The ARP Centennial Celebration continues...

via the Alan R Pearlman Foundation

"June through October were busy months for us here at the Foundation. We celebrated Alan's 100th Birthday with a whole slew of events, including a new exhibit at EMEAPP/Museum of Music Technology, and the NAMM Museum of Making Music. Arriving in the UK on September 26, we exhibited at Machina Bristronica in Bristol... we had a special raffle of a meticulously restored vintage ARP Pro Soloist, personally signed by Tony Banks, legendary keyboardist of Genesis, to benefit the Foundation... we were part of the London Synthesizer show at The Musical Museum in London, and we capped it off with visits to both The Townshend Studio and Peter Gabriel's Real World Studio. WHEW!

Check out the full list of past events, and visit the Centennial Gallery."
