Motown Magic Disco Machine??

[Videoskooter]

Now I'm confused here! I thought it was typically Euro to DisCOVER classical music and thus put 'em on a Disco beat?! But...this is MOTOWN :icon_eek:

MOTOWN M6-857S1 (1976)





How come?

*****

from Motown :icon_eek:.....yes ---


But not from your typical Motown artist :

William Goldstein

At the age of nine his prodigious talents brought him to Columbia University; in 1975 he was discovered by Berry Gordy, who brought Mr. Goldstein to LA under contract to MOTOWN , as a recording artist / composer and producer. At the same time, interestingly enough, Mr. Goldstein was finishing a commission for a Bicentennial work, CELEBRATION OVERTURE 1776-1976, which was performed by the National Symphony Orchestra in May of 1976.

After scoring all the episodes of NBC's FAME series, Mr. Goldstein added the world of computer electronic music to his pop, and orchestral experience.

He quickly achieved prominence as an innovator of New Technology , creating the very first completely computer sequenced direct to digital score for Guber/Peters' oceanQuest in 1985. CBS Masterworks released the CD under the title OCEANSCAPE. He later created the score for Sierra-on-line's KING'S QUEST FOUR, the first interactive computer game with a full blown musical score; the result was a revolution in the computer game industry that has thus far sold over 1,000,000 games!
