<<Peter and me between us listen to Parmiagiani, LOTS of Stockhausen,
Schaffer,Dockstader, one or two John Cage pieces, *Yoko ONO*, Joe
Meek,Raymond Scott and Louis and Bebe Barron.....>>
Since y'all were just talking about video game music, I should put in at
this point that the double disc compilation (+booklet) of Raymond Scott's
works--"Manhattan Research Inc"--has lots of *old* school synthesizer
ditties that range from voice clips to bizarre commercial jingles... It's
almost like Bodenstandig 2000/Lektrogirl forty years ago. And if you
thought TV ads commandeering underground electronic music is anything new,
this has some TV ad sound bytes from back in the 1960s that are weird
synthesizer fuckery along with your classic 50s-style prim male announcer
talking about how every good space man and space woman eats Hostess'
Twinkies... It's not the least bit academic (a la Stockhausen et al)-- but
it's a fun little snatch of another side of electronic music's earlier days.
Fun little snatch. I appreciate it as an electro/pop fan.
Oh, and Yoko Ono is of course necessary for all you into the whole guttural
screeching genre (GSDM).
And remember: (Similarity V Appreciation) != Influence
