Description

The fifth in a series of late-night, electronic, music mixes, produced by the editorial staff of “Source Magazine”, a biannual publication devoted to avant-garde composers’ scores, articles and photographs. Source also produced a series of published music scores, Composer/Performer Edition. With its combination of weird electronic sounds, text-sound compositions, and fragments of interviews this program serves as a classic example of the type of avant-garde and electronic music programing that documented the artistic explosion of the late 1960s.
