One Week Left for Buchla Documentary Fundraising

Ron Buchla is as important to the world of synthesizers as Bob Moog.   Buchla brought us his first synthesizers at the same time as Moog back in 1963.  He is one of the greatest synth pioneers and along with Bob Moog is considered one of the two fathers of modern day synthesis.  His creations brought us a world of sound exploration not limited by the focus of creating tonal music.   He initially shied away from the use of keyboards for that reason.   His implementation of keys were touchplate controllers used to trigger and morph sounds over time.  When many of us think about the art of synthesis we think about discovering sounds never heard before and getting lost in sonic exploration.  His approach to synthesis broke tonal barriers and freed us to do so.  Don Buchla's work was a direct descendant of the tape machines used in Musique Concrete. This documentary will celebrate the father of electronic sound exploration and design.
