Just a bit of stupid fun…
I’m thinking of starting a campaign to make May 23rd International Synthesizer Day
Why?
Well, back in 1982, The London arm of the Musician’s Union called a meeting to ban synthesizers and drum machines after hearing that the Number One album –
Dare by The Human League – had been completely recorded without any traditional instruments and the MU feared that this would put musician’s out of work.
Just as a healthy ‘Up Yours’ to the Musicians Union Luddites – I’d like to make May 23rd International Synthesizer Day.
Not that it had any remote chance of happening,
but – imagine a world
without synthesizers in music from 1982 onwards…
Anyway – who sails with me?
