San Antonio is one of six cities on what might be the final live performance tour of noted electronic music composer Morton Subotnick.
The name of electronic music pioneer Morton Subotnick might not sound familiar, but the sounds he helped invent have been heard by millions.
The modular synthesizer, which predates better-known keyboard synthesizers invented by Bob Moog, looks like a complicated version of an old telephone switchboard, with tangles of wires plugged into metallic boxes. A variety of electronic sounds are produced depending on which wires are connected to different inputs. , Subotnick will use his own vocal cords to produce sounds that will be transformed through the synthesizer’s oscillators.
He would know. Subotnick trained as a classical clarinetist and performed regularly with the San Francisco Symphony, San Francisco Opera and San Francisco Ballet and toured as a soloist before stepping over the threshold into uncharted musical territory. Justin Boyd employs a modular synthesizer to transform the acoustic guitar of singer-songwriter Garrett T. Capps into a wash of echoey, spacey sounds that give Capps’ backing band its moniker NASA Country.
