Well, everything sound like it was as wonderful as hoped for. Congratulations Stephen!
I was at a rehearsal and arrived home in time to watch Steve Roach tear down. Awesome strike!
Have I also missed the video replays?
Enjoyed your blog post Jeff. You conveyed the nice vibes and doubled my sense of wishing I was there!

In a "keep in touch" e-mail with Gigi a couple of years ago I was telling him how I was being distracted from album completions by my activities in photography, videos and poetry. I included an earlier version of this poem which I thought was appropriate for him because of the title. His comments were kind and had poetry of their own. Now with his passing, for me the piece will always be bonded with him.
mare umbra
the celestial lakes
coalesce and rise
beyond the vortex
where the world is drawn
to the silence of the moon
and within the precision and detail
of its introspection to birth
an atmosphere of enigma
and the sound of rain

Besides the joke, I'd also like to say that the slow and constant ramping of tension reminded me of one of my favourite authors - Charles de Lint.

Well, the characters are obviously based in reality. Lia = Lina and Mészáros = David Darling.

I'm lucky to have a regular diet of delicious ambient music here at THE AMBiENT PiNG but this looks like quite a feast! If I wasn't a country and pretty-much a continent away I'd be in line for a heaping helping.

Man! Why not the Irish electronic music scene? That's one I sure could use some information about.

For non-purists - the iMS-20 iPad version is half-price ($15) this week.
It's very, very good and you can apply a MIDI controller to all the knobs.

With its USB out - it will probably be a good controller for the Korg MS-20 VST which sounds pretty darn good and patches are savable, though with an awkward save/load interface. It will be the perfect way to compare the sounds of the analog vs VST by programming them both from the front panel at the same time.

I go back and forth on Lux depending on the listening context.
The special edition of Drums Between the Bells has a second all instrumental remix version which I like a lot. Again, I like the poetry version when the moment is right.

Yeah! Those Floratone albums are wonderful. Lynn and I like to keep them in the car as they're great music for driving around the city.

This is quite a push into the downward spiral for CDs.

I appreciated the change in the last couple of years to the DigiPaks with spines and have tried to support them with my orders.
I strongly disliked the spineless Secret Sound packaging and found myself disinclined to buy them after a while - despite the good intentions for keeping the prices lower.
More panels in the DigiPaks means little to me unless the artwork demands it. This customer is happy with your current "product".
How about Lyric Sheets?
