Shimmering (Music by Tony Gerber / Poetry by Shane Beck)

I Awoke from the Dark Night

This is a long piano and synth soundscape great for background, meditation, or relaxing listening. It is a long track, from my piano album Conversing With a Rainy Night.

Conversing With A Rainy Night

Bluebird (For Josephine)

Lebendiga Technik

This is the fifth stage of composition for this work. A new harmonic and melodic section has been added, and some eq and balancing has been refined. This piece is slowly evolving toward completion. Stay tuned for continuing progress.

Seven suites of deep and sprawling sonic meditations built around ‘call and response’ improv sessions between Randy Raine-Reusch and Michael Red.

Slow and tempered recordings of Asian flutes, African harps, temple gongs and a myriad of obscure instruments from Randy Raine-Reusch's deep collection mutate and ebb into swirling gossamers of tone. Sonic incantations stretched and magnified further by Red's Sends. An otherworldly play between light and shadow worlds; at times idyllic and light-filled, at times dark and eerie– all engrossing. Dream-reality reconciliations weave between the spectral world of Michael Red's sound processes and the direct physicality of Raine-Reusch's playing. The tension across the pieces builds between the live playing and processing techniques, dutifully revealing a growing familiarity with collective transcendence through sound (bigger than the sum of its parts). Real-time interactive dream music.

Initially realized over the course of a few days in Randy’s instrument museum in Vancouver BC [December, 2014] 'ERAS' is made up of processed, and sometimes multi tracked, improvisations between Randy and Michael. Through these sessions Randy would choose instruments he sensed possibilities within, and Michael then revealed and sculpted these possibilities. Both resonating, sensing sonic structures, environmental nuances, and further worlds in each other’s art, all within the moment. Being present for each other, they acted on instinct, trusting a first thought, trusting each other; committing, responding to that commitment, then mutating and letting go. Always moving forward, synthesizing and letting the living moment lead the way.

The recordings were left to distill and mature for many years before the composers felt it was ready. With minimal judicious edits and a very light dusting of FXs, both careful to preserve the direct and intuitive process that permeates the recording, ERAS now emerges.

Tony Gerber is a multifaceted musician and artist whose creative journey has spanned several decades, leaving an indelible mark on the realms of electronic music, visual art, and beyond.

Immersed in the rich cultural tapestry of the city, Gerber found inspiration in its diverse soundscape, from classical to rock, folk and country, to the soulful melodies of blues and jazz.

In the early 1970s, Gerber became captivated by the burgeoning electronic music movement, drawn to the boundless possibilities offered by synthesizers, sequencers, and other cutting-edge technologies. Embracing this newfound fascination, he embarked on a journey of sonic exploration, pushing the boundaries of traditional music genres and forging his own distinctive sound.

Throughout his career, Gerber has collaborated with a diverse array of artists and musicians, blurring the lines between musical genres and cultural boundaries. His work spans a wide spectrum of styles, from ambient and experimental to tribal and world music, reflecting his eclectic influences and adventurous spirit.

As a founding member of the pioneering electronic music ensemble SPACECRAFT, Gerber helped pioneer the genre known as spacemusic, blending hypnotic rhythms, ethereal textures, and immersive soundscapes to create evocative sonic landscapes that transport listeners to otherworldly realms.

In addition to his musical pursuits, Gerber is also an accomplished visual artist, exploring the intersection of sound, light, and space through his mesmerizing multimedia installations and performances. His work often incorporates elements of improvisation and chance, inviting audiences to embark on a journey of discovery and transformation.

Beyond his artistic endeavors, Gerber is also a passionate advocate for the power of music and creativity to inspire positive change in the world. Whether through his performances, workshops, or community outreach initiatives, he seeks to foster connections, stimulate imagination, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for the beauty and wonder of the universe.
