New Sounds in Electronic Music

various artists compilation - New Sounds in Electronic Music

Released sometime during the mid 1970s on LP

Less than twenty years have elapsed since the advent of electronic music. The early novelty of the medium has now worn off, and an entire generation has grown up with the sound of amplified guitars, reverb, tape delay and electronic synthesizers in its ears. Today, the number of electronic studios in the United States alone has grown to nearly one hundred, and the number of electronic compositions made all over the world, both "live" and "taped," is in the thousands. With so many composers now at work in the new medium, the question of whether one likes electronic music is giving way to that of which composers one prefers.
In this album, three works by three talented composers are presented for the first time. Written in the 1960s, each work bears the mark of an original musical personality of the new "electronic" generation. (liner notes)
