Whoa I just won tickets to a show from KALX for the first time in maybe like over a decade. Stoked! Love this radio station. #radio #ucberkeley #kalx

I was trying to explain Buchla and the Berkeley provenance, this morning to DJ Sifu (who founded Thermal Records and is a UC Berkeley graduate who worked at Leopold's Records and used to deejay on #KALX) and even though he has some #Moog stuff: he had never heard of #Buchla!

Some synthesizer wizards were too far ahead of their time I think?

Anyway, gratefully, refreshing research to share is how I stumbled across the upcoming #SuzanneCiani show, so I am grateful for that unexpected discovery.
