This is a music video for Morton Subotnick‘s 1971 electronic piece Sidewinder. The work was originally composed for a Columbia LP and filled both sides.

Sidewinder is one of several pioneering albums by Subotnick – along with Silver Apples of the Moon, Touch, Until Spring and others – that have influenced generations of synthesists. These works represented the cutting edge of modern synthesis when they were released and, 50 years later, they still sound aggressively avant garde to new listeners.
