thats my favorite buchla record.. well of those I've heard.
ReplyDeletescary stuff... good for halloween.
One of the most viscerally charged all-electronic compositions ever made. Shows to go you, with only a couple cabinets of Buchla 100 & a couple 2-track tape decks Mr. Subotnick was able to create a work of music that was mind-bogglingly symphonic in scope.
ReplyDeleteI think it's worth noting the difference in the type, rather than the quality of the sounds on The Wild Bull/Silver Apples when compared to later works e.g. SOCS, Until Spring. The difference in methods of control over gates between the two systems (100 & 200 that is) makes for two distinct types of Subotnick, but not of course, the only two types.
ReplyDeleteIMHO of course
"His synthesizers didn't have real keyboards, they were made for producing electronic sounds, not melodies."
ReplyDeleteouch.
s/b:
His synthesizers didn't have incrementally prescaled equal tempered keyboards, instead a series of touchplates in which the output of each key could be scaled to any voltage, each with it's own gate output - so they could be used not only for producing melody, but to control other parameters and easily adapted to just trigger multiple independent events.
