Mortin Subotnick We recently went to see Morton Subotnick in San Antonio celebrating his 80th birthday with a residency and performance Feb. 21-23 at the Urban 15, 2500 S Presa St. We've been fans of Subotnick since we met him in San Francisco at the Art Academy. I didn't know you were into elctronic music. Me, I'm into Industrial Techno EDM - electronic dance music. It's weird to call electronic music bleep music, but before the digital age of the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface). Go figure.
