Todd Barton Live with Buchla - Saturday, Nov. 3 Ashland, OR

"Dear Friends,

This Saturday, Nov. 3 at 8 p.m. at the DanceSpace 280 East Hersey Street in Ashland, Oregon I will be performing a solo analog synthesizer concert on a Buchla Electric Music Box.

I’ll be creating sounds from various tone generating modules then folding, unfolding, sculpting, twisting, caressing and distorting them into one long, free-wheeling improvisation.

And my pal, digital artist Bruce Bayard will be unfolding a collage of video images gathered from this past week. Hope you can join us.

Another way of looking at this sonic experience is that I will be creating an new electronic musical instrument which I will listen to and quickly learn its charaterictics/personality in order to learn to play it. I will then perform this new instrument and record it onto a track of my looper pedal at which point I will connect different modules together to create yet another new instrument, learn it, perform it, loop it . . . and so the process continues. . .

Like folding a square piece of paper into unusual and surprising shapes, think of this evening as sonic origami. Hope to see you there! All best wishes, Todd

Here’s a very rough sample of this process [embed above]

Here's more information:
First Saturday Concert Series

TBA stands for Time-Based Art, or To Be Announced. With the first series complete, Todd and I are now moving into the next phase of monthly concert presentations. These performances will consist of various experiments in the audio and visual world. The next First Saturday concert is November 3, 8pm at the DanceSpace in Ashland. Todd Barton will compose an electronic score in the moment, using the Buchla synthesizer with a setting (patch) that creates a wonderfully expressive sound. I am putting together some video clips that I hope will find some resonant synchronization with Todd's music.

Tickets are $5 at the door.

having recently moved from a spacious log cabin studio in maine to a smaller basement studio in new york city (see pics at vinceclarkemusic.com), vince decided to replace his free-standing ultimate support keyboard stands with space-saving wall-mount units and asked us if we wanted them. we agreed to take one off his hands to offer it to you folks here on ebay. now, vince is quite a modest guy who doesn't normally go around autographing his stuff, but after several very long and painful negotiations, he finally agreed to autograph this stand for you!

so why should you want this lovely keyboard stand? well, some might argue that this piece is a crucial part of the erasure sound! others might not. whatever the case, this awesome 2 tier ultimate support ax-48b apex keyboard stand would be a great place to put 2 of your beloved keyboards. designed to be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled, its ideal for gigging musicians who are in a rush. the arms come off in a matter of seconds and can be stored in the compartment on top of the stand. the 3 legs slide out from the compartment on the bottom of the stand. its great for studio use as well. see our pics above for a photo we took of this or one of the other similar stands in vince's maine cabin studio where it was ultimately supporting a Moog Minimoog and Roland Juno-106. and if you dont play keyboards, well, this item would probably make a rather handsome coat rack as well!

this particular stand is in very nice shape, with some typical scratches and dings but nothing worth mentioning in detail. the autograph is in silver marker which seems to be coming off slightly. we will likely tape a piece of paper over it before packing and shipping it but once you get it, you might want to apply a clear coat over it if you wish to preserve it. want more general info on the ultimate support ax-48b? please search the web. keyboards not included.

if this auction goes well, we may ebay a couple of the spare synths and drum machines vince traded us a while ago. we may also pick up some extremely exciting new items from vince, such as an ultra-rare vince clarke signature series snare drum stand / roland mpu-101 holder! (yes, really.)"
