He was a wonderful composer who explored the limits of electronic music and taught me to do the same. I'm sorry I was not able to see him at his recent concert here in San Jose. I talked to him on the phone about it, but was unable to make Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242685558578337603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17775202.post-38773689831848273082008-02-25T16:41:00.000-08:002008-02-25T16:41:00.000-08:00From the Family of Allen Strange.

Allen was the best teacher one could have. He was so encouraging and introduced me to Don, so I could spend all my money on a Buchla. Allen, Don, Pat, Mort and others in the Electric Weasel Ensemble played in my Santa Cruz Electronic Music Festivals (1982, 1983). I will miss him as I do my other great composer friend, Richard Zvonar.RabArthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620186165439786114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17775202.post-18610392382401172122008-02-22T10:29:00.000-08:002008-02-22T10:29:00.000-08:00I had the joy of interviewing Dr. Strange in 1999 ...I had the joy of interviewing Dr. Strange in 1999 about Just Intonation and synthesis<BR/><BR/>Keep it 1/1!<BR/><BR/>Patrick Pagano<BR/>University of FloridaPatrick Paganohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153797772131977191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17775202.post-28064026339750969852008-02-21T16:48:00.000-08:002008-02-21T16:48:00.000-08:00I heard of this early this morning.. it's really h...I heard of this early this morning.. it's really horrible news. <BR/><BR/>I've met Allen in 1976.
