[sdiy] Essential listening?

[Henry Till]

In discussing early electronic / experimental
electronic music, it is probably worth making the
distinction between composers who work with
synthesized sound (stockhausen + wdr, some parmegiani,
babbit, ussachevsky, some nono, some xenakis) and
those who were using concrete/recorded sounds
(schaeffer, henry, some parmegiani, ferrari, etc.).  I
would venture a guess that for the sake of this
(synth-related) discussion, the composers using
synthesized sound are more important than the concrete
ones.   

also:
Stockhausen: Kontakte
Pauline Oliveros: Alien Bog, Beautiful Soop (Buchla
100) / Electronic Works CD 
Parmegiani: La Creation Du Monde 

there is so much more...

check out the Ohm: Early Gurus of Electronic Music 
compilation from emf.org for more important stuff.
