| La Monte Young experimented with drrrroooooooonnnnnessss. He wrote compositions that were a sine wave. That's it. You wander around the room between the speakers. That's the only change you get. The Dream Syndicate stuff is apparently more interesting, but less electronic. Steve Reich did some wonderful tape pieces, using simultaneous tapes to explore his ideas about rhythmic phasing. You play two copies of the same tape on two tape machines. They go out of phase eventually. Wooshes ensue. Bruce Haack was a Moog childrens' music pioneer. The Electric Lucifer will fuck you up. Of course there is Wendy/Walter Carlos. Clockwork Orange, Switched-On Bach, Tron--but you probably know all of that already. Clara Rockmore is the first Virtuousa of the Theramin. Bob Moog's Big Briar sells videos of her. I recommend the one where she's hanging out with Moog, her son, her sister, and some other guy in her apartment in Manhattan giving a concert and discussing the history of electronic music. Hot stuff. |
