Electronic music pioneer Morton Subotnick first caught the public ear in the late '60s with Silver Apples of the Moon, a commissioned work for Nonesuch Records that he composed on the newly developed Buchla modular synthesizer.

Around that same time Subotnick helped establish and program New York's Electric Circus - an East Village night club renowned for its mix of light shows, transgressive music, circus performers and experimental theater - and the unfettered aesthetic of that time is evident in many of his works.

Morton Subotnik is an artist-in-residence with the School of Music during the 2011-12 season.
