OHM+: The Early Gurus Of Electronic Music Special Edition 3 CD + DVD BOX SET
“Many of the ideas in this collection have now been so completely assimilated
into popular listening that it may sometimes be hard to remember how surprising
it all was on first outing. Some of it still sounds pretty exotic. These CDs
are important as part of the story of how we got to where we are now–the
cultural conversation so far–and as a still fruitful repertoire of future
possibilities.” —from the Foreword by Brian Eno “Herein lies the connective tissue bridging musique concrète, 20th-century classical, electronic experimentation, and the theoretical avant-garde to psychedelia, ambient, dub, techno, electro, and synthpop.”—Amazon.com ‘Early pioneers of electronic music get their due on Ellipsis “OHM” set.” —Billboard “The whole thing is a scream.”—Rolling Stone
The original box set was released in 2000, and
by 2004 there were reports of it being found on eBay and Amazon for a
startling 150 dollars. The
thirst for knowledge about electronic music, in it’s many forms and formats,
has shown itself in the cult following surrounding OHM+: The Early
Gurus Of Electronic Music. It all makes sense really, as electronic
music has become an integral part of everyday culture. This special collector’s
edition brings to the forefront the pioneers who have paved the way for contemporary
electronic music and the musicians who make it.
Electronic music is about experimenting with technology, creating new instruments, and inspiring musicians and artists to step outside the norm as they continue along their creative path. Steve Reich made tape loops of speeches, manipulating voices for the listener. Richard Maxfield was an electronic composer who created music using sine square wave generators. John Cage, a world famous advant garde composer and performance artist, was at the forefront of the exploration of electric and electronic sound sources, using oscillators on his recordings. And where would music be today without Robert Moog?? This stellar collection of some of the most brilliant and innovative musicians to date will help you gain a broader sense of the term “electronic music,” and you can begin to understand the scope of the influence that these iconic artists have had on today’s upstarts and contemporary electronic music.
3 CDS : A deep and extensive collection featuring the pioneers of electronic music. Includes John Cage, Richard Maxfield, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Steve Reich, Holger Czukay, Klaus Schulze, Jon Hassell, Brian Eno and more…
