NOTES
I had recently arrived in San Francisco when, in the fall of 1965
I conceived of assembling what I described then as "the first Electrified Symphony Orchestra."
My 18th birthday had just passed and I possessed only modest abilities as a musician
but, being prone to such crazy notions, the concept seemed perfectly reasonable
this was the Haight-Ashbury of the mid-sixties, after all!
A few months later a stable musical ensemble somewhat resembling my original conception had come into existence
What I had imagined would be an "orchestra" of a dozen-or-so musicians proved in practice to be unmanageable
Instead, a coalition of five instrumentalists from various musical traditions
rock, classical, jazz, folk and blues—emerged as the core group
For what was essentially a reconceived rock band, the instrumentation was extremely unusual
comprising some combination of violin, oboe, standup bass, guitar, bouzouki, flute, organ, drums and percussion
All of the melodic instruments were modified for electric amplification
The Orkustra's brief day in the sun did not allow an opportunity to record a formal album
However, some recordings of the band's practice sessions and live performances were made
These precious few artifacts have been carefully restored and compiled
by Mexican Summer into a comprehensive double LP album
