Quiet Design presents: exclusiveOr, an analog synth duo created in the time-honored spirit of the early electronic music pioneers.
The Buchla synth used on this recording was purchased by Vladamir Ussachevsky in 1966, even before Don Buchla founded his company. It is one of the earliest boxes used to create electronic sound.
Those familiar with Subotnick's Silver Apples or Pauline Oliveros' Alien Bog will recognize the sounds of the vintage Buchla and Serge synthesizers exclusiveOr used to capture the creaking, bubbling, and flickering sounds on this time bending release.
Recorded at the oldest computer music research center in the world, this NYC based duo combines the influences of modern composition with two instruments that heavily inspired today's electronic sound art. Reminiscing the days of electronic beeps and rigid binary patterns, exclusiveOr salute the first composers to generate art with electricity.
