March 1st Show Playlist

Going back to the late 1950s, I featured “Kontakte” by Stockhausen. With sounds that are as novel today as they were then, “Kontakte” is one of the great pieces in electronic music history. I paired that with a “recent” electronic work by Xenakis, entitled “S.709”. With some newer electronic work, this featured a spattering of where electronic music was and where it is heading.
