- skinpop 4y agolove his early Buchla stuff.
- polynomial 4y agoPlease don't lick the Buchla.
- polynomial 4y agoJust going by Wayback Machine, it looks like the site is essentially unchanged since at least 2007. It was first indexed in 1998, however I didn't go back as far as that.
- tootie 4y agoWell, it lists performances up to 2017 so someone was updating it to then. I saw him live earlier this year so it's seemingly been abandoned.
- nluken 4y agoI first learned about Mr. Subotnick in a class about the development of electronic music, among other titans of the 20th century avant-garde music. Many of these composers will never earn the widespread appreciation they are due for their accomplishments, but they left an indelible mark on music production, and serve as inspiration for a surprisingly wide breadth of artists.
- cal85 4y agoInterested to listen to more composers/musicians in this area. Could you recommend any?
- brudgers 4y agoMaybe The Classical Nerd YouTube channel? https://youtube.com/c/ClassicalNerd https://youtube.com/c/ClassicalNerd It covers more than the 20th century, but there are many hours of 20th century content.
- scrozier 4y agoSubotnick was one of my first introductions to experimental music, in a composition class in 1977, taught by Merill Ellis at the University of North Texas. Recently I met Morton briefly in NYC, where he was giving a performance of a new work. He's quite an old man now, but full of creative energy and immense good humor.
- lukasb 4y agoSaw him give a performance of old+new work about six months ago. Was pretty blown away. Great visuals (by a collaborator) as well.
- tomcam 4y agoSorry, but Kanye and the Beatles crapped out more creative sounds per album than Subotnick did his entire career. I tried to be impressed by him. I really did. My college electronic music grades would have been so much better if I were. Goodbye, sweet HN karma...
