The aim of this article is to analyse the relationship between bioacoustics, electronic sound production, and popular music. The electronic revolution in music production in the mid-1960s, inspired by the invention of electronic musical instruments for sound synthesis (Moog, Buchla, ARP Odyssey), was given a prominent place not only in the academic avant-garde laboratories but also in the popular music market, resulting in the emergence of new musical genres and challenging the classical instruments of rock music (guitar, bass, drums). However, abstract electronic sounds and sound-objects ‘discovered’ by rock and roll artists inevitably required new points of reference transcending beyond the existing canon (blues – classical music). One of them was to imitate (through synthesisers) or employ (through bioacoustic recordings) the sounds of insects as adequate equivalents of the ‘sound masses’ generated by electronic instruments and commonly used sound effects. It resulted in a significant re-evaluation of music production and the relationship between popular culture and avant-garde art.
