As Maria Popova observes, "The question of whether technology dehumanizes people, as MoMA’s Paola Antonelli convincingly argues, humanizes objects isn’t new. In fact, it’s at the heart of this vintage PBS segment (I II III) on computer music recorded in 1986, at the dawn of CDs, synthesizers and other 'new' music-making machines." It was right around 1986 I discovered electronic music myself, when I say Tangerine Dream in Ottawa. I was blown away by Stratosfear and spent countless hours thereafter listening to electronic music. Today it's mainstream.
