Morton Subotnick - Silver Apples of the Sun Revisited [excerpt, part 2]
Once more, Burn Down the Capital's Tad Michalak crosswired a couple of his curatorial endeavours, bringing together the Intersection festival and the Music Gallery's Departures series to make it possible to host an esteemed visiting musician — in this case pioneering electronic musician Morton Subotnick. His Buchla-driven compositions must have been quite mind-blowing in 1967, as they now sound entirely contemporary, with subsequent generations of synth explorers expanding on the possibilities he introduced. This set saw him playing a redux version of his seminal "Silver Apples of the Moon", live mixed in quadraphonic sound, which he used with admirable restraint, slowly shifting and expanding the soundfield.
