Episode 169 Chapter 28, Moog Analog Synthesizers, Part 2. Works Recommended from my book, Electronic and Experimental Music  Welcome to the Archive of Electronic Music. This is Thom Holmes.

Send us a message, so we know what you're thinking!Why do you like the music you do?  Is it as simple as “It's what I heard on the radio”? Or something deeper? People with elder siblings may be exposed to music earlier than first children.   Jeff had an older brother, so was exposed earlier to cool music - Beatles, Janis, Hendrix, and so on.  Mick was the eldest in his family and had to find his own taste.

Thinking of Stevie Winwood, after hearing a Rick Wakeman interview.

Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller Mark was back this week and we welcomed YMP listener and Patron Jon Pickles onto the show to talk about the time he was a 'tea boy' at Trident Studios in London. You'll need to listen to the interview to hear all about it but Trident was the world-renowned studio where, amongst unnumbered highlights of rock music, Yes recorded overdubs for their first album, Queen recorded their first two albums and The Beatles recorded Let It Be and other seminal songs. Listen out for stories about Rick Wakeman, Bill Bruford, Trevor Horn and many more! A screenshot from the video below showing Trident Studios - note the control room above and the Bechstein Grand piano used by Rick Wakeman, Paul McCartney etc. What did Jon have to do as a 'tea boy'? Who did he meet and work with? What was it like being in Soho in those days? Let us know if you agree with us!

Ever wondered what Rick Wakeman is best known for? What David Bowie songs he played on? Or what he's up to today? Tune in now to find out answers to these questions and lots more .... Rick Wakeman is a pioneering English keyboardist, composer, and producer celebrated for his virtuosity and innovation in progressive rock and beyond. Born in London, Rick showed prodigious talent from an early age, studying piano and honing his craft at the Royal College of Music. His career began as a sought-after session musician, working with icons like David Bowie—creating the unforgettable piano part for "Life on Mars?"—and Cat Stevens, where his contributions to hits like "Morning Has Broken" showcased his melodic brilliance. In 1971, Rick joined the progressive rock band Yes, bringing a new dimension to their sound with his mastery of keyboards and synthesizers. His work on albums like Fragile, Close to the Edge, and the ambitious Tales from Topographic Oceans are heralded as some of the finest in the genre. His use of cutting-edge equipment and his larger-than-life stage persona, often featuring capes and elaborate setups, became trademarks of the band's success during the '70s. Parallel to his tenure with Yes, Rick launched a groundbreaking solo career. His debut album, The Six Wives of Henry VIII, was a daring instrumental concept piece blending rock, classical, and historical themes. This was followed by Journey to the Centre of the Earth, a symphonic rock masterpiece recorded with a full orchestra and choir, and The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, which featured lavish live performances on ice. Rick's career has been marked by constant reinvention. After leaving and rejoining Yes multiple times, he expanded his repertoire with a diverse array of solo projects, film and TV scores, and collaborations with artists like Black Sabbath, Lou Reed, and Elton John. His music transcends genres, blending rock, classical, jazz, and even comedic elements, reflecting his eclectic influences and creative restlessness. Beyond music, Rick has become a beloved figure in the entertainment world, known for his sharp wit and engaging personality. He has appeared on television shows, hosted radio programs, and written books, further endearing himself to fans worldwide. Despite health challenges, including heart issues and a diabetes diagnosis, Wakeman remains an active performer, continuing to tour and record new material. Rick Wakeman's contributions to music are vast and enduring, influencing countless musicians and redefining what keyboards can achieve in rock. From his seminal work with Yes to his genre-defying solo projects, Wakeman's career is a testament to innovation, passion, and the boundless possibilities of music.

Yes had achieved chart success in the U.S. beginning with their third LP, The Yes Album. Original keyboard player Tony Kaye would be let go after that album, with former Strawbs keyboard player Rick Wakeman joining in mid-1971. Both the albums Fragile and Close to the Edge would be considered both fan and critical favorites, with a successful tour a triple-album live album and concert film in Yessongs. However, during that tour drummer Bill Bruford left for King Crimson and was replaced by Alan White, and Jon Anderson and Steve Howe began working on new music that would become one of the band's most controversial albums - Tales from Topographic Oceans.

