about

3 years ago I started to gather some music created playing Buchla instruments and 2 volumes of BUCHLAÏSMS appeared as a companion to my first choice in our ITATIOM series dealing with Inventors Talking About Their Instruments Or Modules.

Those 2 volumes, offering about 7 hours of music were already a mammoth of a collection but I had a feeling that many players were missing. My purpose was to respect the historical side while showing today's creation.
Thus the last few months have been very studious, spending a lot of time pulling strings, trying to find new users of the instrument, re-launching or convincing some of the best-known to participate to an hommage to Buchla. Of course I haven't managed to get everyone on board and no worries as I’m happy to rest assured that some do not need our support, but 5 new volumes filled with creations made on purpose are now ready.

BUCHLA - often labelled as the Stradivarius of Synthesizers - is one of the most innovative « musical vessel » ever designed, whose extent of the sound spectrum does not seem to belong to this world and the logic lies apart from everything that may have existed before its creation. The Buchla synthesizer is named after the electronics pioneer Donald "Don" Buchla, who manufactured his first modular synthesizer with the avant-garde musicians Ramon Sender and Morton Subotnick, the founders of the San Francisco Tape Music Centers (SFTMC). Both were looking for an engineer who could implement their ideas and requirements and found this person in Donald Buchla, with his extensive musical and technical expertise. In 1963, they eventually managed to achieve together what they had been working toward for years: an analog, modular synthesizer. The Buchla Series 100.
As you know Modulisme has paid a lot of tribute to SERGE, celebrating its 50 years of existence with dignity. So I thought that since Buchla is the one that started it all for me + my favourite system, it was high time to add some entries to our « Buchlaïsms » series.
Don Buchla initiated the 100 series Modular Electronic Music System in 1963 + the Easel in 1973 so let's celebrate in a grand way…
