this was tomorrow
Interesting chap, John Pfeiffer - he helped RCA develop stereo and quadraphonic techniques
Also produced a couple of Tomita albums, including my favorite The Planets, which includes this marvel of stereophonia
Although that said, the version on YouTube appears to actually be in mono, annoyingly!
Worth searching out on vinyl (and be sure to go with the 1976 original, rather than the later digi-ed up revisiting)
Like the mispelling of the title there - "dawn chores"!
And produced a shitload of classical on the RCA Victor Red Seal and Victrola imprints
In terms of his own music, however, Electronomusic was Pfeiffer's only recording, sadly
Never noticed before the cool parentheticals behind each title:
Warm-Up, Canon And Peace [For Inharmonic Side Band] 7:28
Reflection Of A String [For Contraformer] 3:07
Drops [For Programmer And Sines] 2:47
Moments [Events For Parametric Blocks] 6:37
Take Off [For Metric Transperformer] 3:32
Forests [Modes For Alphormer And Set] 12:52
Pavone [A Duotonic Transform] 3:20
Orders [For Sequential Sines] 5:45
After Hours [For Ordered Simpliformer] 3:05
