Chapters 6-10, Electronic and Experimental Music, listening guides

My Book/eBook: Electronic and Experimental Music, sixth edition, Routledge 2020.

My Podcast: The Holmes Archive of Electronic Music

My blog for the Bob Moog Foundation.

Original music by Thom Holmes can be found in iTunes and on Bandcamp.

These special podcasts are produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. Each episode corresponds to a chapter in the text and an associated list of recommended works, also called Listen in the text. They provide listening examples of vintage electronic works featured in the text.

The works themselves can be enjoyed without the book and I hope that they stand as a chronological survey of important works in the history of electronic music. Be sure to tune-in to other episodes of the podcast where we explore a wide range of electronic music in many styles and genres, all drawn from my archive of vintage recordings.

I have just launched episodes for the following chapters:

Episode 144: Chapter 06, Analog and Digital Synthesis Basics, Part 1

Episode 145: Chapter 06, Analog and Digital Synthesis Basics, Part 2

Episode 146: Chapter 07, Computer Music Basics
