Ake Parmerud
Having lived and worked with electronic instruments over a period of twenty years, my attention was lately drawn to the tendency of retrospect interest in old analog synthesizers. These instruments represent to me not only a different quality of sound, but also a different mode of composing. This in turn deeply affects the musical structures coming out as the final result. Digital systems have a greater flexibility in terms of time and spectral control on a point basis. Analog systems, on the other hand, offer a way to create complex structures with a direct physical control coupled with a unique "raw" quality of sound lacking in digital instruments.
