Goodstock-2007
A gathering of 60’s & 70’s garage bands, their fans then and now.
Goodstock-2007 began as a fortieth anniversary concert for the Mind
Garage, RCA recording artists in the 60’s.
Experience a special journey back to a magic time for whole families
and all age groups, filled with music, rock culture and goodtimes all
the time, not just another concert. A real 60s-70s feeling of peace and
brotherhood, starring those attending as much as those performing. A
major lifetime experience for all those who never thought it could be
in these troubled times.
The event will begin with the opening of GoodStock Village, as a
festival of the sixties, and will encompass multiple stages with bands
performing continually, vendors of 60‘s memorabilia, exhibits of 60's
and 70s clothing and band attire, and a 60's museum style exhibit. Camp
in the Village or stay in nearby hotels. The Village will accommodate
bands and fans from nearly every state in the USA, and from any other
country, that have declared an interest in a casual celebration. Meet
their contemporaries and recapture the spirit of the times past. A
final performance will take place featuring the greatest bands you
never heard of plus nationally and internationally known headliners.
Even before being officially announced, Goodstock-2007 has already
captured national and international grass roots support and media
attention, with requests for on-air interviews by radio stations from
Seattle to San Francisco, Miami to New York. The event will have
national TV coverage with a number of pre-event talk show interviews. A
number of heavyweights from the entertainment industry have volunteered
to work wherever their talents are appropriate. Film makers will
document the event. A book about bands and plans leading up to
Goodstock 2007 is already being written.
Negotiations for Goodstock Village and the final performance site are
underway. It is expected that the media exposure, PR, marketing, and
grass roots efforts will be launched in late summer or fall of 2006.
The event will be held in the Summer of 2007.

On August 21, Robert Moog, an
electronics genius and one of the fathers of modern synthesizers, died
at 71. By the mid sixties, in the USA, he built the first
tension-controlled synthesizer, and the first synthesizers to be
manufactured at a large scale, the tools that made it possible for the
birth of Space Music and other genres. At once he awoke the interest of
the scientific community with this. As well as that of the musical
community. It was a musical revolution. We'll miss him.

Michel Huygen (Neuronium) has been working in
an album with a
different style from his latest works, and whose idea occurred to him
in a quite sudden manner. This album is wholly rhythmic, in an
amusing key, far from the melodramatic as well as cosmic grandeur. In
it he widely utilizes ultrasynthetic sounds.
It is very complex with respect to timbric changes and is inspired in
the style of
the night life typical of large cities. It is an energetic CD, ideal to
combat apathy.
The album "Hydro" by Neuronium is enjoying a great success both on the
part of the audience and on
the part of specialized reviews. In Brazil, for instance, it has been
one of the main hits of
electronic music in general.
Anybody who orders the Bjorn Lynne's 3 CDs of fantasy style music
("Wizard of the Winds",
"Wolves of the Gods" and "The Gods Awaken") also gets an extra CD for
free, which is the new
remastered version of his fantasy music CD "Witchwood". Secure online
order form (as well as
details of how to order offline) available on Bjorn Lynne's site: http://www.lynnemusic.com

MACC (electronics) and Xavier Pie (saxo) have
united their
artistic efforts in a series of brilliant improvisations. A really
interesting meeting that of these two creators of universes of
sound. Miguel Alberto Cruz, better known by his artistic names MACC and
Satori, started a solo career in the musical
avantgarde of the early nineties. His imaginative and unclassifiable
music soon attracted a remarkable
attention. The improvised music by MACC and Xavier Pie flows, evolving,
never losing its intrinsic
beauty, deep, hypnotic, with electronic undercurrents that lead to
atmospheres full of a soft energy, at
times with space brushes. More information here: macc@inicia.es
Mauro Lupone is an interesting electroacoustic composer. In his
composition "Himmel-Feuer" (piano,
bird calls and live electronics), he sculpts textures in varied forms,
thus weaving an
oniric tapestry full of mysteries.
