KEVIN BARTLETT: FROM LIQUID LIGHTS TO LIQUID MUSIC. We know Kevin Bartlett best as the tone bending guitarist
with singer-songwriter Happy Rhodes, but Kevin was creating ambient
sound designs and electro-orchestrations long before that. And
if you haven't heard his work, you might have seen it when he
was painting liquid light shows for The Who, Janis Joplin and
Jeff Beck in the 1960s and early 70s. Kevin Bartlett has just
released an imposing CD called NEAR LIFE EXPERIENCE (Aural Gratification
Records) that paints in a world between progressive rock, modern
electronica and orchestral music. For Kevin Bartlett, it was a
spiritual journey and he takes us on the trip when he talks about
it.

of synthesizers.
