"Veronica Vasicka is a photographer, musician, DJ and founder of the epic record label and on-line music resource Minimal Wave. As one of the founding members of East Village Radio, she managed the station during its pirate days and began collecting obscure and long forgotten gems that fell somewhere between the Cold Wave, Post Punk and Minimal Synth genres. Not knowing what to classify these bands as, she coined the genre Minimal Wave and set up the website Minimalwave.org as an online resource to share her finds with the rest of the world. The response to the website was huge and shortly after its launch, Veronica began tracking these artists down and re-issuing their work on the Minimal Wave label. Most of these bands recorded extremely limited copies of their work in their basements and shared their work with the world via John Peel's radio show and a handful of underground music mailings. The music released on the label is a stripped down, DIY and purer approach to mainstream synth pop. Never-the-less, fans of New Wave acts, and bands like Kraftwerk, New Order, and Joy Division who are seeking something a bit different or looking to expand upon the familiar genre, will not be disappointed. In addition to running Minimal Wave, Veronica launched the Cititrax label as way to expose newer synth-based act as well as obscure House and Italo classics. She DJs bi-monthly around New York City and every Sunday night on her East Village Radio show, Minimal Electronik Plus."

"Minimal Wave: both a genre of underground DIY electronic music from North America and Europe in the late 1970s and 80s, and the name of the label devoted to unearthing these recordings. The Minimal Wave Tapes is the first official anthology (on CD, LP and digital) of Minimal Wave music from this label. Most of the songs were originally released on limited edition cassettes or vinyl by the artists themselves, and only a handful of people knew about them. They’ve been remastered from their analog source tapes and compiled here by Minimal Wave's Veronica Vasicka and Stones Throw's Peanut Butter Wolf. The double LP version is now exclusively available via Stones Throw and Minimal Wave. Purchase it here. Now available on CD. Release date world: January 26, 2010."

Heavy Wood Improv 012 Op.4160: 2008, A Spock Odyssey

"Spock deeply listens to the trance like tranquil wail of the singing Vulcan Organ Orchestra (Yamaha D-85 Electone) which Barry Warne composed."

"Blade Runner end credits theme - quicky on the Yamaha Electone E-75."

Heavy Wood Improv 019 Op.4166: Fool's Gold: the Alaska Overture [Ode to Electone] E-70

"by vamping on some UK and Supertramp, came up with this new composition that fuses the two ideas behind "Alaska" and "Fool's Overture"
Found this E-70 for $150 locally. Finding that the Yamaha E-70 home organ is a very inspirational (and fun) music making machine. Everyone should have one. Some assembly required. Well, not really. Just heavy. You need two or three good friends, including one with a small truck or large van. Heavy. But fun."

Custom white Moogs.

"Keyboardist/Songwriter Gary Wright performing "Love Is Alive" on the Midnight Special TV show, 1976. Featuring a young Steve Porcaro {keyboards for TOTO, Michael Jackson, Herb Alpert, Pablo Cruise, Brothers Johnson, etc.} on synthesizers along with rockin' ladies on cowbell + tambourine ;-) Awesome Minimoog bass. Enjoy this great song from the 70's decade of musical innovation & legendary songwriting."

Update via Brandon: "Looks like a [Oberheim] TVS-1 in Pocaro's rig, too. And a white painted ARP SE-IV in the other guy's rig."
