Thank you so much for posting this wonderful documentary! It was Babbitt's "Ensembles for Synthesizer" that piqued my interest in electronic music 25 years ago!

Zappa wasn't a Babbitt fan because he didn't much like the postwar academic serial totalists, but damn if Babbitt isn't talking about electronically sequenced music in the same way that Zappa extolled the Synclavier. Control of time.

As I recall, Babbitt once said "my music was hard to write so it should be hard to listen to". It certainly is hard to listen to.

Wondering where this video is from. I'd like to use it as an archive source for a paper but wold rather find it from a scholarly source. Any help?

Conlon Nancarrow fulfilled what Babbitt wrote about in his infamous Hi-Fidelity magazine article "Who Cares if You Listen".

Nancarrow's custom-built piano roll cutting lathe is just the low-tech version of Babbitt's computer punched tape.
