If you've not seen the Bright Sparks movie, which documents the human stories surrounding the pioneers behind many of the great synthesizers of our age - you really should. Its talks to many of the great minds and personalities behind the brands.
One of the main driving forces behind the making of this movie and accompanying album by iMonster, was to make sure there is a record of their experiences, as many of these innovators are not getting any younger.
In the case of Dennis P Collins (1942-2015), one of the extremely talented engineers behind ARP synthesizers, this is extremely poignant, as sadly, shortly after his interview was filmed, he passed away.
In this piece of previously unseen footage, Mr Collins recalls some of his formative experiences. Its actually quite spiritual and whilst the circumstances are extremely sad, it is also quite up-lifting.
