I sadly learned today that Edgar Froese the founder and creative genius behind the band Tangerine Dream had passed away. Most of you have probably never heard of this group or its music, but you really have. Edgar Froses and Tangerine Dream have provided the soundtrack for countless films for over thirty years.
I first fell in love with this band in college when my roommate was playing the LP “Rubycon”. Atmospheric, dark, other worldly, those are just a few of the adjectives that describe their music. In later years their sound would become a bit more mainstream and laid the way for many of the current “trance” bands and performers.
Thankfully this has been a prolific band and they produced many, many, exceptional LPs and CDs. Their music may not be for everyone, but it has been the soundtrack for my life since the early 1970’s.
I dreamed of one day seeing them in concert. That will never happen now. “The dream is always the same”.

Lowe has often performed under the moniker of Lichens. and in collaboration with Ben Russell, Ben Rivers, Rose Lazar, Hisham Akira Bharoocha, Tarek Atoui, Ben Vida, Mark Borthwick, Lucky Dragons, Alan Licht, Michael Zerang, Doug Aitken, Patrick Smith, Monica Baptista, Lee Ranaldo, White/Light, Kevin Martin, OM, Tyondai Braxton, David Scott Stone, Genesis P-Orridge and Rose Kallal, as well as many others.

Masterclass with Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith + Mark Verbos
Monday, April 14, 2016
MUSC 275
Instructor: Eugene Lew
----
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith's formative years were spent communing with nature on Orcas Island in the northwest region of Washington state, a place she describes as "one of the most magical and peaceful places I have ever been." Though she wouldn't begin experimenting with modular synthesis until many years later, her creative work continues to be infused with and inspired by the vitality and serenity of Orcas.
Smith left the island to attend Berklee College of Music, where she studied composition and sound engineering, initially focusing on her voice as her primary instrument, before switching to classical guitar and piano. She employed many of the skills she refined in college in her indie-folk band Ever Isles, but a fateful encounter with a neighbor who lent her a Buchla 100 synthesizer, had a profound effect on her. Mesmerized by the Buchla’s potential, she explains "I got so distracted and enamored with the process of making sounds with it that I abandoned the next Ever Isles album." Starting with rhythmic patterns and melodic pulses, she soon began sculpting lush and exciting worlds of sound.
-----
Mark Verbos is a music producer/engineer and music equipment technician with 20 years of experience. He is known to the synth community for his work with vintage Buchla systems as well as custom modules that work with them. His designs are focused on discrete transistor circuits, hardware CMOS logic and various vintage electronics design techniques, however they are presented with an understanding of how modular gear is used by this generation.

All masterclasses are free and open to the public.

: An exquisite mix of art, music, and food.
: A growing family.
_________________________________
The Concept:
As a culture, we have found ourselves entwined with the exponential growth of technology. Our everyday lives are entangled with the necessity for electronic machines, digital devices, chiming alerts, charging ports, LED screens and high speed connectivity.
This summer, we are extending the invitation for you to come unplug with us.
For three days and two nights, we will power down the communication devices and engage in conversation without texting. We will eat meals by the fire and connect socially without the social network. We will appreciate nature in its true form: up close and personal, without the pixels.
We welcome you to our tribal village.
_________________________________
The Intent:
Our intention as a Tribe is to provide you with an experience from which you can take inspiration and knowledge back into your everyday lives and create a better world for yourself and those around you
_______________________________________
The Atmosphere:
-Immersive decoration installation by Fractaltribe
-Visuals by Levitation Theory
-Sound by Sonic Beating
-Acoustic Jam Session hosted by YOU. Bring your drums, noise creators and music makers!
-Community meal served by Fractaltribe Saturday night and Sunday morning.
-Sustainability workshop by Ben Vilner
*Hands-on group workshop with full interaction on creating your own vegetable/fruit raised-garden - planning, sun exposure, planting, watering, and maintaining a healthy crop. Plan to get your hands DIRTy as we install a garden bed on site.
*The vital and importance of a rain collecting/harvesting roof systems, which was installed on site - a walk through the installations will be conducted with questions and answers.
*Cob stomping and structure fabrication hosted by Ben Vilner: a participatory community creation by YOU

'Modifiers', 'Frequency cutoff, 'emphasis' 'envelope', - a whole new vocabulary for musicians in 1970.
Designed by Robert Moog in 1970, the Minimoog Model D synthesizer is still regarded as the Rolls Royce equivalent of analog keyboard-based synthesizers. Specifically designed for touring musicians, the minimoog exported electronic music experiments from university labs out to the masses - and her deep farting bass-sounds (think of Kraftwerk's Autobahn), lead and space bleeps and sweeps have become HUGELY popular over the last 38 years.
There were originally 13,000 minimoogs produced between 1970 and 1981. After a brief hiatus during the digital-synth craze in the 1980s, the minimoog enjoyed a resurgence of interest among musicians since the 1990s...and yes, it's becoming harder to get a hold on one.
I obtained this Mini from a studio garage sale back in 1989 for US$ 150 (in prime condition - save the crackling external input knob). After lying dormant for 7 years now, it's time to bring life back into this 1973 model D mini. Tropical humidity heavily damaged the furnishing. It needs re-tuning of the oscillators, cleaning of the electronic board, new switches for filter modulation, and thinking about a new base panel.
Electronic Music by
Carlos - Lewin-Richter - Mimaroglu - Avni
1. Lewin-Richter: Study No 1 (3'40)
2. Mimaroglu: Le Tombeau d'Edgar Poe (7'16)(1964)
3. Mimaroglu: Intermezzo (3'07)

6. Carlos: Variations for Flute & Electronic Sound (4'02)(1964)
7. Carlos: Dialogues for Piano and 2 Loudspeakers (4'06)(1963)
LP Turnabout, TV 34004S, 1965
Bought the LP 5.3.1971. 8 mk S:joki (Finland) legendary Record Shop in 1971.
Wonder how it ever got there??
Knew already Carlos' Bach versions, so this supposed to be a good catch...
but no! It's horrible, the so called "academic" and from "art-music" derived
electronic music which was/is in the 60's very boring, cold and dull.
Specially Mimarogly (who ever s/he is). The Carlos piano & flute experiments are though a bit interesting...
Anyhow I've kept the record all these years... And finally transformed it
into MP3 to my computer.
More discusson about this record:
