• Delbert Yeh: "Evolution"
• James McGowan: "Images"

• Peter Mika: "Dissociation" for saxophone quartet and tape

• no prizes awarded in this category

• no prizes awarded in this category

• Timothy Buell: "Qua la bella francheschina" for guitar and computer-processed sound
• Keith Hamel: "Land of Shades" for six singers and computer-synthesized tape
