Recording

Earth Tones was the first significant piece of electroacoustic music I wrote in graduate school (1978), and was created using a 4-track recorder, a Moog Mark IV, an Arp 2600 with sequencer and an EchoPlex (analog echo). It’s now become an homage to the wonderful synth sounds of the 1970s and to the meeting point between contemporary concert music and progressive rock — a place I’ve been exploring and mining now for decades. Thanks for the memories.
