gosh, that Raymond Scott track really does sound like it could have been on Music has The Right To Children. amazing selection - going to go and explore some of these people, up until now many of them have just been names to me but once again i've learnt something. bravo!

but i love it so much....
hurrah for you!

Seems that Daphne and Delia, Glynis and Elizabeth were representing for the ladeez back then. But rarely see stuff now from the fairer sex. Is it that mouse+screen is less appealing than the touchy-feely of chopping tapes up or twiddling oscilloscopes?

Ahh, the beep bloop and whoosh of the thermionic valve ... you made an old chap very happy!

the ladies are still at it Chris, just different times innit. i think that people are more likely to make art music out of boxes rather than software - more tactile and malleable. more fun to take apart and re-wire a box isnt it? or that terry riley track up there, you could make that on any bit of freeware in 2 minutes probably, but its the idea that bits of tape were spliced and manipulated that's so inspiring - which is why this music is so important. Kudos.

give ma an old drum machine or a dictaphone or a 4-track recorder or even a calculator and i'd have more fun than ableton. imagine being in a room full of equipment and being told to create sound effects. what a job.

surprised she's not up there, nor anyone else from the bbc radiophonic workshop (unless I missed their names).

still great stuff though!

Daphne Oram, included in this selection, was the founder of the Radiophonic Workshop. You should run out and buy her "Oramics" collection immediately! Delia gets all the attention, but Daphne waqs a true pioneer who made her own equipment and has only recently been given any attention.

I would really like to get hold of some Jon Baker?

Now I'm off to the Green Foil Plantet to see my friends the Lampost People!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

And that's a good thing!

This is one of the best 14tracks comps (I am becoming quite addicted to the 14tracks series). Please make more early electronica collections. Go on, you know you want to!

Hey, that was interesting,

I never new that electronic was about so long ago, i thaught that it was introduced in the 80s,

Thanks for writing about it

Raymond Scott is was excellent and my favorite out of them all. Actually all of them are my favorite.

This is really a great compilation. I was on my search for some inspiring music of stockhausen but after seeing these names there is so much more of this lovely genre! Absolutly great!!

Hi,

This is a great site and idea. I can't wait till I'll browse through all the categories.

Could you help me find a track by the name (excuse my Italian) "Il Computer Arigistrato la mia Voce" - "The computer records my voice"?

I heard it like 30 years ago and it was recoded long before that. It is suppose to be the first sampled based electro-acoustic music piece. I thought it would be among the 14 tracks...

Many thanks!
