    Greetings,

    In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://www.perfectsoundforever.com>, you'll find (among other things):


    CHRIS CUTLER
    Probing his Probes program- interview by Jonas Vognsen
    "Beginning in 2012, Radio Web MACBA – the online "non-profit research and transmission project" of The Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art – has been hosting "Probes", a series of podcasts curated by Chris Cutler, founder of ReR Megacorp and drummer
    of Henry Cow and Art Bears. The program delivers a comprehensive history of new musical developments over the last more than 100 years. As such, it deals not only with changes in technology and material circumstances, but is also a study in the life and
    spread of ideas."

    DR. T
    Electronic wizard interrogated by Derek Pyle
    "Emile Tobenfeld's Keyboard Controlled Sequencer (KCS) for Commodore 64 was a revolution in MIDI sequencers. Eventually following the KCS with the equally powerful Omega II program for Atari, Emile Tobenfeld aka Dr. T offered a number of innovative MIDI
    sequencing programs and patches through his company Dr. T's Music Software, playing a significant role in the world of mid to late 1980’s electronic music."


    JOHN WETTON-GREG LAKE
    RIP two great prog bassist/singers by Gary Gomes
    "The deaths of Greg Lake and John Wetton so close to each other has a certain sad symmetry to it. Both were tremendously talented musicians who first achieved notoriety as bass players for King Crimson, Lake in the original incarnation of the group and
    Wetton towards the end of Crimson's first run. Both were great bass players with extraordinary technique."



    We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.

    See you online,
    Jason
