Electronic Xmas

« previous episode | next episode »

Sunday, December 23, 2007

From the vault of past Spinnings On Air emerges an old show showcasing the old-fashioned modern sounds of Moog synthesizers, theremins, and more, performing strange versions of familiar Christmas music. Culled mostly from LPs released in the 1960s, there’s nearly enough electricity in these recordings to light your tree. Giving usual host/producer David Garland a night off for last minute shopping, this show is hosted by the robotic voice of a semi-autonomous digital entity.

After the electronic mix (perhaps at about 10pm?) there was a multimovement work for boys choir. Does anyone recall who/what it was?

I'm really enjoying the sound of the male soprano voices in the electronic mix. May I ask who the choir is?
