David Chesworth // The Unattended Serge 1978 / Five Evolutionary Things 1979 LP

This is a record released in 2014 by experimental musician David Chesworth from Melbourne, Australia on the Italian experimental label Planam.

in 1978-1979Contains 9 minimal electronic music tracks produced using the Serge synthesizer.

The following is a commentary by the writer himself.

1978's "The Unattended Serge" and 1979's "Five Evolutionary Things" are works for the Serge Synthesizer centered on independent patches.After being set up, the patch is left to evolve on its own.I think of patches as little organisms, each supplying a specific pitch and voltage.

Both pieces were produced at the now-defunct Latrobe University electronic music studio. 'The Unattended Serge' was made in 1978, a few months after the first recording of my '50 Synthesizer Greats' series. "Five Evolutionary Things" was produced in October 1979.Both series were made using the same Serge Synthesizer. "

David Chesworth, 2012:

"The Unattended Serge 1978 and Five Evolutionary Things 1979 both comprise a series of works for the Serge Synthesizer based around self-sustaining patches. off their own particular pitches and voltages.

Both works were made at the now long gone LaTrobe University Electronic Music Studio. The Unattended Serge was made in 1978, a few months after the initial recording of my 50 Synthesizer Greats series. Five Evolutionary Things was created in October 1979. Both series were made using the same Serge Synthesizer. 

The LaTrobe Music Department itself was closed down in 1999.”
