Mort Garson


Mother Earth's Plantasia (1976) by Mort Garson, moog instrumentation for growing plants. Mort's career started as a composer and pianist in the early 60's, but he became known mostly for the eccentric psychedelia that doused his Moog recordings. Preceeding Plantasia was Black Mass (1971) written under the pseudonym of Lucifer and meant to accompany the ceremony of its namesake; a series of singles, one for each aspect of the Zodiac; and a psychedelic re-telling of the Wizard of Oz, The Wozard of Iz (1968), complete with insane narration.
