1. radiOM.org - A Soundscape of Ocean, City, and Music [5.906% Popularity: 0.00000]

A Soundscape of Ocean, City, and Music Listen Item Type: Sound Recording Duration: 29 min Event Type: Other Finds Program Origin: KPFA This is a rather interesting mix of city sounds, ocean waves, and music. Clearly edited using bits of ambient recordings, many of which may have also been included as part of KPFA’s World Ear Project, this recording goes beyond those simple field recordings by incorporating music, chanting, news broadcasts, to create a very evocative soundscape. With its origins lost in obscurity all that is known about this unique recording is that it is an excellent example of the sort of seemingly aleatoric compositions that were quite popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and which can still entrance the attentive listener today.

3. radiOM.org - Payne Box: Sawtooth Wave [5.116% Popularity: 0.00000]

Payne Box: Sawtooth Wave Listen Item Type: Sound Recording Duration: 10 min Event Type: Music Program Origin: KPFA This is an early example of the types of sounds that can be created electronically. It is uncertain if this modulated sawtooth wave was intended as a piece of electronic music or simply as a demonstration of a certain type of analog synthesizer. The accompanying documentation indicates it was one channel of a “Payne Box,” which may indicate that it was created by either Maggi Payne or John Payne, both composers of electronic music associated with KPFA during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Musical Selections: [a variously modulated sawtooth wave] (8:08) Genre: Electro-Acoustic / Electronic Subject: Electronic music Recording Date: 9/29/1969 Listen...
