Subotnick’s LP “Touch” has brought me to electronic music. Of course there were other influences in my life, but “Touch” is one of the very few examples that show what electronic music can be.
Others may correct me, but I think this work was commissioned, and Subotnick worked one year on that album. Which is, admittedly, a good motivation for a young composer.
To describe the album makes not much sense. Listen for yourself:

I saw this film at the Seeyousound festival in Turin last year and I really enjoyed the film.
( My own film Crass .The Sound Of Free Speech was on in the same competition)
The film is beautifully made and very gently paced. I would definetly watch this again. It is a pleasure to watch.
They missed Netflix…
