Echoes Podcast: Larry Fast’s Synergy Turns 50

Electronic History - Synergy at 50: The Echoes Podcast In the Echoes Podcast we go back 50 years to a turning point in electronic music history.  That’s when the album, Electronic Realizations for Rock Orchestra by Synergy was released. It was a project by Larry Fast, and there were no guitars or drums on the album, just synthesizers creating epic, orchestral tracks that still resonate today. Fast worked with Peter Gabriel extensively in the 1970s and 80s and was responsible for much of the innovative sound of the singer’s seminal 3rd and 4th albums.   John Diliberto takes a trip in electronic time with Larry Fast of Synergy, as well as Marty Scott, founder of Jem and Passport Records and veteran electronic artist Jonn Serrie, on Echoes from PRX.
