Tadream: To Sean: Yeah, some exclusive material, including "Voxel Ux"

RaveHost: <edson> to <RaveHost>: what's the process for writing the music for a video such as Luminous Visions? do you stare at the video and then write the music score?

Tadream: That's pretty much it, we're afraid

RaveHost: <Mini-MOOG> to <RaveHost>: The video is beautiful

RaveHost: (Newcomers - welcome to the rave! /msg RaveHost with questions for Tangerine Dream)

RaveHost: <Prisoner> to <RaveHost>: If you guys do tour is there any chance you'll hit some mid west venues?

Tadream: We're just getting warmed up, keep firing away...

RaveHost: (midwest US, I assume)

Tadream: To Prisoner: It's a matter of the superabundant coincidences, in other words: maybe

RaveHost: <Quarlie> to <RaveHost>: I'd like to ask what Edgar and Jerome think of the "Tangerine Ambience" tribute album being published by Hypnotic.

Tadream: To Quarlie: Sorry, but we aren't allowed to use four letter words here

RaveHost: <Agent3D> to <RaveHost>: Hiyas! Who or what do you listen to when not working on TD material?

RaveHost: The video is streaming now for those of you using our special "rave" applet

RaveHost: at www.scifi.com/rave

Tadream: To Agent3D: Mostly Lefty Frizzell, George Jones, Townes Van Zandt, Hank Williams, etc.

RaveHost: <jowers> to <RaveHost>: what additional equipment was used to do Visions and DreamMixes? (Synths, Drum Machines)

Tadream: Everything but industry modules and half-baked shit

RaveHost: <GlennR> to <RaveHost>: Are you going to do a biographical video for your fans with concert cuts, studio and personal clips, along the lines of what Joe Satriani and others have done? We'd really like to see how you do things.

RaveHost: (the rave will go unmoderated a little later...)

Tadream: To GlennFi: We're actually already working on it, should be out towards end of the year

RaveHost: (so party quietly for now ;)

RaveHost: <Webby> to <RaveHost>: Have you done any work with music generated by computer algorithm?

Tadream: To Webby: Good question. This is what we're aiming at, but can't tell more about right now.

RaveHost: <mowog> to <RaveHost>: Tell Them I'm 52 and can't wait forever for a US tour Please Guys!!

Tadream: To Mowog: Edgar's even older than you, my boy. And he can't wait either (Jerome)

RaveHost: <edson> to <RaveHost>: how long did it take you to write the score for LV? do you work on more than a project at a time?

Tadream: Approximately 4 weeks. Unfortunately.

RaveHost: <Sean-Montgomery> to <RaveHost>: If Edgar does indeed opt to 'retire' from TD in the coming years, would Jerome carry on with the TD name, and welcome other collaborators?

Tadream: To Sean-Montgomery: Edgar intends to keep working for a while yet. "I guess he'll never stop" (J) :-)

RaveHost: <jowers> to <RaveHost>: In the last Keyboard Magazine interview you mentioned a new way of working with synthesis, has that become a reality?

Tadream: Very much so.

RaveHost: <Fred> to <RaveHost>: RaveHostEdgar and Jerome: You've explored many musical styles in the last 30 years. What's next?

RaveHost: Welcome to the Rave. To send a question to Tangerine Dream, send it as a private message to RaveHost (/msg RaveHost)

Tadream: To Fred: Look into a telescope to see what I can see

RaveHost: <MD> to <RaveHost>: As a relative newcomer to your music, I wonder what gives your music that distinctive TD sound/

Tadream: To MD: It's our complex personalities (you believe that, you believe anything)

RaveHost: <dreamfan> to <RaveHost>: Has a US release date for "The Keep" soundtrack been decided?

Tadream: Only Virgin knows.

RaveHost: <DAVENTURA> to <RaveHost>: Do you do much Websurfing or other computer things not related to the music?

Tadream: To Daventura: Jerome is a game freak, Edgar's a more down to earth online-type

RaveHost: <CRoy> to <RaveHost>: What going on with the Dante project

Tadream: To CRoy: Been working on it for 4 years, won't be out before end of '99, though.

RaveHost: <Mini-MOOG> to <RaveHost>: Will you ever work with Franke and Schmoelling again? Will you ever work with Klaus Schulze?

Tadream: To Mini-MOOG: Franke? No. Schmoelling? No. Schulze? Certainly not.

RaveHost: <Zaranna> to <RaveHost>: Can you tell me the Title for one of your collections that was about National Parks? A friend let me borrow it and I haven't found it since.

Tadream: To Zaranna: "Le Parc" studio lp

RaveHost: <mowog> to <RaveHost>: Are they going to put out long sets in the future I like th 20 minute sets much more than the shorter stuff.

Tadream: To Mowog: It never works out the way you plan it, so you never really know

RaveHost: <DAVENTURA> to <RaveHost>: I've enjoyed Moniques covers and photography, How is she?

Tadream: Fast asleep

RaveHost: <dreamfan> to <RaveHost>: Edgar and Jerome: What is the current relationship between TD and Linda Spa?

Tadream: Still on speaking terms, tea and bisquits, etc.

RaveHost: <odyssey> to <RaveHost>: What animation segment from "Luminous Visions" do you like the best?

Tadream: So many to chose from, but it has to be "Exotica"

RaveHost: <jupe> to <RaveHost>: please, one opinion about the homepages that speak on TD in Internet

Tadream: Love your page, amigo. Hasta la vista.

RaveHost: <GlennR> to <RaveHost>: Are you saying that development on PMU's and E-Balls is on track and could be a reality in a few years?

Tadream: Definitely.

RaveHost: <jowers> to <RaveHost>: What is Jerome's favorite TD album that he DIDN'T play on?

Tadream: Yep, in the near future (we hope)

RaveHost: <Webby> to <RaveHost>: Have you ever used MAX, the interactive object-oriented computer music language?

Tadream: We're familiar with it, but don't use it

RaveHost: <Sean-Montgomery> to <RaveHost>: I like the photo collages that you've been employing on recent covers...have you been continuing to make visual art all these years?

Tadream: Question from Tadream: Which bastard is responsible for "Electronic Orgy"? We'll get you.

RaveHost: I'll let you know if we get any answers...
