Some synth spotting with gregaeYT

"Three short audio sketches inspired by the music by by Tangerine Dream - part of a forthcoming live performance at the National Electronics Museum in Linthicum, Maryland, USA on 24 March, 2012.

"Pursuing The Dream" is for Tangerine Dream fans everywhere - the dream is alive!"

Some additional details from Greg:

"Viewing Suit & Tie Guy’s recent post on the deconstruction of Tangerine Dream’s 'Love On a Real Train' got me thinking about my own attempt at this song last year. That song was done as a part of a live performance called 'Pursuing the Dream' held on March 24, 2012, at the National Electronics Museum in Linthicum, Maryland, USA:

The museum performance was loosely based on a video of TanDream sketches that was created some six months prior. Although there’s no audio from the museum show, the video of the original sketches can still be viewed on YouTube

All of the instruments that appear in the video were used in the recording, although they show up in a somewhat random order. For anyone interested in the specifics, I didn’t document the instruments that were used, but I do recall the following:

For ‘Stratosphere’, a Kurzweil K2500 and Voyager provided the lead sounds. I believe the sequence was also done with the Voyager.

For ‘Purple Waves’, a Yamaha FS1R module played the underlying Harp sequence, while a Yahama CS15 provided the lead, a Kurzweil PC3 produced the fretless bass, and a Roland V-Synth (with a D-50 card) provided a bit of ornamentation.

Finally, for ‘Love On a Real Train’, a Doepfer Dark Energy module (processed through a E-H Small Stone Phaser) played the sequence from a Future Retro Mobius sequencer, while the PC3 and Korg Karma produced the various bass, pad and electric piano sounds.

Other instruments, including the Prophet 08 and Creamware Prodyssey ASB, were also pressed into service at various points."
