Peter Zinovieff was one history's most enigmatic and influential electronic music composers. Described by Jon Lord of Deep Purple as "a true mad professor type", his innovations in the design of electronic music instruments have left an unquantifiable mark on the evolution of music technology touching the music of David Bowie, Pink Floyd and Aphex Twin to name but a few. 'The Electronic Calendar :The EMS Tapes' is the first complete retrospective of his earliest experiments in 1965 through to the dissolution of his studio and the bankruptcy of his company EMS Synthesizers in 1979. The collection is presented as a deluxe two CD set with extensive liner notes, exclusive photos and Zinovieff's own diary entries compiled by Sonic Boom a.k.a. Pete Kember (Spacemen 3). Peter sadly passed away at the age of 88 this year.
