When I hear Buchla 100, 200 and 200e on Youtube (wouldn't it be great to hear such powerful machines as 100 and 200 f.e. at a friend's house!) 100 and 200 have such a warm and organic feeling to their sound. The 200e sounds much colder, it must be due to it's analog/digital hybrid structure.
Serge has that warmth too, but has also somehting in it's sound that I can't lay my finger on.
Btw John,
A while ago I bought two albums of yours from cd baby. That was before I became a owner myself. I wanted to hear pure Serge sounds.
But your music came as a suprise, being so extreme abstract. I have a hard time liking it. Not for it's sounds, but for it's music! Not that I'm not fond of experimental stuff. Take f.i. Herbert Eimer's WDR studio Cologne experiments in the 50s. Or Oskar Sala's Trautonium experiments. I love that stuff. Also love pieces from Pauline Oliveros, but can't get into Karl Heinz Stockhausen.
