How electricity changed music: The 8-hour Peabody and Prix Italia winning series.
Somewhere between a documentary, a remix and a music show, this series incorporates interviews, music and sound to explore the impact of electricity on music, from Edison to Caruso to Les Paul to Bjork. Featuring interviews with Robert Moog, Les Paul, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Steve Reich, Kid Koala, Akufen, DJ Spooky and many others.

“Ear-opening audio dynamite...this consistently surprising eight-part radio series explores how electricity changed -- and continues to change -- how we hear music, how we play it, even what we think it is or can be.”
