If you've never heard of Bruce Haack, you should check this out. Bruce Haack was a real pioneer of electronic music, making electronic albums starting in the late sixties. The audio not the best but works.
The ANS synthesizer , imagined in 1938 and built in 1958 by Evgeny Murzin . It is controlled by glass discs that have the arrangement printed on them. It was used most notably on the soundtrack to Andrei Tarkovsky 's film Solyaris . A curious fact is also that this thing is 720-note (or should I say pitch) polyphonic! Also worth checking is this interesting article on the ANS. Update: now a virtual version of the ANS is available for everyone to play with!
A must-see for any synth enthusiast, this short documentary is about the birth of electronic music in Britain. Watch the documentary here on Open Culture . Some topics included are BBC's Radiophonic Workshop, the EMS VCS 3 synthesizer , and features Tristram Cary and Peter Zinovieff in it.
