Haack, Bruce: This Old Man (Coloured Vinyl LP)

Bruce Haack (1931 - 1988) was a Canadian composer and electronic music pioneer whose creative output from the 1950s through the 1970s has been tragically underappreciated.

Now considered to have been decades ahead of his time, Bruce Haack forged his music from glittering ‘new’ computer landscapes of his own invention, long before the world was aware that such things were even possible.

Welcome to his beautiful crucible of electronic sounds, wherein he illuminated his myriad interests in science, the wonders of childhood, and the human condition, woven into a musical tapestry that shimmers like an exploding sun.

This is the second Bruce Haack LP that Shimmy-Disc has re-released. The first was Captain Entropy (Shimmy-2019), in August 2023.

Electro-clear-vinyl version.
