Doris Norton (pioneer in early electronic/computer music) began her musical career playing avant-garde and progressive music using synthesizers such as Roland System 700, Roland system 100M and Minimoog (Jacula, Antonius Rex). In December 1980 she recorded, at the Fontana Studio 7 (Milan), her first solo album entitled Under Ground (Musik Research). Sponsored by Apple computer and the Roland Corporation music instruments, she was more involved in experimental electro computerized music and recorded, after Parapsycho (1981), in the same year Raptus with the help of Antonius Rex, Lorenz Schulze and Tullio De Piscopo.

Doris Norton is really an Italian Icon of Experimental Electronic Music...a sort of Klaus Schulze in Italian land!
