Listen Later

Dimitri and Khalid resume their dive into the deep history of the synthesizer and electronic music, this time covering the late 1960s-early 1970s explosion of the Moog and Buchla synths into popular consciousness. Topics include:
More from Trevor Pinch’s “Analog Days”, sus acid test graduations, the faux-apocalyptic “Awareness Festival” held amid race riots at SF State, B-52 bombers turning into butterflies, the Diggers Commune and the sounds of space aliens, the Grateful Dead’s pivotal role in sound technology innovation, Moog’s coming out party at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, heckin’ Bernie Krause and the curious Scientologist swinger Paul Beaver selling Moogs in LA, UFO hunting around Mt. Shasta, George Harrison screwing over Bernie to make his shitty electronic album, the impact of Wendy Carlos’ seminal “Switched On Bach” album, the question of gender and the synthesizer, the labor anxieties triggered by “Switched On Bach” and the Moog, Suzanne Ciani’s long strange Buchla trip, synthesizing the sounds of corporate America throughout the 1970s, human-Buchla cathexis, the feminine approach to synthesis, and more.
