Silver Apples of the Moon

An american composer of electronic music, Morton Subotnick is best known for his Silver Apples of the Moon. This is the first electronic music which was commissioned by a record company, Nonesuch. Silver Apples of the Moon was written in 1967. This music can be accepted as highly abstract. For me, it is abstract and I do not like this kind of music personally. The rhythm is not regular and there is not noticeable consequence and patterns in this music. However, there is a sense of a regular rhythm at some point in this music. The electronic instrumentation has a variety and appear section by section. Electronic music can express something that acoustic classical music cannot express. It sounds like a future and technology. In my opinion, the title, Silver Apples of the Moon indicates our possibility to go to the moon and even find apples there. I do not know if you like this music or not (because I don't), but I will put the link for the recording.
