    Heute vor 45 Jahren kommentierte Barry Graves (1942-1994) im RIAS Berlin den Song "I will survive" von Gloria Gaynor in seiner legendären Art, einen, wie er ihn nannte, „torch song“, ein „Fackellied“.

    In der Tat war Barry Graves ein Protagonist und Visionär, ich war ein Fan seiner Moderation.
    Andere mochten ihn gar nicht.

  11. Busy day in the studio today, plumbed in a Behringer #X32Rack as a synth/drum machine submixer and occasional USB interface.

    I do love the #X32's faux #QuantecRoomSimulator reverb, brings back many happy memories of #WilliamOrbit and #TorchSong's #WishThing album.

    I'd say it's the perfect submixer for a big electronic music studio although it is verging on overkill. BUT I got it for around the same price as a bare USB interface with similar inputs.

  12. It's the first #TunesOnTuesday of #FAWM, February Album-Writing Month, a global community of songwriters. It's a chance to write music to other peoples' lyrics, as in this example "Bullet In The Night," which turned into a torch song about love and betrayal.
