Hi John, the following 4 of Appleton's LPs/CDs are available in mp3 format on Rhapsody - Contes De La Memoire, Four Fantasies for Synclavier, Music for Synclavier and Other Digital Systems, Two Melodramas for Synclavier (yes, the other piece is the Snow Queen).
AFAIK they are legal downloads (if they are not, please do not tell me...)
Wow, Sandy, that's going WAY back... I do remember that piece from Jon Appleton; paired with his recording of the Snow Queen, if memory serves. But that LP has never been released on CD and I don't believe we have the original vinyl anymore in our library.
Still, the idea of a show looking back at the Synclaviers, Arps, Prophets, and Kurzweils of the 70s and early 80s might be fun. Thanks for suggesting it!
John
A beautiful and haunting piece that is a narrated music is Jon Appleton's "The Tale of William Mariner". What makes it especially interesting is that the instrument is the Synclavier, a computer driven synthesizer of some sort that has was incredibly advanced by its ancient (i.e. decades-old) standards.
I think I first heard it on New Sounds back in my New Yorker days (and if not, I should have).
A synclavier-based show by the way would be an interesting addition to the New Sounds lineup (even if it is not so new any more)
