Does anyone know of any *new* music being made using the intuitive
potential of the Buchla "music box" synthesizer in an idm-style
environment? I really love those old records by Morton Subotnick (Touch,
Sidewinder, Silver Apples of the Moon) but his newer stuff is all MIDI
and digital (check out but avoid All My Hummingbirds Have Alibis) and IMO
his approach just doesn't work as well in that medium. What i like about
the Buchla (and what I would like to hear more of) is the potential to
program pieces that have no relation to conventional, Western 12-note tuning
systems. This approach would seem esp. appropriate to ambient music.
