Sure - I used to compose stuff like that 30 years ago!

But IMHO that was a pretty poor example of space music...

Excellent! But I'm the guy who wore out 3 "Electronic Music at Columbia Princeton" lps. Bulent Arel is my favorite composer.

Don, I see there's even a Part 3, for those with real endurance!

This link (great mp3 samples!) has been posted some months ago (don't remember which thread):

I would like to see a combination of a theremin and a lap steel guitar - like a theremin cello played horizontally:

At Gerry Hogans steel convention in 87 or so, B.J. Cole came out with himself on Pedal Steel and a Cello player. I thought it was great but most people went for a beer! I guess it wasn't country enough for them.
