SYNERGY - LARRY FAST - DELTA TWO

YouTube via arrozconhuesitos01. on Amazon

"SYNERGY
ALBUM: GAMES.
THEME: DELTA TWO.

Larry Fast (Lawrence R. Fast) is a synthesizer expert and composer. He is best known for Synergy, his 1975-1987 series of synthesizer music albums, and for his contribution to a number of popular music acts, including Peter Gabriel, Foreigner, and Hall and Oates.

Fast grew up in Livingston, New Jersey and attended Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, where he obtained a degree in History. There he took his previous training in piano and violin and melded them with computer science to become interested in synthesized music and to build his own primitive sound-making electronic devices.

He was introduced to Rick Wakeman, the keyboard player from the band Yes during a local radio interview, and traveled to the UK to work with Yes on their 1974 album Tales from Topographic Oceans. It was there that he got a recording contract with Passport Records.

[edit] The Synergy project
Fast recorded a series of pioneering synthesizer music albums under the project name Synergy. Some of this work was used as the basis for music in Commodore 64 and Amiga computer games, notably Rob Hubbard's score for the C64 version of Zoids, which was an unofficial cover of Synergy's Ancestors from the 1981 album Audion.

The first album in the series, Electronic Realizations for Rock Orchestra, was released as an LP in 1975. In the following decade, he released eight more Synergy LPs on Passport Records, all of which were later re-released on CDs. The tenth album in the series, Reconstructed Artifacts, was released in 2002, and contained completely new performances of select compositions from the previous albums, using modern digital synthesizers.

The albums in this series, with original release date, are:

Electronic Realizations for Rock Orchestra, 1975
Sequencer, 1976
Cords, 1978
Games, 1979
Audion, 1981
Computer Experiments, Volume One, 1981
The Jupiter Menace (sound track of film The Jupiter Menace), 1982
Semi-Conductor (compilation with two new tracks), 1984
Metropolitan Suite, 1987
Reconstructed Artifacts, 2002"

KORG 700 MINIKORG - HQ SOUND DEMO

YouTube via AnalogAudio1
"The monophonic Minikorg 700 was the first synthesizer from Korg. It has 1 VCO, 1 "traveler" filter (12 dB, highpass/lowpass) 1 envelope and 1 LFO. It has a very special sound - some like it, others don't - I love it.

It was used by Vangelis in the seventies. Also it was Kitaro's favourite synthesizer.
I played the Minikorg with Lexicon MPX 500 reverb and Roland DEP-5 delay."

Stolen Gear Recovered!!!

see this post for reference

via Jeremy of MODEL WORKER:
"Through some very odd circumstances (miracle?) all of our synths have returned to us,
it seems largely related to them finding the post you put up for us. After over a month we had figured they were probably gone forever... It all came back packed neatly in the back of a van.

Attached is a pic of 1 half of the gear before it was stuffed into 1 of two cars to take it back home."
