Electronic Realizations...(1975) 1995 edition.

Where have you been?

For the last few years, since Passport Records, the label that had released all of the Synergy records went out of business, Synergy recordings weren't available except as used copies or the few copies that were still in the sales pipeline. Still, I'd been busy with many other projects; working on other people's records both playing and producing, doing music and audio for films and television, and most recently working as a music supervisor for feature films. I've also been developing
technology used by the hearing impaired.

Are any Synergy records available?

The Synergy albums are all available again on CD. There's information on this site about the digitally remastered reissues.

It took years to get the rights back, but Synergy Electronic Music, Inc. now owns the masters and has placed the re-release rights with Third Contact, a new media label that originally was available only on the internet. Since 1998, Third Contact 's Synergy releases are manufatured and distributed by Universal/PolyGram Records Chonicles label. They are available from conventional record stores and from online sources.

Are there any new Synergy projects?

Now that the legal questions about the earlier Synergy releases have cleared up I plan to create some new recordings. It's not as though I ever stopped; the scoring and other extended work took up the same amount of time and effort, but ended up in different kinds of uses with fewer people aware that they were hearing Synergy music.

Why aren't you working with Peter Gabriel anymore?

Peter remains one of the favorite people with whom I've worked. But, after almost a decade of recording and touring, Peter's work took a different creative direction, one where my electronic music and technology skills weren't really needed. You can hear my playing, programming and production work on Peter's first four solo albums and his first live album.
