Subotnick: Portrait of an Electronic Music Pioneer

Subotnick explores the life of electronic music pioneer Morton Subotnick. At 90 years of age, he has become a cult figure for a broad spectrum of composers and producers spanning the avant-garde to techno. Featuring live performances captured in surround sound and augmented with innovative liquid-light psychedelic effects, Subotnick is a multimedia experience that highlights and celebrates one of the world’s most influential living composers.

This screening will be preceded by a separate musical performance at Hitt Records.

(updated 12.18) - Listening party! 6pm at Hitt Records - Originally intended as a live performance, but had to cancel due to illness, Ed Herrmann has been preparing and rehearsing for weeks and has recorded a 60 minute piece that will play over the speakers at Hitt Records from 6-7pm. Ed’s piece utilizes synths, and techniques that would have been typical of a 1970’s Morton Subotnick performance and will serve as a prelude to the film.
