David Wunder Brägger’s “Séance of Sleep I: The Saraswati Dreamcraft” is available at Bandcamp and your favorite digital platforms! ——- “Cinematic, epic, hearts of space Dreamtime!” —  Todd Barton   “A fantastic journey…Simply put, this release is at a level that we expected from major labels 30+ years ago. Rich landscapes and near-asmr ear-candy that reveals itself again and again with repeat listens.” —  Modular World “A both-feet leap into the lands of analog synth-dom…it’s a fully realized and imposing, often galloping, sound world that is conjured here, with a musical mind that shines through.” —Mike Gangloff (Pelt, Black Twig Pickers) “An immersive and stunningly beautiful cosmic bath of sound…a high-water mark in ambient and healing music, taking on a rigorous creative pursuit that pushes the boundaries of the listener’s comfort zone in ways rarely associated with those idioms.” —Soundohm “This is art. This is very important art.” — No Depression — #electroacoustic #modularsynthesis #violin #dronemusic #tiptopbuchla #shoegaze #eurorackmodular #eurorack #electronicmusic #ambientmusic #dawless #terryriley #modularworld #stochasticinstruments #qubitdatabender #makenoiseqpas #makenoisemimeophon #harmonium #experimentalmusic

Here’s the first video from the TANK! Susan Platz and I are performing “Paddy on the Turnpike” at the TANK Center for Sonic Arts in Rangely, Colorado. This recording was made during a day of music and exploration in celebration of Todd Barton’s (and my) birthdays. This West Virginia tune was learned from the playing of Lee Hammons and Jimmy Triplett. The TANK is a sonic space that boasts a 40-second natural reverb.

I was inspired years ago from a recording of this funked-out Sanford Kelly (KY) fiddle tune by Gerry Milnes. I recorded it on my CD “Big Fancy” with Chris Berry’s killer guitar. Here’s the solo and evolving version of this old-time masterpiece. I think it has grease in all the right spots. Cheers! #oldtimemusic #oldtimefiddle #fiddle #earlymusic #folkmusic
