Two performance excerpts (2009 & 2013) at Roulette by Morton Subotnick, a pioneer in electronic music and an innovator in works involving instruments with other media, including interactive computer music systems. Subotnick co-founded the legendary San Francisco Tape Center and his seminal work, Silver Apples of the Moon (1966-67), has been entered into the National Register of Recorded Works at the Library of Congress. About these performances Subotnick writes, “For each season of performances I create a new hybrid Ableton-Buchla 'instrument' loaded with prepared samples from all my previous works and performances and new patches that allow me to modify the samples while performing brand new sound gestures".
