The Story
Release Date: 06/03/22
The classic 1980 electronic album Rainbow Delta, by Patrick Gleeson.
BSX Records presents a reissue of the classic 1980 electronic jazz album by celebrated composer and keyboardist Dr. Patrick Gleeson.
'Rainbow Delta was created by Patrick Gleeson using a custom Emu synthesizer built by Emu Systems engineer Ed Rudnick utilizing an Emu Modular with a double sequencer, 'The Blue Box', and two Sequential Circuits Prophet Tens wired together and controlled via a single keyboard. Initially the result of an intensely creative acid trip, the album includes two long compositions ('Rainbow Delta' and 'Draconian Measures') that range from pulsating insect rhythms to warm melodic synth washes bringing to mind the work of a more classically based Tangerine Dream or Popol Vuh utilizing some of repetitive elements made famous by early minimalists such as Steve Reich.'
