A ten minute Trance track inspired by the recent addition of Moog Subharmonicon and DFAM modules added into the new upper case of my Eurorack system. I haven’t owned a Moog product since I sold my MiniMoog around 1984 (one of my two great music gear regrets). I also almost owned a complete Moog System 55 in the late 90’s but I couldn’t raise the $1,600 that the late, great Robb Earls was asking, even though it was an absolute …

Abandoner Remix
This is a remix project that I made a while ago and decided to add visuals now for submitting the track to YouTube.

I visited in October 1989 while attending a training course for audio console manufacturer Solid State Logic in Begbroke, not far from Oxford.
I also spent time in London and was very lucky to …

January 2000, Robert Fripp held a four hour Q&A session at our studio that also included a listening party playing tracks from the then-unreleased King Crimson album “The ConstruKction of Light”. I admire Robert not only for his musicianship and musical vision, but also for his teachings and philosophies regarding life and work.
Roughly 70 people attended the Nashville event from as far away as Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Georgia and Louisiana. The session lasted almost four hours and included …
