2009 Optigan Disc: MINIMALISM feat. Tara Busch!

Now available for pre-order at http://www.optigan.com/shoptigan

Here's a hot new sound for the 1970s, straight from New York City! Mesmerizing musical kaleidoscopes throb from East Village loft windows and trendy art gallery doors, where less is definitely more More MORE! And you can be right there on the scene with the new Optigan Minimalism
program disc!

Your left hand conducts a tight ensemble of organ, flute, saxophones and bass clarinet- pulsing bass on the special effect tabs, and whirling arpeggios on the chord buttons. Your right hand plays vocal solfege melodies, sung for you by none other than Tara Busch of AnalogSuicide.com!

So fill up your glass and take a deep, satisfying gulp from the sonic ocean of Minimalism!


Performance Notes:

The Optigan Minimalism program disc was arranged specifically to allow for a large variety of extended harmonies by pressing two or more chord buttons simultaneously. For instance, holding down C Maj and E Min will produce a C Maj7 chord. G Maj and D Min combined will produce a G9
chord. Also, since the basslines on the special effects tabs contain no thirds, they can be used equally well in major or minor keys. Let your own imagination be your guide, and make your own kind of music!

Music arrangement and production by Pea Hicks

Spectacular! So very Koyanisqaatsi! If I had an Optigan, I would be all over this disc!

[inputmodule]

this rules! my band in the 70's had an optigan converted to play orchestron disks, but the optigan ones win the freakout award!

[pdmillar]

This is even better than the Kraftwerk one. What's going on with some of the arpeggios being played at half speed?

[theogore]

Sweeeeeeeetnessss.

FANTASTIC! This is what Tara was hinting about.
