Johannes Schmoelling (Berlin 2008)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack 1-3:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn summer 1979, Edgar Froese invited me to his studio to play something on his Steinway Grand piano. So I improvised something very spontaneously for perhaps 20 minutes. After the session, Edgar disappeared and returned with a Korg synthesizer in his hands which he passed to me and said 'Come back in one month and let me hear what you have composed by then!'. Tracks 1 - 3 are the exact pieces of music which I composed on the PS 3100 Korg synthesizer, my Minimoog and a Revox A 77 2-track tape recorder, my equipment in those days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack 4 \u0026amp; 5:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe master tapes were so badly damaged that I had to re-perform both tracks on my Apple G5 with the MIDI recording software Logic 7, as close to the originals as possible. In 1980-1981 1 used the Polymoog, Roland Jupiter 8 and Minimoog.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack 6\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewas composed after our concerts in Los Angeles and San Francisco in December 1980.

The samplers used: AKAI S 612, PPG Wave 2.3 System and AKAI S 900. The samples I used were cymbals played backwards and sounds from my Kaps Grand Piano, which were then transmodified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack 14:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis track may sound similar to my improvised piece which I performed on Edgar's Steinway Grand in summer 1979. This recording was made at my Riet-Studio in Berlin - Kreuzberg in 1985 and is an extract from a 30-minute session, which I played on my nearly 100 years old Kaps Grand Piano. Because this improvisation sounds like a piece from the beginning of my work with Tangerine Dream, I would like to dedicate it to Edgar Froese and Christoph Franke in thank for the time we spent together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Door\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Window\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNevermind\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerpetual Motion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Avatar\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWalking On Sunset Blvd.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt Better End Soon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eViolence In The Street\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEcho Village\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Soldier Theme\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRiding The Bike\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracks In The Snow\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMetamorphic Forest\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCircles\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54421396455809,"sku":"1898150","price":17.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/4012831180734.jpg?v=1750649694","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1898150","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
