Despu\u00e9s de graduarse en la universidad de Washington, acept\u00f3 un trabajo para dise\u00f1ar, comprar y construir un estudio de grabaci\u00f3n de m\u00fasica electr\u00f3nica. Esto le facilit\u00f3 acceso continuo a sintetizadores y a mediados de los 70 Tom descubri\u00f3 que trabajar con m\u00fasica electr\u00f3nica era lo que mas le llenaba.<\/p>\n<p>La idea de \u201cPieces for Kohn\u201d surge cuando Tom visita el estudio del artista Bill Kohn. Tom ya era una admirador de su trabajo, que combinaba colores vibrantes con figuras geom\u00e9tricas en tres dimensiones y que aplicaba en pinturas, acuarelas, l\u00e1minas&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Bill le propuso a Tom que compusiera m\u00fasica para una exhibici\u00f3n de su obra en una famosa galer\u00eda de arte y Tom decidi\u00f3 publicar tambi\u00e9n esas composiciones en un LP.<br \/>&lt;br&lt;Tom eligi\u00f3 los cuatro cuadros que m\u00e1s le gustaban y compuso la m\u00fasica correspondiente. La grabaci\u00f3n se efectu\u00f3 en el estudio de m\u00fasica electr\u00f3nica de la Universidad de Washington, el mismo estudio que Tom dise\u00f1\u00f3 y construy\u00f3 en 1971 y que fue trasladado y reconstruido en 1974 (donde todav\u00eda reside a d\u00eda de hoy).<\/p>\n<p>Las cintas originales de la obra sonaron en la inauguraci\u00f3n de la exposici\u00f3n de Bill Kohn en la galer\u00eda de arte Terry Moore en Enero de 1976. Poco tiempo despu\u00e9s, Tom public\u00f3 las grabaciones bajo el nombre de \u00abPieces for Kohn\u00bb en una edici\u00f3n privada en vinilo en su propio sello, Somnath Records.<\/p>\n<p>RIYL: TERRY RILEY, MORTON SUBOTNICK, USSACHEVSKY<\/p>\n<p>*Por primera vez reeditado en vinilo este disco electr\u00f3nico de culto.<\/p>\n<p>*Sonido de m\u00e1sters, insert a color con notas por Tom Hamilton y fotos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExcelente y libre m\u00fasica electr\u00f3nica\u00bb \u2013 Frans de Waard (Vital Weekly).<\/p>\n<p>Tracklist: A1.
