PIONEERS OF FORBIDDEN ELECTRONICS: BEBE & LOUIS BARRON
Bebe Barron, one of the original pioneers of the electronic frontier
, unplugs.
Bebe & Louis Barron go back to the Conestoga days of electronic music
when everything was DIY. They worked with John Cage and in 1957
composed the score for Forbidden Planet. At the time, they were
forbidden from submitting it for an Academy Award and they couldn't
even get a film credit as composers because electronic music and
instruments weren't recognized by the Academy. Louis died in 1989.
Bebe Barron just passed on April 20th. We were fortunate to
interview Bebe and Louis in the mid-1980s for our Totally Wired
series. We return to that interview on Echoes.
