Free Music Friday: Synthesist Richard Lainhart shared this live synth improvisation, recorded at electro-music 2010, Huguenot, NY, September 12, 2010.

Here’s what he has to say about the performance:

This track is completely improvised in realtime without backing tracks or edits, and is for Buchla 200e controlled by a Haken Continuum multi-dimensional keyboard.

All the sounds heard here are from the Buchla, with the exception of the flute-like sound at the end, which is one of the Continuum’s physical modeling instruments called Slide Wind. The ghost echo behind the Slide Wind sound is from the 200e.
