Twenty Synthesizers

December 12, 2008 · Posted in Electronic Music 

The composer Benge has released and album called twenty systems. Twenty pieces are included and each piece is created using only one synthesizer. As there are 20 pieces there twenty different synthesizers are used. The synthesizers are selected one for each year 1968 to 1988 – twenty years. The idea was to demonstrate the development of the synthesizers from the first commercial available system up to the fully digital systems in the late 1980s.
