While ‘Oberheim’ is the centerpiece of this LP, we pressed for the first timeon vinyl three pieces from the session André called ‘Synthesis Studies,’ previouslyfeaturing on Complete Analog and Digital Electronic Music, 1978-2000. ‘I washelped in my studies by a must-have book: The Techniques of Electronic Music,by Thomas Wells and Eric Vogel (University Stores, 1974). That book aside,I learned synthesis on my own. After a trip to India in 1968, I discovered Indianmusic and took tabla and sitar classes in New Delhi; my teachers were studentsof Chatur Lal and Ravi Shankar. Later, in the 2000s, while living in the US,I tried to recreate through synthesis all the Indian musical instruments I lovedso much.’ ‘Drone’ is one of his most spectacular works
