Featured review
Simple, but huge factual errors and omissions
Mills College, 5000 MacArthur Blvd., OAKLAND, California. Not Berkeley. Why show an aerial of UC Berkeley, and then move to introducing Buchla at Mills? Pick one. But, in any case, Mills is in Oakland. If you can't get the physical location right, what else does your film get wrong?
Previous reviewer has mentioned your complete lack of the British people and instruments, so I'll only support them. You have a mention of how the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, ELP, etc., had synthesizers. How did these British musicians all find synthesizers if there were not British influences? Again, if your film makes such huge omissions, what else is missing?
Also, if not for Wendy Carlos, "Switched-On Bach," her score for, "A Clockwork Orange," and the popularization of electronic music, we may not have seen the proliferation of synthesizers and electronic music. But, you do her a disservice by only allowing critiques of, "Switched-On Bach." She continued to widen the vocabulary of electronic music throughout her life and remains a pioneer.
Granted, you are trying to tell the story of the beginning, but your basic factual errors and omissions became distracting to this viewer and put this film's veracity into question.
