Get Deep Into Synth History With New Podcast

US History, technology and pioneers at Synthhistory.com      05/09/23

The Synth History Podcast is a limited series that takes a deep dive into the history and technology behind synthesizers as well as the pioneers who brought them to the forefront. 

At the moment there are 3 episodes and it looks as though there are more in the works.

Episode 1 examines the work of Wendy Carlos, a pioneering musician and composer, best known for her electronic music and film scores for A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, and Tron as well as her 1968 record Switched-on-Bach.

Episode 2 jumps into the world of the Roland Corporation and its founder, Ikutaro Kakehashi, exploring the circumstances that led Mr. Kakehashi to found one of the biggest musical instrument companies in the world. Roland no doubt have had a lasting impact on popular music and culture. 

Episode 3 gets super geeky with discourse on Oscillators - I mean, where would we be without those! From the voltage controlled oscillators found inside your synthesizer, to the quartz crystal oscillator found inside your watch. The oscillations of black holes, electromagnetic fields, and sound itself shape the dynamics of our world. This episode takes you on a journey through what it means to oscillate - a fundamental concept in physics and engineering.
