One of the first albums composed almost entirely with a digital synthesizer, Future Travel, features the Touché, a pioneering, digital keyboard instrument from Buchla and Associates. Rosenboom's performances on piano, violin, percussion, sppoken texts, and the Buchla 300 Series Electric Music Box are also featured. The CD booklet includes an informative article by composer, Chris Brown, about the history of this music and its instrumentation.
