about

Early in 2010 I was lucky to spend some time wth Morton Subotnick and catch his duo with my old friend Lillevan from Rechenzentrum... For the first time that night I heard a Buchla played live.
A few months later, while I was playing with Faust @ the Avant-Garde festival, I was lucky to attend 2 shows from Richard Lainhart. I was totally entranced by the beauty of his musc and really enjoyed spending time with him and his wife Caroline Meyers. We stayed in touch and in april 2011 played together at Alfa Art Gallery, NY... Richard died on 30 December 2011, much too soon... And so it is with great emotion and pride that I present this Session, a more than deserved tribute, as his music remains immortal.

He was one of the seminal figures in contemporary American electronic music, composing more than 150 works over the course of nearly four decades. Originally from Vestal, NY, Lainhart earned his degree in music from the State University at New York at Albany, where he studied composition and electronic music with composer Joel Chadabe. Besides his own works, he worked and performed with such new music luminaries as John Cage, David Tudor, Steve Reich, Phill Niblock, Rhys Chatham and Jordan Rudess, among many others.
His distinctive sound was characterized by organic textures inspired by natural phenomena, such as clouds, water and fire, typically arranged in minimalist structures and treated with microscopically observed harmonies. These explorations dated to the early 1970s and pre-figured the electronica, ambient, trance and other sound art movements that would eventually celebrate him as an aesthetic figurehead.

One of the only artists who's work I will buy immediately without previewing. The kind of music that feels like it was conjured in some sort of incantation rather than created by human hands. Olli is a blessing ghosttropics

What Remains
by Steve Roach

supported by 8 fans who also own “Modulisme Session 101”

If I wanted to point someone to Steve Roach's music, I'd start them here. This record spans some of Roach's signature styles, like the percolating synths in "Currents of Compassion", the dreamy abstraction of "Prometheus Passage", the tribal rhythms of "The Gone Place", and the elegiac majesty of "What Remains". It's stunning all around and guaranteed to make any day better. fyeahmetal
