Doug Sharp - Boogafoo Music (2011)



/Avant-garde, Proto-electronica, Primitronica, Psychedelic, Experimentalism, Weird, Conceptual, Sonic effects, Avant-electronica/


Comment: Similarly to Gary Wilson and R Stevie Moore, as the musicians advanced in age, Doug Sharp- a 59-years-old man living like an eremite in a remote cabin in Wisconsin - is up to his sonic deeds, indeed, justifying his name completely. As the kind of truesome avant-gardist having created under his proper name he is also known as part of Zilch Spacecraft Network (in liaison with his daughter Margaret). This classical set/legacy of 13 tracks were created in 1974 via a bunch of phase and pitch effects on a Moog modular synthesizer. In fact, this is an unique appearance of the legendary electronic keyboard showcasing the borders, but also the possibilities and advantages of the analogue sound. Additionally, I recommend listen to Hannah M.G Shapero`s My name is Marietta Cashman (2009, justnotnormal). In conclusion, as an appeal to all dear music critics, please add these two experimentalists into a new list of musicians whenever you are ready to re-write the electronic music history once again.
