My Podcast: The Holmes Archive of Electronic Music
My blog for the Bob Moog Foundation.
This special edition podcast is produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. This episode corresponds to a chapter in the text. It provides listening examples of vintage electronic works and composers featured in the text.
The works themselves can be enjoyed without the book and I hope that they stand as a chronological survey of important works in the history of electronic music. Be sure to tune-in to other episodes of the podcast where we explore a wide range of electronic music in many styles and genres, all drawn from my archive of vintage recordings.
The episode I just uploaded corresponds to Chapter 31, ARP Analog Synthesizers from my book, Electronic and Experimental Music. Please connect to the podcast at The Holmes Archive of Electronic Music. Enjoy!
