clubmaster Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 “When the electronic composer Morton Subotnick released Silver Apples of the Moon, he seemed to be exploring a limitless world.†—The New York Times Electronic music legend Morton Subotnick performs his seminal work Silver Apples of the Moon (1967), the first album of all-electronic music featuring exotic timbres and dance-inspiring rhythms. Subotnick performs this piece accompanied by his frequent collaborator, video artist Lillevan, along with another groundbreaking work, A Sky of Cloudless SulphurIV (1977), a playful piece made with a mix of Buchla synthesizers and tape recorders. More than a generation ago Subotnick helped to create a new music genre, one that still resonates with contemporary audiences. Seeming simultaneously composed and spontaneously improvised, this immersive performance wraps audiences in a sonic swell of surprising distortions, energetic rhythms and moving meditations.
