_________________________________

I ran into Terry from Orbital Decay at last week's Gathering concert. He said he was expecting to play at a Robert Moog tribute on October 1 at the Franklin Institute in Philly. Can anybody confirm this? Terry said that he was short on details and questioning whether it was really going to happen. He listed other Electro-Music alumni who were also rumored to be part of it too.

Here's a link directly to the ad you need to copy and bring to get free admission. I'm brining a few extra copies of the ad for friends. And note, it starts at 6:00!

Well, how did it go? Was there a good audience?

It was a fun gig. We played from 6:20 PM to 10:30 PM. Each of us did two sets and then we did a couple of real nice jam session. The organizer said about 120 people came through during the evening. He said they liked the music.

The graphics were very good, but they repeated. The best graphics happened when Mark Jenkins did his sets because there was a nice beat for them to sync with.

It seems to me that Panetariums are great places to play space music. -- DUH...

We are in the process of setting up a live performace of Mark Jenkins' music for streaming this Tuesday afternoon. Stay tuned for details. It should be a great "show".

Thanks to Mark and the staff at the Fels Planetarium for setting this up. It was a fitting tribute to Bob Moog. Between all of us, there were at least 8 Moog instruments - Voyagers, MiniMoogs, Taurus, Etherwave Theremins, and others. No, I didn't bring the Moog Modular.

Hong does a very good job with a camera. I especially liked her shots from EM05.

Hong just gave me some more pics she took of this event. Good as usual. See here: http://electro-music.com/images/Oct-05-Fels
