Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Subotnick's 1967 album 'Silver Apples of the Moon' was the first electronic composition commissioned by a record label (Nonesuch), not a university or grant.
The documentary reveals how Subotnick's Buchla synthesizer, with its 'organic' randomization, embodied 1960s counterculture values against the Moog's more 'controlled' corporate-friendly design.
