Beaver & Krause Grace Cathedral Performance (1971)
Published on May 17, 2018 Moog Music Inc
"As one half of the electronic duo Beaver & Krause, Bernie Krause performed with the newly invented Moog synthesizer on hundreds of popular recording sessions through the late 60s and early 70s -- contributing the electronic sounds of the future to albums from The Doors, The Monkees, the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Neil Young, and The Beach Boys.
Over two nights in in January of 1971, Bernie Krause recorded his Moog Synthesizer IIIp in Grace Cathedral -- with a reverberation time of 7 seconds -- for the Beaver & Krause album Gandharva.
This archive footage, unreleased for nearly 50 years, shows Bernie Krause and Paul Beaver in collaboration with the Gandharva ensemble during their live session in the Grace Cathedral. Krause set up mics throughout the entire church and asked the musicians to walk through the nave as they performed, emphasizing the illusion of space on the recording.
Bernie Krause is the recipient of the 2018 Moog Innovation Award -- presented at Moogfest 2018, the annual music, art and technology festival in Durham, North Carolina. This award recognizes over 50 years of visionary work that has redefined our understanding of creativity and deepened the possibilities that can be shared between human and machine.
