The Music of Richard Lainhart Coming to Tokyo & a New Release

October 13 & October 16, 2012 – Tokyo, Japan

Ambient Dream: The Music of Richard Lainhart

"If you are in Japan or know of anyone who will be in Toyko October 13 or 16, please pass this along. Thanks! — Caroline Meyers (Richard Lainhart's wife)

Richard Lainhart (1953-2011) was one of the seminal figures in contemporary American electronic music, composing more than 150 works over the course of nearly four decades. His distinctive sound was characterized by organic textures inspired by natural phenomena, such as clouds, water and fire, typically arranged in minimalist structures and treated with microscopically observed harmonies. The "listening" concerts October 13 and 16 are retrospectives of his music and a preview of an upcoming vinyl LP scheduled for release December 2012.

Update: you can also track updates at Richard Lainhart Music and Films on Facebook.  Be sure to like the page.

And a new release available at Vicmod Records:

"The Course of the River, a vintage electronic music work by the late synthesist Richard Lainhart is now available.

It includes two parts:

A River on a Cold Mountain 14:21
The Course of the River 31:48

The music was created in 1975 on the Moog CEMS System at SUNY Albany Electronic Music Studio. All proceeds from the album will go to the Lainhart Family."

Click here for full details on the release. Excerpt regarding the CEMS:

"The pieces on 'The Course of the River' were both recorded in the State University of New York at Albany's Electronic Music Studio in 1975, using the Moog CEMS (Coordinated Electronic Music Studio) System developed by my composition teacher Joel Chadabe. Joel worked closely with Bob Moog in developing the CEMS, and Moog developed many custom modules for the system, which at the time may have been the largest integrated Moog synthesizer in the world.

The CEMS System contained an extended array of sound generating and processing modules as well as a unique programming system consisting of an automated matrix mixer, a digital master clock, and a bank of eight analog sequencers with customized logic hardware for running them together, independently, in succession, or in any combination of those modes..."
