History of Electronic Music: Download the 1971 Film Strip

Literal [createdigitalmusic]:

Ever thought you’d be downloading a film strip, as a QuickTime MPEG4, no less? Here’s a good excuse: the superb bending and DIY blog GetLoFi has posted a two-part history of electronic music film strip from 1971, authored by Nick Rossi. When they say “history,” they ain’t kiddin’: the strip starts 2600 years ago. As a GetLoFi reader observes, they miss out on Italian Futurist Russo, inventor and composer Raymond Scott, and others. Then again, it’s great to see a history of electronic music that’s itself a part of history.

Now, go watch — just be easy on GetLoFi’s bandwidth, okay?
