Something radically new--an extraordinary rarity in musical culture--it was an instrument that used a genuinely new source of sound: electronics. How this came to be--how an engineering student at Cornell and an avant-garde musician working out of a storefront in California set this revolution in motion--is the story told for the first time in Analog Days , a book that explores the invention of the synthesizer and its impact on popular culture. The authors take us back to the heady days of the 1960's and early 1970's, when the technology was analog, the synthesizer was an experimental instrument, and synthesizer concerts could and did turn into happenings. Interviews with the pioneers who determined what the synthesizer would be and how it would be used--from inventors Robert Moog and Don Buchla to musicians like Brian Eno, Pete Townshend, and Keith Emerson--recapture their visions of the future of electronic music and a new world of sound. Tracing the development of the Moog synthesizer from its initial conception to its ascension to stardom in Switched-On Bach , from its contribution to the San Francisco psychedelic sound, to its wholesale adoption by the worlds of film and advertising, Analog Days conveys the excitement, uncertainties, and unexpected consequences of a new technology that would provide the soundtrack for a critical chapter of our cultural history.Moog synthesizerSynthesizer (Musical instrument)Moog synthesizer.Synthesizer (Musical instrument)786.7419Pinch Trevor1952-2021.256177Trocco Frank1689501MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807738503321Analog days4159556UNINA
