Tape Leaders A Compendium Of Early British Electronic Music Composers

via Tape Leaders

"A Compendium Of Early British Electronic Music Composers.Published 16th June, 2016.

In the form of a richly illustrated compendium, Tape Leaders is an indispensable reference guide for anyone interested in electronic sound and its origins in Great Britain. For the first time a book sets out information on practically everyone active with experimental electronics and tape recording across the country, revealing the hidden history of early British electronic music.

With an individual entry for each composer, starting with Daevid Allen and going through to Peter Zinovieff, it covers everyone from the famous names of William Burroughs, Brian Eno and Joe Meek, to the ultra-obscure Roy Cooper, Donald Henshilwood and Edgar Vetter. There are sections for EMS and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, as well as amateurs, groups and ensembles that seriously experimented with electronics, including the Beatles, Hawkwind and White Noise.

Author Ian Helliwell draws on his experience and knowledge of electronic music, and after six years and dozens of interviews, has
amassed information never before brought to light in this fascinating subject. With a specially compiled 15-track CD of mainly unreleased early British tape and synthesizer works, this is an essential volume for anyone with an interest in the history of electronic music during the 1950s and 60s.
There is also an ebook version with electronic music extracts, to highlight the work of 25 of the featured composers.

050717 modular improv - dark dub?

Published on Jul 7, 2017 0ekkeekke0

"I have had problems with finding out what to do with Clouds. So I took some time and experimented it. I played a large string with bow and freezed the sound and tried all kinds of things what I could do with this sample. After some manual tweaking I added some modulation sources and was quite happy with the result. This is the result in the very beginning and it plays throughout the jam but later some other sounds can make it more difficult to identify. Other sounds are just some bass drone from Erica Synths Varishape through polivoks filter, Fast DPO fm percussive sounds, envelope from function and Hang input of that function is controlled by ADDAC complex random expander triggers.. BD is tiptop BD 808. Some additional noise from Benjolin.."
