Synergy is Larry Fast, Lawrence Roger Fast and Larry "Wires" Fast.

In other words, Synergy is just Larry and lots of overdubbing and computer sequencing.

I met Larry first when he was a DJ at WSAN in Allentown, PA and then, a few years later at his studio in West Orange NJ -- just down the road from a college friend's home. The Sequencer album is one of my favorites because Larry actually spent a lot of time doing some pioneering computer programming to pull of that recording... all in the days of the Analog Synthesizer.

Larry tends to show up every now and then at gigs around my area. NF and Renaissance/Annie Haslam gigs mostly. He's great to talk with if you ever get a chance. I had him do an Aural Moon promo at one of Annie's gigs but the background noises picked up during his promo made it unusable. I'll try to get him to do another.

That would be awesome, Vax.

I wonder if he ever heard me blasting "Games" from the Maverick while I was delivering pizzas in Allentown in the 80s. Fantastic stuff.

It's funny how folks react to things I don't really foresee. I didn't think Synergy would be so popular, but it's a very pleasant surprise to see such favorable memories and reactions.

Thank you all for sharing.

One last chance to catch a replay at 5am Wednesday morning.
