Période

circa 1983

Canada

Part of a collection of electronic equipment for musical composition, performance and recording owned and used by Canadian Paul Hoffert, composer, musician, author, researcher, entrepreneur and arts administrator. American born, he came to Canada as a child and his career has encompassed many areas of the Canadian music business, including working as a jazz pianist, CBC music director and performer, educator, manufacturer of stereo equipment, music producer, and film composer. In the late 1960s he worked for a short time as a researcher in Hugh LeCaine's electronic music lab at NRC, where he wrote a computer program for music analysis and developed a solid-body electric violin. In 1968 Hoffert and rock drummer Skip Prokop, formed the very successful jazz-rock band Lighthouse (1969-1974, 1982, 1993-present), which earned one platinum record and four gold records and received three Juno awards between 1971 and 1973 In 1977 Hoffert received a Canadian Film Award (later known as a Genie) for best original musical score for the movie "Outrageous!". He also headed the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television, the Guild of Canadian Film and Television Composers,and the Ontario Council for the Art. In 1995 he was inducted into the Canadian Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2009 he was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada.

Fonction

An award given by the San Francisco International Film Festival for the musical score of a television show.

Technique

The Hoffert collection consists of approximately 25 pieces of electronic equipment for musical composition, performance and recording. These range from iconic keyboard instruments of the 1970s, to a variety of digital devices from the 1980s, to computer software from the early 1990s. These were used either for stage performances, especially during his years in the jazz rock band Lighthouse, or for work in his home studio. The awards and clothing provide valuable contextual support for the electronic objects in the Hoffert Collection. While the archival materials produced by Mr. Hoffert, including notebooks, business files, scores and recordings have been donated to York University, the awards provide evidence of Mr. Hoffert's career achievements. The Golden Gate Awards are presented by the San Francisco International Film Festival. In 1981 Paul Hoffert received a Golden Gate Award for the music score of 'Strawberry Ice', an ice-skating television program made by the CBC, directed and produced by Canadian David Acomba, starring Canadian skating champion and Olympic medalist Toller Cranston and Debbie Fleming {Refs. 3, 4).
