1 lugl 1967 anni - Morton Subotnick - Silver Apples of the Moon

Descrizione:

The album is a showcase for the Buchla 100 synthesizer, an early analogue synthesizer that the composer helped develop, it was the first piece of electronic music commissioned by a record company. Part I" features slow, calm passages and experimentation in tone and "Part II" features pulse and sequenced rhythms. Upon release, Silver Apples of the Moon became a surprise success, selling well in the classical music category, and received critical acclaim. The record has since gone on to be considered a milestone in electronic music. The album's sequenced rhythms are credited with anticipating electronic dance music, and today the record is considered to be Subotnick's signature work.

Buchla tended to not refer to his instruments as synthesizers, as he felt that name gives the impression of imitating existing sounds/instruments. His intent was to make instruments that create new sounds. This goal is evident in the omission of a standard musical keyboard on his early instruments, which instead used a series of touch plates that were not necessarily tied to equal-tempered tuning.
