Hmmm. I learn something new every day here. I didn’t know of anyone except Morton Subotnick who used the Buchla synthesizer (I have his three SQ LPs, and three DVDs). Gotta do some looking for that one.Live October 2016 Buchla performance, by a synth legend.
Recording is not in surround, although the performance was. Will feed it through my Surroundmaster decoder, once my surround setup is running again!

Amazon music (complimentary subscription) has several of her albums, although not that one. A quick preview says my wallet will continue hurting.Live October 2016 Buchla performance, by a synth legend.

Hawkwind. In Search Of Space.
Bought this in a 2nd hand record shop in Dundee about 10 years ago, but at some point it belonged to...

oops I was trying to quote barfle in that previous postHmmm. I learn something new every day here. I didn’t know of anyone except Morton Subotnick who used the Buchla synthesizer (I have his three SQ LPs, and three DVDs). Gotta do some looking for that one.
I saw Morton Subotnik a few years ago when he had a show (not sure if it was a concert or a seminar - he played “Silver Apples” but spent quite a while talking before that), and one thing he distinctly did not want was a “black and white keyboard.” He had a bunch of banana plug jumpers all over the synth that looked plenty groovy, and he autographed my LPs. But calling his compositions “music” is a stretch. Suzanne’s work is certainly musical, at least what I got to listen to last night. I may have discovered someone I want a lot more of.Buchla, you say?
Check this album out:

Suzanne worked at Buchla for a time early on, wrote a paper how to use one in the 70's, and used it on a lot of advertising sound FX ( the famous 70's Coca Cola bottlecap opening sound was her ).
She's also really nice! I got to talk to her at a couple of her shows & a seminar, where she signed that other album above. There is a documentary "A Life in Waves" that's worth watching. It may be on Amazon Prime?

Wasn't able to score a copy of this from my local store on record store day, but discogs came through!

Is it worth a damn, sound wise?
That's funny!
I have actually never heard Subotnik's music, although I have heard about him for years. Keep forgetting to seek it out: like when you're in a record shop & can't think of anything to look for, until after you get home
