RELEASE DATE
8/19/2014
2013 release. Sharing social circles and spiritual ideologies with artists such as
Iasos
,
Connie Demby
and
Deuter
, whilst splitting label release schedules with
Laraaji
,
Laurie Spiegel
and
Wendy Carlos
, the unique Florida-raised soul mate duo known as
Emerald Web
released their privately pressed debut LP at an axis where post-prog rock met proto-new age and ambient electronic music. At the turn of the 1980s,
Bob Stohl
and
Kat Epple
embarked on a ten-year spiritual journey playing at planetariums and laser shows above the same Californian silicon city that devised the early computer music software, unifying their state-of-the-art modular synth soundscapes and organic compositions of flutes, bells and field recordings and furnishing a self-pressed cassette tapeography of inimitable Emerald Web music for their self-funded Stargate label. Having first communicated via the medium of music as flute players at a South Florida jam session, the future space music luminaries would be instrumental in assisting synthesizer companies via feedback and consultancy in developing instruments such as the Lyricon wind synth (favored by
Suzanne Ciani
and
Bruno Spoerri
) and various sponsored machines for Arp, Buchla, EML, Computone and Orchestron. Named after a laser show formation and combining influences from science fiction films, fantasy novels and a broad musical spectrum including
Tangerine Dream
,
Vangelis
,
It's A Beautiful Day
and
Goro Yamaguchi
, Bob and Kat would balance day jobs as synth programmers as well as TV and film soundtrackers under the moniker BobKat Productions (counting microscope nature documentarian
Carl Sagan
amongst their clients) with evening synthesizer shows at galleries, spiritual centers and even punk clubs. This compilation album comprises early tracks from Emerald Web's debut vinyl release and the four rare cassette-only albums on Stargate Records from 1979-1982. Taken from original master tapes and recorded using revolutionary and prototypal music technology, many of these tracks have never been on vinyl or CD until now.
