Music On The Street

As we’re heading into the Christmas season, what better time to check out some of the overlap between music/technology and children’s television…

Herbie, Moog and Glass

Back in 1983, Herbie Hancock visited Sesame Street to show the kids his Fairlight CMI – quite a cameo for the time, introducing some sampling concepts and a little bit of acid jazz jamming to boot…

Another Sesame Street overlap with classic synths can be found in this odd Ernie puzzle clip, which features sound effects from a Moog…

And here’s a short video on the geometry of circles, with a soundtrack composed by Philip Glass specifically for Sesame Street!
