Popis - SOUNDHOUSE [VINYL]:
In 1979 the BBC Radiophonic Workshop celebrated its 21st birthday. That same year the Fairlight CMI (Computer Musical Instrument) was launched. At the price of a house (apx. GBP 30.000) this state of the art piece of equipment was embedded with an 8-bit digital sampling synthesizer capable of emulating acoustic instruments and orchestras alongside the manipulation of sound effects. For the Workshop this was a major game changer, since previously composers would spend weeks editing small pieces of tape together to create sounds. Ingenuity and creativity in music and sound was still at the forefront for Workshop members but suddenly the job was a whole lot easier.
This 1983 collection, here reissued for the first time, celebrated these new found freedoms most notably on the opening track in which five Radiophonic composers joined forces to add their own musical identity to a rhythmic percussive sequence from the Fairlight.
