Four Masterpieces Every Electroacoustic Music Fan Should Know

from Little Pi's Tech Music Tips

From music spliced together out of train sounds, to Bach performed on a synthesizer, to music designed to help you zone out in an airport, Little Pi picks four key masterpieces spanning 70 years that changed the direction of electroacoustic music: Pierre Schaeffer's Étude aux chemins de fer, Stockhausen's Gesang der Jünglinge, Wendy Carlos's Switched-On Bach, and Brian Eno's Ambient 1: Music for Airports.
