Silver Apples of the Moon

by Morton Subotnick

Silver Apples of the Moon is the debut album by American composer Morton Subotnick, released by Nonesuch Records in July 1967. It contains the titular composition, which is divided into two parts corresponding to the two sides of the original LP record. A showcase for the Buchla 100 series modular synthesizer, an early analog synthesizer that the composer helped develop, it was the first piece of electronic music commissioned by a record company.
