Peter Zinovieff – Electronic Calendar – The EMS Tapes 2xCD

Peter Zinovieff is one of history’s most enigmatic and influential electronic music composers. ‘The EMS Tapes’ is the first complete retrospective of his earliest experiments in 1965 through to the dissolution of his studio and the bankruptcy of his company EMS Synthesizers in 1979. Here’s a deluxe DOUBLE-CD set with extensive liner notes, exclusive photos and Zinovieff’s own diary entries compiled by Sonic Boom. The second CD closes with the last piece of music recorded in the EMS studio before it was destroyed by a flood in London’s National Theatre in 1979. The piece is aptly titled ‘Now Is The Time To Say Goodbye’ and features interview fragments of Zinovieff fading in and out of view
