    RIP Edgar Froese - Welcome to your new cosmic address

    I've had a life long "relationship" with electronic music. The first time I heard ambient synths pinging, phasing and blib blopping I fell in love with them. In my early teens I would seek out any ambient synth music I could find. Tangerine Dream and Jeane Michelle Jarre were at the top of my list.

    Edgar Froese (founder of Tangerine Dream) died over the weekend - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...s-aged-70.html

    In his own words:-
    Froese believed that 'there is no death, there is just a change of our cosmic address.'

    Maybe put this on in the background while you do something today.






    You may remember some of his (Tangerine Dreams) more famous pieces. eg:-
















    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I'm really digging the stuff like Rubycon. Don't know what to call it. But that shit's awesome. Reminds me of tripping.
