Remember The San Francisco Tape Music Center event?
Jan-Hinnerk attended the event and sent in some images and words.
"The place was packed, the Fire Marshall told 40 people to leave or they'd have to shut the whole thing down. Terry Riley could not come, but Don Buchla, Morton Subotnick, Ramon Sender, Bill Maginnis and Stu Dempster were there at the panel and talking about how it was back then. Very nice memories. Hope I have that many smiles on my face when I am their age.Some excerpts were played from the DVD, and Morton Subotnick did a quick demo of the Buchla 100 system (note: it was not the one Silver Apples were done on, but also a very ancient one). Stu Dempster played Dijeridu.
Don Buchla didn't want to say a word at the panel, he just smiled.
I was glad I could make it. Thanks to musicologist David Bernstein for hosting the event, and for Johannes Goebel for getting the book started. I bought three copies for me and my friends."
Mort at the 100: THAT is a great image
ReplyDeleteYes, it is. It's strangely reminiscent the of the Sistine Chapel.
ReplyDeletei agree, that is a great image... where's don's hat? those are fluorescent overheads...
ReplyDeleteBecause I couldn't get into the book release party for the San Francisco Tape Music Center, (Fire Marshals were kicking & keeping people out), I had a few hours available, and because I was already in a Tape Music Center frame of mind, I decided to make a replica, in Max/MSP of the Time Lag Accumulator tape delay system as used by Terry Riley, Pauline Oliveros, Ramon Sender and others at the Tape Music Center.

I have some more pictures on my site, as well as a photo of the Buchla Box noise module.
