- In part 2 of The Littoral Myth, we examine the history of the development of electronic instruments and music that lies of the foundation of the work of Bob Moog and Don Buchla.
This is part 2 of a series of 15 videos. If you'd like to watch them all and in sequence, check out the associated playlist.
The music was composed entirely on Buchla instruments.

In literature there is also record of expanding perceptions as well as expectations of what constitutes music. A prime example is the essay Music At Night by Aldous Huxley.
Joel Chadabe did a great job at structuring the material in his book "Electric Sound - The Past and Promise of Electronic Music" [1997]: The opening up of music to all sounds, tape music, Studios, Computers, Synthesizers, MIDI,...
Starting to work my way through another thorough Dotying. Thanks for making these.
Hey, thanks, Alex! Let me apologize in advance for the format... there are those who would rather that it was one large chunk, which I understand to a degree. Even though you continually demonstrate to me that RUclips CAN have an attention span. :D
My dad had some Music Concrete albums that I would try to listen to once in a while as a bambino, It was like um. I dont know the best way to say it but like brussel sprouts or some food you develop a taste for after your initial disgust with it? haha. but yeah... years later I'd return to them and find their almost single minded dedication to creating that which hasn't been heard very much a wellspring of inspiration.
amazing serie ! fascinating and so clear ;) thank you so much for sharing !
So glad the algorithm put this on my feed! Looking forward to more content about early electronic music!
Really looking forward to the continuing video series Mark.
Ooo very interesting! Thank you Marc for the history and you're views☺️
Well, thank YOU, and thanks for watching! There are 15 other videos in this series, and an associated playlist!
@@automaticgainsay I've already finished number 3, now watching 4 😁🙌
I was waiting for you to say “Stockhausen..” 😕
The umbilical connection between Radio Studio/Tech and EM fascinates me..
To the point I taught myself to build radio receivers to understand synthesizers better..
Thank You Marc Doty! 👍
When people pursue something new they _do_ occasionally consider what might be left behind, and luckily this was the case also with the development of electronic music 😅
9:51 "One set of "pantels" ... Yes! Your oft-generated verbal serendipity is delightful, & cute save btw, thanks for leaving it in; I vote yes for inclusion into English usage: "Pantel" -- meaning an amalgamation of multi-disciplinary pan-technical formerly disparate electronic components into a unified musicianly-usable interface!...?
Thanks you for this.
The introduction of "L'arte dei Rumori" is dated March 11, 1913 (not 1912)
Hey Marc - you ever thought about doing a deep dive on the music of Raymond Scott?
The "using devices not intended for music to make music" thing may be more up Heinbach's aisle... but I wouldn't complain if two of my favorite SynthTubers collaborated. 😎
I know a bit about Scott as he and Moog were friends and Moog had a lot of information about him in his archives.
The resources available on him are limited due to his secrecy, and as a result, it’s hard to develop a perspective on him that isn’t that of the few experts on him that have had the most access to his work. Like his son! :)
I'd consider turning a studio full of disparate components into "one solid thing" more of an evolutionary than a revolutionary development. And look at what happened to the one solid thing when the modular synth idea took off (again ;-)
Watch the 13th video
So how did they know that this "new" technology (electricity) would be able to create sound or music? I think I know the answer, but just interested in what you think.
The development of (sound) recording technology began way before the development of electronic sound (production) technology. Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville patented the Phonautograph on March 25, 1857 [en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_recording_and_reproduction].
Difference between development and widespread application
And that’s where our story begins … 👏👏👏
This is awesome stuff
Thank you so much, Robin!
Move one letter in Synket and you get Skynet ...
good🙃💙stuff
you're the best
Ha ha, thanks!
Oops, the Telharmonium was _patented_ in 1897, so likely developed before 😜
the 'movement' was actually quite small. 'giant groundswell'??? not so much. c'mon mark...stop the hyperbole.
This is a bullshit argument unless an objective scale is presented.
If you can’t find an actual inaccuracy and you want to invent one by making assumptive scale assertions… well, I just don’t know.
I do know...this was a very small 'movement'...it actually still is. @@automaticgainsay
OK, nitpicking a bit, but I believe you mean "academics" rather than "academicians" 🤭 "An academician is a full member of an artistic, literary, engineering, or scientific academy." [en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academician].
Thanks you for this.
