The Barrons of Electronic Music
The Barrons are best known as the original pioneers of electronic music. In the 1950s, Louis and Bebe were considered part of the avante-garde performance art scene, making much of there own musical equipment and circuitry. After composing an amazing 4 minute electronic audio montage, they caught the eye of MGM studios, and landed a job as composers for an upcoming film. They were given only three months to come up with a soundtrack for Forbidden Planet. They headed back to there NYC studio and home to put together most of the audio production. The final post production was done here in Los Angeles (Culver City) and delivered to the studio in April 1956.
