You might remember The Tone Generation from this post when the program was first announced. In short, it is a radio series on the history of electronic music. Thanks goes to this post on Califaudio for reminding me of the series. The next program will feature the RCA synthesizer. I am now subbed and will post when it comes in.
Update: if you prefer to download these as mp3s for the road or other, you can find them here.

ReplyDeleteThanks or posting this, I've been listening to it for days, Hugh LeCaine is one of the main reasons I make electronic music. I had a friend in college who was an Opera singer and she sent me an MP3 of The Burning Deck by LeCaine and it changed my life.
