In this clip from an old episode of Omni (hosted by Peter Ustinov), electronic music pioneer Suzanne Ciani describes working on the music and sounds for the 1980 pinball game, Xenon – one of the first ‘talking’ pinball games.
Fascinating.
It’s amazing that what it took 2 months to do then now would take a few hours – but at the same time the amount of effort that was put into it gives it a sort of artistic permanence, as opposed to the disposability of music and effects that we produce today.
