Analog Days (book recommendation) →

This book is awesome. Even being extremely interested in analog synths, I thought it would be a fairly dry read, but it was anything but. Highly recommended!
“One always has to remember these days where the garbage pail is, because it’s so easy to make sounds, and to put sounds together into something that appears to be music, but it’s just as hard as it always was to make good music.”

“As for the future of electronic music, it seems quite obvious to me that its unique resources guarantee its use, because it has shifted the boundaries of music away from the limitations of the acoustical instrument, of the performer’s coordinating capabilities, to the almost infinite limitations of the electronic instrument. The new limitations are the human ones of perception.”
—Milton Babbitt, quoted in Classic Essays on Twentieth-Century Music, ISBN 0028645812
