Buchla Now is a new album release with music from artists using Buchla synthesizers including Suzanne Ciani, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Todd Barton & more

Don Buchla has developed synthesizers that go beyond the scope of classic, subtractive synthesis. Instead of filtering sounds, they add harmonics to sounds, making them richer and complex. It’s a different approach to work with synthesis. Today it is known as West Coast synthesis and many elements have made it into classical synthesis today. Especially wave folders, waveshapers…

Don is a legend and his instruments still inspire many musicians, young and old. And the most beautiful thing for me is when I can listen to music where these instruments are used. Just recently, the cassette label Ultraviolet Light celebrated its birthday with a new album release dedicated to D. B. synths.
