Various Artists: Soul Of The Machine
A Celebration of the Life & Legacy of ARP founder Alan R. Pearlman
(2CD and 3-part digital)
Genres: Ambient, Electronic, all sorts of other things!
A musical celebration of the genius behind ARP’s history-making synthesizers
This way to the album's Bandcamp page...
The Alan R. Pearlman Foundation celebrates the centennial of its namesake, the electronic visionary whose marvelous ARP synthesizers changed the landscape of music forever. The nonprofit foundation, in conjunction with Projekt Records, presents Soul Of The Machine, a 36-track ARPF fundraising compilation: honoring the man and his creations as interpreted by a diverse range of recording artists.
Soul Of The Machine is a 36-track collection of tracks old and new, covering everything from innovative electronic, dance, and space music to jazz, funk, and Latin pop, all featuring the signature sounds of classic ARP instruments. The collection includes everything from ARP’s first synthesizer — the massively powerful ARP 2500 modular system — to the instruments that rewrote the rules on how electronics and music came together. The 2600, Odyssey, Pro Soloist, Omni, and many more ARP instruments sing, cry, scream, and soar in the hands of musical talents, both legends and newcomers.
Soul Of The Machine's track list is a treasure trove waiting to be discovered.
It includes an unreleased track from Depeche Mode's Martin Gore, as well as music from John Foxx, Chris Meyer, Mark Isham, Steve Roach, Jeff Rona, David Torn, Craig Padilla, Lisa Bella Donna, Don Slepian plus 26 more.
Famed ambient / electronic pioneer (and ARP user since 1978) Steve Roach shares his thoughts on Soul Of The Machine, "In 2024 I had the honor of meeting Dina Pearlman-Ifil — the director of the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation — in person. Over the course of several phone conversations we discussed ways to celebrate the centennial year of her father's life and his place in history. My idea for a compilation of music using her father’s creations grew out of those conversations, presenting a perfect way to directly experience the vast range of music that was birthed by the family of ARP synthesizers. This compilation is just a small taste of the universe Alan inspired in sound explorers and artists across a vast range of genres."
Proceeds go the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation alanrpearlmanfoundation.org
The Alan R. Pearlman Foundation is a not-for-profit organization. Their mission is to celebrate the legacy of inventor, musician, entrepreneur and engineer Alan R. Pearlman by making his innovative inventions publicly accessible and by inspiring future generations to imagine and create.
