Electronic Music: The Odd and Interesting [sound recording]
name: label: performer
content: Stephen, Val
notes: label: Notes
content: Dr. Val Stephen, a 'Gentleman Amateur' and pioneer in electronic music experiments of the 1960s, became the first Australian to have electronic music released commercially on an international label. A practising anaesthetist, Stephen developed an interest in electronic music in the late 1950s and recorded a large body of work with a range of tools and techniques. Stephen's music, along with his public advocacy of electronic music, was pioneering in regard to the acceptance of electronic music as a legitimate musical concern. The first two tracks, "Fireworks" and "The Orgasmic Opus" appear on Folkways 1967 album "Electronic Music: University of Toronto Electronic Music Studio" FW33436 /FM 3436, but the rest are untitled and appear to be unreleased from this earlier orginal tape sent to Moe Asch in 1963.
