Ron Geesin

Probably best known as the co-author of Pink Floyd's "Atom Heart Mother" in 1970, composer, performer, sound architect, writer, lecturer, broadcaster and interactive designer Ron Geesin also collaborated with Roger Waters on the innovative "Music from the Body" in 1970, a recording that employed organic sounds as instruments. After his first solo album, "A Raise of Eyebrows", in 1967, Geesin went on to become one of the first one-man record companies with the self-released "As He Stands", "Patruns", and "Right Through". His music has always pushed the envelope with eclectic sensibilities and quirky compositions, relentlessly searching for novel applications of sound.

In the Nineties, Headscope released a pair of CDs, "Funny Frown" and "Blue Fuse", melding modern technology with his predilection for appropriating and mangling found sounds. In 1994, Cherry Red Records released the "Hystery" CD, an overview of his sonic career. In 1995, Cleopatra Records released his "Land of Mist" CD, wherein he explored a somber collection of instrumental ambience. In 1995, See for Miles Records re-issued his first two vinyl albums on CD. Headscope followed in 2003 with the CD "Right Through - and Beyond", a reissue of his last vinyl album, an unissued section and a 'Sour New Year' suite.

A pleasant sense of mirth permeates his work.
