September 21, 2010 – In a recent meeting, the Bob Moog Foundation’s Board of Directors elected Bryan Bell as its new Chairman. Bell, President and founder of SynthBank, LLC, and a 30-year veteran of the entertainment industry, is best known for his long relationships with Herbie Hancock, Carlos Santana, and Neil Young and his work as a pioneer in the integration of the personal computer and networks into the music industry. During his tenure with Herbie Hancock, Bell and his team were responsible for 14 technology innovations. As a live audio engineer, he was house mixer for some of the biggest concerts in history. As a recording engineer, Bell has received multiple platinum awards for his clients’ projects.

In addition to his current technology consulting practice, which provides businesses with outsourced Chief Technology Officer services, Bell has written articles on music and technology and has given speeches internationally. He has also maintained a high level of community service through several non-profit organizations including The Bridge School. Bell's strengths in technology innovation, infrastructure, team building, and non-profit management will be great assets to the Board of the Bob Moog Foundation.

Bell states "Bob Moog has been a true inspiration for me and many of my clients over the decades. Like Bob, my entire career has been focused on the intersection of science and creativity. It is an honor to be elected Chairman of the Board of the Bob Moog Foundation. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to the Foundation's very important mission”.

The Bob Moog Foundation was launched in 2006 after Moog's passing, with a mission to educate and inspire people through electronic music. Its work is manifested through educational and historical projects focusing on teaching children science through music, preserving Moog's extensive archives, and creating a future interactive center, the Moogseum.

"http://www.boyinaband.com - Dave does a quick MPC Jam to showcase the presets available in Kong on Reason 5.

Well, it's not an actual MPC, but it's close (it's an MPD16)

A total of 0 hours of preparation went into this, hence the amazing ability for Dave to forget that he's already done the same pattern a few presets ago."

Roland GAIA SH-01 - Luftrum Soundbank (v2)

YouTube via Luftrum1 | September 21, 2010

"Audio demo of Luftrum 6 - Soundbank for Roland GAIA SH-01 containing 64 ambient patches ranging from warm space pads over Berlin School arpeggios and organic sound effects - suitable for ambient, cinematic and filmscore productions. 32 of the 64 patches are spine-tingling ambient pads, lifting the GAIA up to the next level of sound!

Luftrum 6 is drawn out of inspirations from Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream, Biosphere and Steve Roach and is a follow up to soundbank successors released for Propellerheads Reason and lately the standalone Luftrum:Ambient for Camel Audio's Alchemy - which cemented Luftrum's signature as an ambient tone painter.

Luftrum 6 is available as download-only from luftrum.com.
