[sdiy] Essential listening?

[Scott Stites]

Hi Charlie,

Two extremes:

(If you can find it) - brilliant Buchla lunacy:  Morton Subotnick "Silver
Apples of the Moon/The Wild Bull" - having built that Vactrol filter, you
might like listening to this.

Most beautiful orchestration (IMHO)- Isao Tomita "Snowflakes Are Dancing" -
absolutely breathtaking.

For DIY music, there is a plethora of good stuff out there - check out Ray
Wilson, JH, Tony Algood, Motohiko Takeda, Peter Grenader, Harry Bissell and
anybody else you see posting here, if they're putting out music.  The
*musical*  talent of people on this list never fails to blow me away.  It's
just not fair ....=-)

Cheers,
Scott
