about

WEB is a legendary trio formed in 1972 by Warren Burt, Ernie Morgan and Bruce Rittenbach playing the original Buchla 100 analog synthesizer.
Warren Burt remembers:

« It was in the northern autumn of 1972. I was starting my second year at University of California, San Diego as a post graduate student. One of the classes I was going to take, and I was looking forward to it, was a class in live-electronic performance, given by Pauline Oliveros. I remember that the first thing Pauline did was to give us a patch which consisted of one oscillator modulating another. That was it – just one oscillator with its frequency modulating another oscillator. The instruction was to turn the frequency knob of the modulating oscillator as slowly as possible, and listen to the result. That is, really listen to it – listen to how slowly it changed, and what all the aspects of the modulating sound was. It was one of the most profound music lessons in my life. As I remember, there were about five people in the class, all males, but such was the respect that all of us had for Pauline, that issues of gender didn’t surface in the class. I don’t remember everyone who was in the class, but I do remember that three of us were myself, Ernie Morgan and Bruce Rittenbach. We all had a substantial history of doing live electronic performance. The department had a large Buchla system – 4 wooden framed boxes each with at least one touch-sensitive keyboard sequencer attached to each box.
We decided that we were going to do a trio performance. Each person had at least the modules in one box and a sequencer-keyboard and each person had an input into a tape delay system. So we had the four box Buchla divided up into three systems – I don’t remember how it was but I remember we each had enough oscillators, filters, and a touch-keyboard to be self sufficient in our playing… »
