Years ago, in college, I asked his publisher if I could obtain his address to let him know that someone in their 20s was listening to his music. Of course, as college goes, I got swamped with everything and never got around to it. His family was actually happy to provide it. He died a few months later. :(

Why? His music can be made by AI bots.

An early Columbia LP called "Strange to your ears", by Jim Fassett, also deals with this era of electronic music/sound and is on youtube.

The door squeak piece was ingenious! It sounds like a saxophone solo.

That was actually excerpts from "Variations for a Door and a Sigh" by Pierre Henry. It's a classic piece of musique concrète from 1960. The variations fill an entire LP. It's a shame this was not credited anywhere in this program. The whole thing is on KZfaq at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l66Xfr2Ys9rXdZ8.html.

Agreed. Precisely what it needs.

Really cool, I only wish it the audio was on both channels since I would have played this on WRIU's classical radio program which I do fill-ins for.

very easy to make mono. Download youtube audio then put in any number of programs to convert it to mono

This pretty much sums up electronic music , "we got a bunch of techniques for making weird noises, it's not music but maybe it could be one day if someone with actual talent ever turns up". 60 years later... still waiting.

Well there as been plenty, ... to say nothing of Wendy Carlos.... never heard of Switched On Bach?

Ripe for sampling into something modern.

@ReunionMana 3 жыл бұрын

It's funny because Babbitt is just about as modern as popular classical music gets.

This really feels like an early version of drum n bass music. If you listen to "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball" by Aphex Twins, pretty they sampled Milton Babbitt, tons of other examples.

Anyone know the piece in the introduction?

@messier81 Жыл бұрын

Yes, it's Study #2 by Mario Davidovsky. The same piece the dancer dances to later.

This isn't the best representation of electronic music. All of these examples have a lot of dissonance

@Boneless_Chuck Жыл бұрын

What is a better example?

@tango_doggy Жыл бұрын

@@Boneless_Chuck Of the same time period, the albums "Popular Electronics: Early Dutch Electronic Music 1956-1963", "The In Sound From Way Out!", "The Electric Eclectics Of Dick Hyman" and any of Delia Derbyshire's compositions are good. The examples in this video aren't bad, they're just a small section of the entire genre at the time

@@tango_doggy I see what you're saying. The term "electronic music" is pretty vast, even in one historical snapshot. I would call this experimental music by a gaggle of academic composers in the mid 20th century. Not necessarily "audience-driven" music, by any means.
