Professor Werner Meyer-Eppler was a major figure in the development of electronic music theory and practice in 1950s Germany, leading cutting-edge research at the Gravesaner Blätter institute. This 1959 seven-inch release represents serious academic exploration of electronic sound synthesis, specifically focusing on residual tones and formants—the fundamental building blocks of how we perceive timbre. As a professor and theorist, Meyer-Eppler approached synthesis with scientific rigor, creating sounds that are abstract, precise, and fundamentally about exploring the physics of perception. The results are pure electroacoustic material, quite far from anything resembling conventional music, but invaluable for understanding how early electronic musicians conceptualized their craft. This is material for serious listeners interested in the avant-garde roots of electronic music and synthesis. Original pressings are extremely scarce and highly sought by collectors.
