"The previously cassette-only album Whispered Visions (1980) by Emerald Web, finally committed to vinyl 30 years since its original release. These tracks are taken from the second ever (and rarest) release by this early synthesizer duo consisting of husband and wife synthesists Kat Epple and the late Bob Stohl, surrounded by a who's-who of PINA (Private Issue New Age) legends, this pioneering group were one of the first self-pressed patrons of the genre that faced music technology head-on while turning their backs on the major music industry."
"When originally released, one music reviewer described Whispered Visions as: 'A cosmic tapestry of sound, woven with threads of shimmering synthesizer timbres and luminous flute melodies.' This album was made using early synthesizers, sequencers, Lyricon and flutes. When it was recorded in 1980 our synths were regarded as 'state of the art' technology. Originally released exclusively on compact cassette it was our second of a total of 14 independent releases. The band Emerald Web consisted of Bob Stohl and myself and our goal was to create innovative synthesizer orchestration and blend electronic music and acoustic instruments. From 1978 to 1990 we recorded, toured, and performed in planetariums while composing soundtracks for Carl Sagan, amongst others. Bob and I were consultants for (and were lucky enough to be sponsored by) companies and individuals that were creating the latest music technology. At the time Emerald Web was one of the few 'Space Music' bands which performed live in concert using synthesizers and sequencers, most of which had volatile memory and no pre-set sound banks."-Kat Epple
