Meeting a Synthesizer GOD
Last Saturday was a magical night. I invited Don Buchla to come to our party and he showed up. He's an amazing and awesome character. Super knowledgeable and real as a person. It was very cool to meet the man as just another guy who ties his own shoes, and play music for him, and not just be some dork all over his shit, gushing about...well , shit that he's heard a million times and probably has moved on from, as a man who is extremely busy doing his thing, making magical, complex ideas into reality to help others make theirs manifest as well. No picture taking, no autographs, or any of that shit, just hanging out, and enjoying a couple beers and some jungle juice, while people dance, cavort, and frollic. That was fuckin hip, I tell you. Moments like that are special, not because it was hanging out with some "star", but just a nice old guy, with real heart, vision, and knows the fuckin deal, backward, forward, and even sideways. I would even have offered him some psychedelics, but I thought that might be a bit much on first meeting. Maybe another time.
