The Red Bull Music Academy couch has played host to many great musical minds, but few can touch the late Don Buchla. A true pioneer in the field of electronic music, Buchla started producing his first synthesizers in the ’60s, groundbreaking equipment that would become indispensable to artists across the following decades from early adopter Suzanne Ciani to the mischievous tinkerer Aphex Twin.

In this lecture at the 2007 Red Bull Music Academy in Toronto, Buchla took a deep dive into the ever-evolving nature of technology, his time with Ken Kesey’s Merry Pranksters, working with NASA and the potential of electronic composition.
