Analog Slaps. West coast synthesis funk
Published on Nov 6, 2012 by Dmitri SFC
"You can tune a Serge ... But you can't tuna fish !"
For those that don't know, the West Coast reference is in regards to two approaches towards synthesis in the early days. Buchla and Serge in the West and Moog on the East. Buchla and Serge were originally explored as experimental sound generators and in many cases, extensions to tape based sound manipulation in musique concrete. Tonal music was not typically the focus. Moog in the East became more focused as a tool to be used in tonal based compositions, as a means to both duplicate existing acoustic instruments as well as experimental electronic sounds. Of course how you use each is up to you, but the origins of each was slightly different.
