Actually, there IS a way to tweak a DX7. What you do is open up the algorithms and scroll through them while you are playing it. I no longer own a DX7 but I did a lot of this on a DX100 using the same method: https://electronicdelights.bandcamp.com/track/stages
Saw him and the Arkestra play San Jose State in 1975 as an undergraduate. Changed my approach to electronic music in a second!! Keyboard, guitar, and two mics going into a single twin reverb amp; and balanced perfect with the rest of the band! When on the road with Los Microwaves, we were loading out from Danceteria from the night before while Sun Ra’s band was loading in. The band was outside selling LPs with one-of-a-kind hand drawn jackets! I regret not having money to buy one!
Definitely one of the kings of the Afro-Futurism movement, along with Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix. A brilliant example for the next generation of experimental/outside musicians. Rock on!
thank you for this podcast. it’s been a great listening experience. sun ra is one of my favorite artists (together with yoko ono).
