Evening,

Does anybody know of any "production notes" for "Planetary Unfolding"
anywhere? I'm simply curious as to how the recording process went.

Are single notes multitracked like hell to build up those pads?
Or....Michael's system is certainly big enough for some polyphony...are some
of the pads played polyphonically from a keyboard? Was there a score?

The more I listen to it and pick out details...there's some amazing textures
and sounds in there.

Wish we could convince him to join the list (heh)...

well, he was invited, and here's what i got back in reply from karen at earth turtle:

"Hi Matt!
I told Michael about the group. He has the address and will certainly
visit in the near future.
He wishes that he did own a Serge, but has not had the funds to reinvest
in a system. Someday...
He appreciated your positive feedback.
Enjoy!
Karen"

MS's new CD, Within, has a wholly serge track called seven that certainly
revisists his PU (heheh) terrain. its available from earth turtle, here:

music recordings of Michael Stearns 1988 to 1998:

michaels serge is seen here in a new SMOG pic:

and if you like PU i can't recommend enough listmember chris macdonald's "telomere"
CD which sure comes close:


Telomere Electronic Space Music CD

(yes, i've plugged this already, but its that good, and all serge!)

i seem to recall rex asking kevin braheny in the shop one day about stearns serge, and i think
braheny ended up with it. but don't quote me......
