Ran Kirlian – Pluto

via RanKirlian:

Improvisation with Doepfer System & Roland Jupiter 4

Doepfer sequence done only with VCO (A-111) + quad LFO (A-143-2) + Xtreme filter (A-106-1) while JP4 goes into Doepfer XP Multimode Filter (A-106-6)

It sounds just as it was recorded directly to minidisc with Kaoss Pad 3 on the echoes.

Deep ambient artist Steve Roach has announced his only 2008 performance:

DEEP SKY DREAMING — October 25, 2008 in Flagstaff, Arizona. This concert is sponsored by the Flagstaff Dark Skies Coalition and will be presented in an intimate 200-seat theater at the Coconino Center for the Arts.

Tickets will go on sale by late April for this special event at this beautiful destination locale.

I haven’t had the chance to see Roach live – because he never seems to come anywhere near the Midwest – but this should be a great opportunity to see one of the ambient/space music masters in action.

A forum member sent me info about an upcoming performance by ambient space music master Steve Roach, being held at at Grace Cathedral: Mystic Chords and Deep Immersions.

Roach plans to present an evening of pure, expansive soundscapes. His atmospheric works should be a perfect match for the reverberant acoustics and sacred space of the Cathedral.

Lynn Augstein (Cobalt Sun) is handling lighting and video art.

Sounds like it will be a great concert. Here are the details:

Grace Cathedral
1100 California Street (at Taylor, atop Nob Hill)
San Francisco, California
(415) 749-6300

Friday, June 29, 2007

There will be tickets at the door.

You can find out about future Steve Roach concerts at his site.

Note to Steve – it’s time to perform a concert somewhere in the Midwest….

Formication has released its latest project, Pieces for a Condemned Piano, as a free download.

According to Formication,  the music “came about when we discovered an abandoned piano in a car park. The piano was unplayable but we managed to obtain 13 samples from the remains. These samples became the 45 minutes of music presented as the eulogy of a tragically neglected instrument.”

The entire CD is available for download, including the track Exit.
