On Saturday, January 23, 2010 at 7 PM Carlsbadistan’s Museum of Making Music is presenting an evening of music and conversation in a special multi-media performance combining live music, discussion, and video presentation by two renowned American electronic music pioneers, composers, and synthesists: Dr. Herb Deutsch of Hofstra University and Dr. John Eaton of the University of Chicago.
The program starts with music and conversation by Dr. Deutsch (pictured above), whose serendipitous encounter and collaboration with Dr. Moog in 1964 launched the development of the Moog synthesizer and impacted the future of electronic and rock music in the U.S. Then, the evening will continue with a video-presentation and demonstration by Dr. John Eaton, MacArthur Fellow and recognized composer and performer of electronic and microtonal music.
If you, like us, prefer music of a more electronic nature, then this presentation should not be missed.
Tickets are $10 ($7 for members and students) and can be purchased by clicking here.

Exene Cervenka, the grande dame of the LA punk scene will be playing Hensley’s Flying Elephant Pub & Grill on Saturday night November 14, 2009 and North County Times writer Stephen Rubin took the opportunity to check in with the singer/songwriter who has suffered great loss recently as well as annouced that she has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
I appreciate things a little bit more that I took for granted, like waking up every day, walking out the front door and going, ‘Wow, it’s a beautiful f—- day. . . .”It doesn’t change anything,” she said of the diagnosis. “It’s a mystery that can strike any part of you at any moment. And some people it rarely strikes, and some people it’s constant, and they’re in agony and it’s a horrible thing; I’m somewhere in the middle.”
Exene plays with Frank Drennan and Cindy Wasserman of Dead Rock West. Show starts at 8 PM. Tickets are $10.
