Zane, is your record from Norlin Company? If so, it
is the (quite
Nope, it's "The Synthesizer, Featuring Dick Hyman at The Moog", from
Command (ABC Records) 1973.
The particular instrument I am priveleged to share my
studio with
is a Model 55 IIIC+ , and was owned by the late Paul Beaver, who used
it to make most of the strange sound effects for a small, obscure
movie in the late 70s called "Star Wars" or something like that.
I noticed that some of the sounds, were like the laser blast effects in
Star Wars, which I found surprising as I remember watching a "Making of..."
back in about 1980 that showed them hitting a guide wire for a radio
antenna to get that same sound.
ObCLASSICCMP: One of my intentions for at least one
of my PDP11
systems is to interface it to my Moog, and obtain an old copy of
Csound or the like.. to recreate an exact environment from the
'childhood' of electronic music.
This must be what I was thinking of, I thought I remembered the Moog having
something to do with the PDP11.
