An Interview with Paul Bley on Astronauta Pinguim

"In the second half of the '60s, Paul Bley became interested in synthesizers, being one of the first to take a Moog Modular Synthesizer System onstage at the Phillarmonic Hall in New York, on December 26th 1969. His experiments with electronics and synthesizers led to the release of some great 'electronic improvising' albums, from 1969 to 1972, including 'Revenge: The Bigger The Love The Greater The Hate' (1971, credited to Bley-Peacock Synthesizer Show), 'Improvisie' (1971, credited to Paul Bley) and 'The Paul Bley Synthesizer Show' (1971, credited to The Paul Bley Synthesizer Show). It's amazing the experiments that Paul Bley and Annette Peacock made with electronics, passing her voice through the synthesizers on several tracks from this period! Paul Bley also used an ARP 2500 synthesizer during this time."
