I first heard Alice Shields 20 years ago (our public library was awesome, to stock such things) via her piece "The Transformation of Ani", had quite an impact on me. Is funny, and great, to see that this video has 36 THOUSAND views and been favorited nearly 300 times, guess folks are finally starting to "get" music like this :)
I was into this type of music for a while, but I think it was really the synthesizers and recording techniques I was into. But then that's what it was partially about. One day I found myself trying to hum Morton Subotnik's "Silver Apples of the Moon" in the shower and that was a little freaky! His piece at least has an accessible rhythm you could latch onto. Thanks for this blast from a bygone era.
I found this clip while searching for Wendy Carlos. This was fantastic, thank you so much! I've never heard of Alice before, and now I hope to buy every little thing I can get my hands on! Your channel is great, I can't wait to watch all your clips. Great idea! Thanks again!
Greats freaky sounds with Retro pictures, very interesting. I never had listen the name of Alice Shielda, but affirmatively the KARL STOCKHAUSEN, DON BUCHLA (He performed in the psychedelic 'Trip Festivals', 1966) and FRANK ZAPPA (better know like guitarrist and singer).
Are U listen "Monster Magnet", "Uncle Meat LP" and "Are you Hung Up" by ZAPPA. Bizarre sounds!! (made in the 60's).
The Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center. Alice Shields. Where did you hear of her? I thought I might be...the only one left! Electronic music this great must not be left unheard!
I have several compilations of the Electronic Music pioneers. Since all modern Electronica, and the New Wave synthpop before it, came from these sonic experimenters, I wanted to spotlight Alice so new fans would appreciate her. Hopefully they get as much of a charge as you did!
I have "Columbia-Princeton" and "Pioneers," also Shields' opera "Apocalypse." I trolled the history of electronic music developing my radio program. Shields music has a special flare to it. Great collage. Thanks for posting!
The world we lost when "reality" TV and American Idol's garbage culture took over... Glad to see that the imaginary once ruled commercial artistic enterprises...
that's so true. if there were less people like Brittney spears that only cared about money and fame and more people like Alice Shields and Judy Garland that wanted to entertain, then the world would probably be a better place than it is today.
This is the first time I have ever heard of Alice Shields. Thank you for posting. Really cool.

Pics of the 1701 Enterprise look so much better than the digitally generated crap of Next Gen, voyager, Enterprise, etc.
