"At 7 p.m. [Jan 23], the Museum presents an evening of music and conversation in a special multi-media performance combining live music, discussion, and video presentation by two renown American electronic music pioneers, composers, and synthesists Dr. Herb Deutsch (Hofstra University) and Dr. John Eaton (University of Chicago)."

Update via pea in the comments: "here's a true Herb Deutsch / Moog obscurity from my collection... this is something by Deutsch called "Moon Ride" that was a piece written for band and Moog Tape, presumably aimed squarely at the school band arrangement market. This particular performance (who knows if there are any others recor...ded?) is by the 1976 San Marcos Junior High Concert Band.

Ableton Live+Novation Launchpad+ZeRO SL MkII= "Rolling with Strings" Nigel Sifantus live mix

Ableton Live+Novation Launchpad+ZeRO SL MkII= "Rolling with Strings" Nigel Sifantus live mix from Nigel Sifantus on Vimeo.

"The newest live performance from "Progtronica" featuring Ableton Live 8, the Novation Launchpad, and my new Novation ZeRO SL Mk II controller. This tune was all mixed together live and has a "broken-beat" vibe with orchestral and operatic samples used totally out of context. Visit nigelsifantus.com for more information. New "Progtronica" album "Live from Nowhere" is due out in mid 2010 and will feature this many many other live mixed progressive electronic solo productions."

Novation Launchpad+Ableton Live "Beat Repeat" and Live V-Drums by Nigel Sifantus from Nigel Sifantus on Vimeo.

"This is a live drum n bass experiment using Ableton Live's 'Beat Repeat" function mapped out on the Novation Launchpad dedicated Ableton Live controller. It features a mix of improvised loops mixed with some live drumming. The finished product is totally raw with no post production or editing."

Novation Launchpad+Ableton Live+Akai Mpd 24="Progtronica" by Nigel Sifantus from Nigel Sifantus on Vimeo.

"Live outdoors under the sunset of Long beach California comes Progtronica (the live outdoor extended edition) by Nigel Sifantus. This is a live improvisation using Ableton Live 8 of material from the forthcoming Progtronica-Live from Nowhere EP due to be released early 2010. See nigelsifantus.com for more details about Progtronica. All music and sounds created by me, drums played live using Roland V-Drums, sampled re-cut and launched using Novations Launchpad, and controlled by an Akai MPD 24 as well as the Launchpad and Mac. There are bits of sound taken from Brad Mehldau, Trilok Gurtu, and the Cinematic Orchestra but I challenge you to identify the sources."

"It's a cold afternoon in Burlington, Vermont, and I decided to fiddle around with the Minimoog I recently bought. This one is serial number 8630. It has been extensively restored and it looks and sounds gorgeous."

"The Wilson Analog Delay is a swamp monster disguised as a VC Delay. This video covers some of the basic functions and features of the WAD. No outboard effects were used for this video; all audio is direct to camera from the WAD m-odule.

To cut down on complicated patches and confusion, I tried to keep this demo simple and therefore the WAD is being used mainly for audio/cv processing. More advanced applications, traditional delays, ping-pongs, karplus strong effects and more will be covered in a future video.

Cheers!"
