Monterey Pop Festival, 1967. Bernie Krause and Paul Beaver demonstrate a Moog synthesizer
to the assembled rock aristocracy, plugging into a surge of interest that would see
synthesizers and electronic sound become commonplace in rock and pop early the following
decade. And yet in 1967 electronic music had already seeped into mainstream culture.
For years, composers and technicians had been making electronic music for film and
TV. Hitchcock had commissioned a theremin soundtrack for Spellbound (1945); The Forbidden
Planet (1956) featured an entirely electronic score; Delia Derbyshire had created
the Dr Who theme in 1963; and by the early 1960s, all you had to do was watch commercial
TV for a few hours to hear the weird and wonderful sounds of the new world. The Sound
of Tomorrow tells the compelling story of the sonic adventurers who first introduced
electronic music to the masses. A network of composers, producers, technicians and
inventors, they took emerging technology and with it made sound and music that was
bracingly new [Publisher description]
