Over two hours of rare performances interviews animations and experimental video Milton Babbits discussion of the difficulties of working with archaic synthesizers in the ColumbiaPrinceton Electronic Music Center in the 1950s and 60s is a firm reminder of just how foreign electronic sounds were to even the academic community only 40 years ago Likewise Paul Lanskys private lesson with theremin inventor Leon Theremin is an example of how nonuser friendly electronic musical instruments could be even to people who should have the best sense of how to approach them
