Morton Subotnick – Silver Apples Of The Moon

This was the first piece of electronic music that really made an impact on me, other than Switched-On Bach. I think it has aged very well. I still have the original album and play it. Makes me want to bump the Buchla Easel up my short list of Arturia synths to learn.

All of you are wrong (of course). Morton Subotnick played 5th Base for the Green Sox

I have no idea what any of you idiots are rambling on about. What this record actually was, was the first commercially COMMISSIONED piece of electronic music.

In 1957 these two women were making soundtracks for the BBC.

I think Raymond Scott is the first electronic composer....
