Exuberant electronic/dance music by Imaja - Greg Jalbert on keyboard synthesizers and computer-based sequencer. In the late 1980's, Imaja - Greg Jalbert moved to California and got involved in a project to develop new music sequencing software with innovative graphic editing for MIDI synthesizers and keyboards. After a year and a half of long hours, coding of tens of thousands of lines of object-oriented Pascal software for Apple’s Mac OS System 7, navigating the new social scenes of Milpitas, San Francisco, and the East Bay, this collection represents the first series of compositions to use the new software and some of that decades synthesizers, including the Korg M1, Casio FZ-1, Yamaha FB-01 and the Roland MT-32, all with custom programming or samples.
Live improvisations by Greg Jalbert on keyboard synthesizers and Rob Lonsdale on guitar synthesizer. Lonsdale and Jalbert create a range of melodic and textural soundscapes. Original synthesizer programming by Jalbert gives this a unique sound, loopy rhythms, deep space journeys and gliding articulations, working with a Korg M1 and a Casio FZ-1, both with custom programming. Lonsdale layers his guitar lines over the top, working with guitar synthesizer and E-Bow. Recorded at Lonsdale Studios, Berkeley, California, October 1997.

Greg Jalbert, artist and musician, presents this collection of photographs of nature and urban scenes from a train trip in November, a cross-country roundtrip. Train Trip November is contemplative, a meditation on the geography of rural and urban areas, land use patterns, natural and man-made areas of transportation, agriculture, cities and small towns. Non-narrative, the scenery and music give one impressions of the joys and struggles of living in various ecosystems. The music soundtrack is a mix of a variety of music compositions and improvisations, both newly created and taken from a wide range of time in the Imaja archives, and includes guitar improvisations in raga-style, electronic synthesizer textural works, and jazz improvisations.
Imaja - Greg Jalbert journeys through guitar instrumentals and songs with influences from world music, jazz, folk, ambient, dance grooves and more. Acoustic guitar, electric guitar and synthesizers are layered together in rich textures.
Glenn McKay's light art will mesmerize you with brilliant colors and music from four decades on this new DVD video release. In four movements, the Altered States video starts with vintage rock from Jefferson Airplane, set to McKay's early 60's pulsating sensory overload style. The 70's evolve into a tweaky sound track by Knox Bronson, electronic culture mastermind, with scenes from McKay's world travels in a highly abstracted form. The 80's movement travels into pure geometric and color abstractions, with an uplifting electronic/acoustic soundtrack by Dean Evenson. McKay’s 90's movement goes deep into fantastic liquid color landscapes with a dark, electronic music voyage crafted in collaboration with McKay by Greg Jalbert. This video captures McKay's main installation exhibit at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, February-May 1999. Click here for product info.
