Fascinating radio special on experimental music's earliest argued roots. Copy of opening text below, transcript of entire text bundled with upload."Originally broadcast on Friday 29th October 2004 on London's Resonance 104.4fm. Please forgiven the terrible 'booming' sounds in the studio - the people next door to the radio station seemed to have been having a party that night! This show is dedicated to Jhonn Balance, who sadly departed this mortal Coil just 2 weeks after the show was broadcast. You can hear one of his tracks in the show.
Early Electronic Oddities is an exploration of the strange and subliminal sounds of early electronic musical instruments from 1860 to 1970, and many now almost obselete daring and experimental creations like the Mixtur-Trautonium, the Ondes-Martenot, the Rhythmicon, the Ondioline, the RCA synthesizer, electro-theremin and the inventions of the Italian Futurists and Raymond Scott. Live discussions, field recordings and amazingly unearthed rare recordings presented by two theremin players, Miss Hypnotique and Bruce Woolley. Features recorded contributions by Bob Moog and Jean-Jacques Perrey."
