The legacy of Tod Dockstader is the subject of this episode of the Art + Music + Technology podcast.
Dockstader died recently, at the age of 82, leaving behind a body of work that he described as ‘organized sound’.
In this podcast, host Darwin Grosse talks with Justin Brierley, who spent a lot of time with Tod Dockstader before his death.
Justin Brierley had been interacting with Dockstader and his daughter Tina for some time, starting with his interest during a stint at school. He subsequently was able to work with Tod’s computer (containing much unreleased material), but perhaps more importantly he was able to spend time with Tod before his death, talking about music and more.

I can honestly say I’d never heard of him, but I’ve listened to a couple of tracks on Spotify and I’m impressed, wonderful stuff.
