Gary,
Thanks.
I didn't know and I don't expect our journals will mention it.
In retrospect, I remembered his collaboration with Pierre Boulez, one of 
the european founding fathers of electronic music and although much of 
what is done in this field is not to my liking, this pioneering work 
advances the field of music and the work of prof. Mathews has been 
fundamental for a.o. the current limitless possibilities of recording 
and manipulation of musical sounds.
He will be remembered.