75 años después, la obra de Orwell es ya de “dominio público”. Se multiplican ahora las ediciones de "1984" y ha vuelto a aparecer en las listas de los libros más vendidos. La clásica distopía de Orwell parece escrita para una época como la nuestra, donde la posverdad y los “hechos alternativos” se han vuelto a apoderar de la política. El escritor británico – cuyo nombre real era Eric Blair (1903-1959) – descubrió en España el lado oscuro del comunismo y ahora nos muestra la otra cara del capitalismo. Nos hace preguntarnos qué es la verdad, ¿la opinión de la mayoría, que nos marca el Gran Hermano, determinada por los índices de audiencia? ¿O la que nos da la libertad de decir lo que la gente no quiere oír? En este programa "Al Trasluz" escuchamos fragmentos del libro, leído por Eugenio Barona y la película británica que hizo Michael Radford, ese mismo año con John Hurt y Richard Burton. Oímos escenas de un documental sobre Orwell de la BBC y canciones inspiradas en el libro de David Bowie (1984 y Big Brother) en su disco de 1974 (Diamond Dogs), así como la que hizo el dúo británico de "tecno-pop" Erythmics ese mismo año 1984, sobre el personaje de Julia en el álbum del mismo título de la novela. La música instrumental está también toda ella, inspirada en el libro, desde la Obertura de Rick Wakeman (antes de Yes) hasta la Suite de Robert O. Blong y sus temas instrumentales "Donde no hay oscuridad", "Dos más dos", "El tema de Julia", "La mujer" y "¡Qué dure la fiesta!". Al hablar de la guerra civil española suena el tema popular de "A las barridas" y al final, una composición de Anthony Phillips (antes de Genesis) sobre el libro, (Ascension), todo ello escrito y narrado por José de Segovia con la realización técnica de Daniel Panduro.

EPISODE 123: Larry Fast is best known for his series of pioneering electronic music albums recorded under the project name SYNERGY. He is also recognized for his decade of work with Peter Gabriel, playing synthesizer on recordings and tours, and rounding out the production team on many of Peter's albums. During his career Larry has worked as an electronic music composer/arranger and producer contributing to numerous platinum-selling recordings with world-renown artists. Performers as diverse as Nektar, Bonnie Tyler, Foreigner, Hall & Oates,  Annie Haslam (Renaissance), The Strawbs, Meat Loaf, Barbra Streisand, and many others have called on Larry's electronic production talents. Larry's media experience stems from decades of projects for companies such as Disney, XM Satellite Radio and Tribune Broadcasting, and contributing to documentary and feature film projects. Larry is co-producer and co-writing historian for the documentary film Saving The Great Swamp airing on PBS about a conflict more than 50 years ago seeking to stop construction of a massive jetport. With a degree in history from Lafayette College plus additional studies in architecture and engineering technology, Larry has been appointed to several government historic preservation positions. As a technology history specialist, Larry serves on the board of the Thomas Edison National Historic Park and EMEAPP.org. His developments in infrared audio technology have earned him several patents.  http://synergy-emusic.comContact us: makingsoundpodcast.comFollow on Instagram: @makingsoundpodcastFollow on Threads: @jannkloseJoin our Facebook GroupPlease support the show with a donation, thank you for listening!

This is a re-release of our original episode #311 on 9/4/23: Connecting with David Cousins of The Strawbs for this episode was a different experience for both of the Imbalanced Brothers. Ray was a fan of the band from the 1970s, when Markus was still a younger kid! So they each approached this interview, and the new album, differently. The result is a very exciting take on a classic band making their way back up the UK charts with The Magic Of It All, how they got there, as well as how South Africa now, and then, became central to the project. Dave shares some incredible stuff for guitar and banjo players regarding tunings, tells tales of Sandy Denny and Rick Wakeman, and capped the visit by revealing that a collaboration with members of Wu-Tang Clan is in motion.

TormatoBook.com Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller Before we start, I'd like to thank everyone who has taken part in the Presale for my new book, the Tales from Topographic Oceans Listening Guide. It's gone really well and I can now afford to commission book covers, pay for production costs and licences for essential photographs and so on. The Presale is still open to those who have signed up to the e-newsletter over at tormatobook.com and to all YMP Patrons. If you are yet to sign up for the e-newsletter, you'll receive a message telling you how to access the presale as soon as you subscribe. Remember that the presale is the only way to purchase signed copies of the forthcoming book and you'll also receive an exclusive mini-pack of book-based memorabilia. What could be better? So make sure you don't miss the opportunity to be the proud owner of those fine extras. Finally, almost all the Executive Producer slots have been snapped up. At time of recording this episode there are just 7 remaining so if you'd like to see your name printed towards the front of the Tales book as an official Executive Producer, you'd better get in quickly. This week, Mark and I were going to talk about our favourite pieces of Yes-related equipment but unfortunately Mark was unavailable in the end due to an emergency situation with his dog, Shadow. So, instead, here is a chapter of the audiobook version of my book, Yes - The Tormato Story that deals with one of the pieces of Yes kit I probably would have mentioned anyway - Rick Wakeman's Birotron. Incidentally, the audiobook is still available from Audible, Spotify and other fine purveyors of that digital format. As one kind review said about my first foray into authorship which, incidentally, he believes is, “presented as a teenage fan essay”, the audio version is delivered with what he calls a, “clipped late night Radio 2 circa 1990 style”. Hopefully that won't put you off too much. What was the world's rarest instrument? How was Rick Wakeman involved with it? How does Chris Dale all this? Let us know if you agree with us!

Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller Mark and I had a lot of fun talking about a remarkable video suggested by Rachel Hadaway this week. From a BBC programme called Sounding Out, it features live show footage and interviews with the band from 1971, shortly after Rick Wakeman joined. It's full of period charm, as they say, and thankfully available on YouTube now. You might want to watch it before listening to Mark and me banging on about it - or you might not. If you do, there's a video embedded in the show notes below. https://youtu.be/sr9j5pbKHGA?si=XBIfp51Dz8sh3nUT How does the band sound? What is the venue like?

Send us a Text Message.Richard Leibowitz grew up in the Hudson Valley of New York to a father who listened to pre-1960s jazz and a mother who was more into folk music. Neither held much sway for young Richard, so he set out on his own and like a million other kids his age, KISS was the starting point for his music obsessions. Before working at Tower Records, Richard started working for Musicland while in college. Talking to a former bandmate who had signed on with Tower, Richard applied for and got the position of Store Artist in the Nanuet Store. Richard eventually moved up to the position of Record Sales Manager, a position he held both in Nanuet and in Carle Place. But Richard's time at Tower was something of a mixed bag. He got to attend one of the Tower Annual Conferences but what he remembers most is getting busted by Stan Goman for not attending a mandatory Human Resources meeting because he was hungover. He held the position of Record Sales Manager, but when he applied for that position in other, larger stores he didn't land those gigs. He eventually left the company, sick of 3-hour commutes and all that came with it. But thinking back on it, Richard met some. pretty cool people. He met Neil Young in a zombie-like state from smoking David Crosby's weed. He had lunch with the classic YES lineup complete with Rick Wakeman bowing down to him and other Tower employees. And do you want to know the connection a white guy from the suburbs has to Biggie and Tupac? You'll have to listen to this week's episode to find out.

Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) are with guest Brad Birzer. Brad is the Russell Amos Kirk Chair in American Studies and Professor of History at Hillsdale College. He is also the co-founder of and Senior Contributor at The Imaginative Conservative, and the author of a number of books, including Neil Peart: Cultural (Re)Percussions. Find him online at bradbirzer.com or @bradleybirzer on Twitter.Brad's Music Pick: YesTell the moon dog, tell the march hare! We take you close to the edge of the south side of the sky this week as we discuss the early adventures of Britain's answer to all the questions raised by hippies during the Seventies, the New Age of Atlantic: Yes. Yes were one of the pillars of British progressive rock music, but also (perhaps surprisingly) a major commercial success in America long before their peers. They were also a truly singular band during their lengthy heyday; the band underwent endless lineup changes as personalities clashed and artistic visions ran amok, and yet they have always sounded like themselves and nobody else successfully has.Starting with local janitor Jon Anderson on countertenor vocals, Pete Banks on Hendrixian guitar, Tony Kaye on groovy late-Sixties B3 organ, fussily precise jazz drummer Bill Bruford keeping time, and Chris Squire playing a bass so aggressive it intimidates people into crossing to the other side of the street, Yes exploded out of London's club-gigging scene after drawing inspiration from watching a newly born King Crimson play the circuit. Their early style mixed originals -- first halting, then increasingly assured -- with spectacularly imaginative covers of everything from West Side Story to Buffalo Springfield and Simon & Garfunkel. But as Banks was jettisoned for Steve Howe, and then Tony Kaye traded in for Rick Wakeman, Yes ascended from a series of records beginning with The Yes Album and Fragile (1971) to superstardom, with all that entailed: sidelong songs, triple live albums, and extended soaks in the topographic oceans. All set to some of the most inscrutable lyrics but gorgeous music written during the decade.So turn on your lava lamp and get ready to call over valleys of endless seas as you and I climb crossing the shape of the morning -- it's time to sink into a elevated musical fantasy world created by Yes during this, the first part of their career. We take the story up through Tales from Topographic Oceans (1973); next time around, we'll get a relayer to go for the one without too much drama, but for now click play and enjoy the sound of perpetual change. 

Liberty DeVittoBorn and raised in New York City, USA… Liberty's drumming journey began at the tender age of 14, when he was first inspired to play after watching the now world famous Ed Sullivan performance by the Beatles back  in 1964… He never looked back since then, eventually working his way up the ranks to that coveted hot seat with Billy Joel, forming a fruitful musical bond that would span decades and bring along many hit albums along the way.Liberty is In addition to his work with Joel, DeVitto has also been an active session musician working with other big acts such as Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Roger Daltrey, Carly Simon, Phoebe Snow, Karen Carpenter, Stevie Nicks, Rick Wakeman, Bob James, Meat Loaf and many, many more.Liberty is currently playing with a multitude of artists both live and in the studio, with The Lords of 52nd St and Slim Kings among others.The country artist Liberty refers to in the end is Faith Hill when he mentions the song "This Kiss"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-lords-of-52nd-streetthe-original-billy-joel-band-tickets-860599344807?aff=oddtdtcreatorhttps://www.libertydrums.com/pages/artist-liberty-devittohttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057593854157https://www.instagram.com/liberty_devitto/
