Morton Subotnick, John Eaton, William Bergsma

condition (record/cover): NM / EX- (4" top seam split)

A three-composer LP for Vox's budget Turnabout series, the label's vehicle for American composers it could license cheaply. Side A opens with Subotnick's Laminations (1969), recorded by the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra under Lukas Foss: a ten-minute piece for orchestra and tape that uses Buchla-derived electronic textures to colour the orchestral writing.

The Side A finale is John Eaton's Concert Piece for Syn-Ket and Symphony Orchestra (1966), one of the earliest concerto-form pieces for live electronic synthesizer and orchestra, with Eaton himself playing the Syn-Ket (see entry 17) and Donald Johanos conducting the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. Side B carries William Bergsma's Violin Concerto (1965), with Edward Statkiewicz soloing against the Polish Radio and Television Orchestra under Zdzislav Szostak, recorded in Łódź in 1969. Liner notes by David Rosenboom and Eaton.
