is press materials and programs for performances of Subotnick's works. The press materials are mostly interviews of Subotnick and his contemporaries that were featured in major publications such as Newsweek and the New York Times , or reviews of performances. Researchers are also advised to consult the Performance Files series for additional programs and reviews.
This series contains a variety of business papers that include correspondence, royalties statements, discographies, and press and cover proofs from the "Making Music" CD-ROM. Subotnick is married to vocal artist, writer, and composer Joan La Barbara, with whom he has collaborated for performances of his works. Several of La Barbara's articles for Musical America are in this series, as are photographs of her and Subotnick. Personal papers concerning real estate, miscellaneous expenses, and travel comprise the rest of the series.
