More Details

Summary:

"As part of the effort to preserve the music of Don Voegeli, we bring you this sampling of some of the many electronic music compositions he created from 1972 until 1980. Most of these pieces are from 1972-1974, soon after the "birth" of electronic music using commercial synthesizers. These pieces were distributed to public radio and television stations on records (LPs). They were for use as themes, backgrounds or extended musical interludes, with the advantage that stations did not have to pay expensive copyright fees, as was necessary with commercial music"--Container.

"Digital preservation project"--Container.
"Don [Voegeli] created these electronic pieces using early Putney and Moog synthesizers that required him to record every note separately on its own track as you could not simultaneously record two notes or a chord. Thus, creating these pieces required painstaking work, layering the notes together on a multi-track tape machine"--Container.
