APOD0031 Ben Kudler. Computer Music for Dorks. Episode Nineteen

Episode description

This episode we dive into the simple but far reach wild world of FM synthesis, we are talking frequency modulation. When you swat that radio dial to FM you are utilizing this fine process of modulation. FM was tinkered out in the synth jerrkshops of the 70s, later commercialized and sold world wide, becoming an unforgettable and unignorable sound of pop and experimental music alike. The synthesis style is special to the CMD crew because, while it can be crafted using analog parts, it’s extremely difficult and this process is nearly always used with digital machines, like computers, and it’s computers that really helped FM find its’ way into the world’s heart.
