flickr by solsken "Here's what I'm listening to today... After undergoing a sex change operation in 1972, Walter Carlos is now known as Wendy Carlos. She's probably best known for scoring films like Clockwork Orange and Tron, and was great buddies with Bob Moog -- she even helped to develop Moog's technology through early adoption and feedback of his synths. She also photographs solar eclipses. Pretty...

On my lunch hour today, I watched a documentary called Moog, about the synthesizer and its inventor, Dr. Robert Moog. It's not really a biography, either of Moog or the synthesizer itself—it's more of an exploration of where the synthesizer came from and how it's been used since its invention. As a boy, Moog became obsessed [...]

Before 1968, when a new version of a piece of classical, and specifically baroque, music was produced, it often happened in the same way. Example: A) Take a piece of baroque music, written for the harpsichord, transcribe it for string quartet, woodwind sextet, small string chamber orchestra.... B) Record, and release album with copious notes on how you came to make what decisions, in which instrument...

This innovative duo of Björk accomplices returns to its core of pure electronic music here, eschewing the idiosyncratic sound sources of earlier works (amplified semen, anyone?) in favour of a battery of Moogs, Arps, Korgs and even Radio France's massive Coupigny modular synth, once used by the likes of Boulez and Stockhausen to sculpt musique concrète.
