"A concert on analog synthesizers featuring Alessandro Cortini from Nine Inch Nails, Buchla Modular Master Todd Barton, and Conservatory composer Robert Coburn.
This concert is a celebration of the opening of the Conservatory's new Analog-Digital Modular Studio, based around a Buchla analog modular synthesis system integrated with a digital system for audio processing and recording. This new facility offers students the opportunity to work with one of the most creative, hybrid technology music systems available today.
Analog modular synthesizers came into being in the late 1960s when Donald Buchla on the west coast and Robert Moog on the east coast developed their systems for composition and performance. Buchla and Moog synthesizers were the ultimate in analog creative systems until they were replaced by the new wave of digital technology. Analog systems experienced a re-birth in the 1990s and early 2000s and now provide unique creative alternatives to computer based systems. Based around the simple concept of voltage control and existing in the real world of knobs, switches, and sliders, analog systems embody a direct physicality in performance that is hard to accomplish with virtual systems."
