Peter Zinovieff, composer and synthesizer innovator, dies at 88

Peter Zinovieff, composer and synthesizer innovator, dies at 88 EMS Synthi AKS. (NYT NEWS SERVICE) .- Peter Zinovieff, a composer and inventor whose pioneering synthesizers shaped albums by Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Roxy Music and Kraftwerk, died on June 23 in Cambridge, England. He was 88. His death was announced on Twitter by his daughter Sofka Zinovieff, who said he had been hospitalized after a fall. Zinovieff oversaw the design of the first commercially produced British synthesizers. In 1969, his company, EMS (Electronic Music Studios), introduced the VCS3 (for “voltage controlled studio”), one of the earliest and most affordable portable synthesizers. Instruments from EMS soon became a staple of 1970s progressive-rock, particularly from Britain and Germany. The company’s slogan was “Think of a sound — now make it.”

Letter of the week: A power struggle in Israel

Jeremy Bowen writes powerfully and sensibly, as always (“The war that cannot be won”, 28 May). I only met Benjamin Netanyahu once over breakfast in Israel shortly before he became prime minister, and I took an instant dislike to him – bombastic, vain, and histrionic. As he faces serious criminal charges, the outside world must hope that Yair Lapid succeeds in building an alternative coalition government, however doubtful that looks. When I was a student in the late Fifties, many spent their vacations volunteering on a kibbutz, but no longer, as Israel has slipped from being a cause to assist. What I fail to understand is why Israelis cannot just settle for their comfortable life instead of supporting Netanyahu’s constant expansionist plans, which are the root cause of Palestinian anger and frustration, and which have led to a rise in despicable anti-Semitism around the world. The two-state solution should be pursued with more vigour and determination by our government and others.

From Tales of the Unexpected to Inside No.9: how Roald Dahl's  twisted genius comes alive on screen

ITV's Tales of the Unexpected brought inky-black humour to small screen Credit:  ITV/Shutterstock Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected is remembered not only for its “twist in the tale” endings, but also its opening sequence: the eerie fairground waltz theme tune; the quasi-Bond titles, with the silhouette of a naked woman (well, she looked naked) dancing with fate itself – a gun, a roulette wheel, tarot cards, faces of death; and lastly Roald Dahl, sat at a crackling fireside, introducing that week’s strange yarn. It’s during one of these softly-spoken introductions that Dahl ponders the streak of deathly black humour that underscores his tales. “If a bucket of paint falls on a man’s head, that’s funny,” says Dahl to the camera. “If the bucket fractures his skull at the same time and kills him, that’s not funny – it’s tragic. And yet, if a man falls into a sausage machine and is sold in the shops at so-much a pound, that’s funny. It is also tragic. So why is it funny? I don’t know.”

Sisters with Transistors surveys the women of electronic music

; narrated by Laurie Anderson Technological development not only improves our scientific understanding and productive capacities, it also creates new possibilities for the arts. The emergence of electronic oscillators and magnetic audio tape was crucial to the development of electronic music, one of the artistic innovations of the 20th century. The documentary Sisters with Transistors (2020) examines the contributions that women have made, as performers and composers, to this art form. Suzanne Ciani (Courtesy of Suzanne Ciani) Electronic music came into its own after World War II, growing to encompass techniques such as tape manipulation (e.g., splicing, altering playback speed or creating loops) and the use of oscillators, electronic instruments or computers to produce sound. Some works have a surreal quality, and others conjure images of outer space.
