Meristematic tissue stimulating harmonies

 
Mort Garson (1924 - 2008) was a Canadian composer, bandleader and songwriter; he was a classically trained musician and electronic researcher, started his career in the 1960s and was among the first to experiment with the big Moog synthesiser. He was mainly known for his original sci-fi space age soundscapes. In 1967, he recorded his first album Cosmic Sounds which features sonic analog based compositions. Released in 1969, Electronic Hair Pieces contains supernatural electronic moods, pulsating hypnotic effects and moving synthesised textures.
 
Mort Garson's musical universe is close to Cecil Leuter and Jean-Jacques Perrey's kitsch moog pop soundscapes but within more mystical-cerebral-adventurous proportions, where lysergic electronic modulations meet dark epic timbres.
