#3891: Electronic Music Looking Back
Hear music by London-based Floating Points, aka Sam Shepherd, who layers synth lines, pulses, shakers and his singing voice in overlapping repeating rhythms on a 12” B side from his 2016 EP, KUIPER. Then, listen to proto-techno music mixed with systems music from the Belgian band Aksak Maboul, released back in 1977, Onze danses pour combattre la migraine, or "11 dances for fighting migraines."
Also, there’s music by Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith written on a Buchla Music Easel synthesizer, inspired by Euclidean geometry, mbira music, and early electronic music pioneers like Suzanne Ciani, Laurie Spiegel, and Terry Riley. Plus, hear synthesizer music with shades of Balinese gamelan and arresting tunings by Wendy Carlos, from her haunting "world music" album, Beauty in the Beast.
