What the Future Sounded Like explores a lost chapter in music history. Post-war Britain rebuilt itself on a wave of scientific and industrial breakthroughs that culminated in the 1960’s cultural revolution. In this atmosphere was born the Electronic Music Studios (EMS), a radical group of avant-garde electronic musicians who utilized technology and experimentation to compose a futuristic electronic sound-scape for the New Britain. Comprising of pioneering electronic musicians Tristram Cary (famed for his work on the Dr Who series) and Peter Zinovieff, EMS’s studio was one of the most advanced computer-music facilities in the world. EMS’s great legacy is the VCS3, Britain’s first synthesizer and rival of the American Moog. The VCS3 was a uniquely British invention, which changed the sounds of some of the most popular artists of this period including Brian Eno, Hawkwind and Pink Floyd. Almost thirty years on the VCS3 is still used by modern electronic artists like Aphex Twin and Chicken Lips. What The Future Sounded Like uncovers a group of composers and innovators who harnessed technology and new ideas to re-imagine the boundaries of music and sound.
