A lecture-demonstration of creating music in the wake of the Technological Big Bang and the early development of today’s techno music culture. In his approx. one hour presentation, Subotnick will trace the various stages of his life's work and, consequently, fifty years of experimental and electronic music development.
 
As one of the key protagonists in the history of electronic music, he will share his vision of a new metaphor – music as a multi-media studio art – and its relation to the idea of electronic music as ‘live’ art. He will discuss Marshall McLuhan's influence and how his ideas set forth a road map for finding the message of each media. And he will tell, of course, the story of the development of the first analogue modular synthesizer, in which he was crucially involved, and recall the making of his key work, Silver Apples of the Moon. The lecture will conclude with Subotnick's views on the past as present in current music culture and why the future is upon us.
