Peter Zinovieff at 80  12 May 2013

Amazing night of music from the electronic music pioneer and founder of EMS, Peter Zenovieff, who lives in Cambridge. EMS produced the famous VCS3 synthesizer which went on to be used by Kraftwerk, David Bowie, Pink Floyd (on Dark Side of the Moon) and many other musicians. Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge hosted a conference on his work to mark his 80th birthday and finished the day with a two hour programme of music spanning his career, which concluded with an incredible performance by violinist Aisha Orazbayeva where she and her violin were in a continuous dialogue with a computer. I missed the conference but was glad to have made the evening performance. Thanks to Jo from Bad Timing for the tip-off it was happening.
