"You all know about the Moog. But what about Don Buchla, the Californian synthesizer designer who's Buchla Series 100 was released mere months after Dr. Bob's first synth? His electronic music equipment company, Buchla & Associates, were commissioned by avantgarde composers Morton Subotnik and Ramon Sender to create something they could use in live performance - and since then he's been creating and designing a whole range of unusual electro-acoustic instruments and deeply desirable modular synths. That includes the intruiging Marimba Lumina, the classic 1970 200 Series Electric Music Box or indeed the hot little analogue cutie, 1972s Music Easel. Buchla's sonic toys combine a colourful aesthetic with supernatural sonic abilities. Genius alert!"Click here for the audio on RBMA Radio.
