Took the family up near Tarryall Northwest of Lake George to the Topaz Gem Mine for the first open dig of the year. Joe Dorris and his family are awesome supporters of Rockhounds and Gem & Mineral clubs and allow families to come and visit a few times per year.
We took advantage of this year’s first dig and started off pretty slow. We took a portable fold-up chair and after lunch the chair ended up getting blown into a big pit. I went to retrieve the chair and as I was bending down I saw a rock with shapes covered in dried mud. I rubbed it off and it was a specimen quality topaz of nearly 300 carats! That got everyone digging harder and everyone found one (except Trevor ). Hunter found a huge bi-color (blue/champagne) cubic shaped beast (about 250 carats) and Daphne found a clear, near perfect crystal (about 8 carat) that doesn’t really need cutting as the facets are awesome! Erin found a couple of nice cutters too.
Time to shake the rust off the gear and mind; it’s storm season again! Coordinated with Adam Boggs and chased with him today. Always great to have his custom software aboard and his excellent navigation skills. We knew today was going to be a slight risk and that the upper level trough was not necessarily going to be timed correctly with daytime heating max; and there appeared to be somewhat of a cap in place too; but still felt there could be something worth chasing.
We met in Aurora and headed east on I-70 and then US 36; our target was around Anton area…at least to wait and see how the day progressed. The cells in our area had a difficult time with the cap and were eroding…we decided to hit the cell about 45 minute north forming around Sterling…southern Colorado looked nice but it was more than we wanted to drive given we wanted to be back in Boulder by 2am. Driving north on 63 was uneventful until we were about 10 miles south of I-76, and then nice looking mothership supercell appeared! We stopped and took some photos; Adam got some great timelapse with his new nifty camera showing this mothership spin like a top!
We decided after getting about 15 minutes of timelapse to follow the storm north as it was getting close to dusk and the lightning was awesome. Of course, as our luck would have it; as soon as we found a nice perch and got the equipment set up (and the sunlight dim enough for several second exposures) the storm died and lost its lightning! But there were other cells just west that were producing some nice lighting and we got a couple of shots. I love the colors around dusk so we shot some photos and the headed west to get closer to the cells producing better lightning.
We ended up in the massive wind farm just west of Peetz on the Colorado/Nebraska border and had a bolt hit the tower next to us (that was scary); we ended up driving to get out of the rain and set up in between three cells and got some great lightning shots. Most of mine were out of focus; still getting use to the new lens I bought (focus on infinity does not work when shooting lightning and each lens has its sweet spot approaching infinity for crisp focus). But viewing the lightning in the middle of the massive wind turbines that went on past the horizon was excellent fun!
The drive home had some wicked lightning along I-76. Down south near Lamar were a couple of tornadoes after dark; so it was a severe day in Colorado. We got some small hail near Brush; but that was the extent of the hail we saw.
Overall, great fun chasing with Adam, and a great start to the 2012 season with a rotating mothership supercell and some fun lightning!

We’ve been wanting to do this trip for a while; so we decided to embark on a long 3-day weekend trip with my dad and my kids to go Selenite digging in the Great Salt Plains in North-central Oklahoma. I did some calling around and because of the oil boom and the Wynoka Rattlesnake Festival no hotels were available except in Enid; so we opted for a place in neighboring Anthony Kansas–the Anthony Motel & Cafe.
The Cafe was closed and I think we were the only non-oil industry guests at the motel; but it was nice enough…we got the Harley room so who could ask for more? Got there Friday evening and hung out in the room and went to bed early. Drove south to Cherokee OK on Saturday morning and headed out to the Salt Plains. Being a storm chaser as well; I was amazed that we were in the center of the high risk area; so we kept our eye open for building storms all day…
The wind was brutal; about a 30-40 mile southerly wind all day that picked up about 3:00pm…so we decided we had enough digging and decided to leave. Of course, like everyone else, we lost several things that blew out of the back of the truck and we couldn’t catch them it was blowing so hard!
We dug all day and found that the Selenites were a couple of inches below the ground. Hunter discovered that if you dug near the standing water you’d find crystals right away. They said to dig a hole in the sand, let it fill with water (we are at the water table) and then use a bucket or can to wash the sand from the walls. This did work and crystals did fall into the murky, sandy water; but we discovered that the Crystals exist right at the interface between the sand and clay usually; so we ended up just digging horizontal about 3″ below that interface and then pulling out the crystals on the top of the sand rather than in the water…seemed quicker and easier. You can either set out the crystals in the wind to dry; or just toss them in a bucket…we did both.
There appeared to be several types of crystals. Those that formed in the sand, we called them “Sandy”. Those that formed in the clay that were larger and brownish. Those that formed in clay that were bow-ties of sand in clear crystals, we called them “bow ties”. Those that formed in both sand and clay; we called them “changlings”.
Note that digging this way you have to be careful with your shovel as it is easy to break or bend it…we bent one of ours and another person there broke their metal shovel. The clay is stiff and heavy; so go easy. Daphne discovered the “motherload” of the day which put us into the great clusters and bow-tie crystals…of course this was just before we wanted to leave so we ended up staying an extra hour…but it was worth it.
We went home and saw the storms forming on radar…the ones that looked to impact our location of Anthony were at the time near Woodward, OK; which is where several folks died. The storm directly impacted Cherokee where we were all day (note that when we drove through every carwash and other bay was taken by cars already). I decided not to chase the storms given I was with the family and in Erin’s truck (hail damage was not an option; plus some of the side dirt roads would not be good in her car) so we decided to hang out in Anthony. About dark; the storm came through and we took refuge in the local funeral home basement; which was the normal storm shelter after the sirens started blaring! The kids got a good experience of what it is like to be a citizen in tornado prone areas (they’ve been on several chases with me prior…so they know that side too; which isn’t as scary). The twister went about 4 miles SE of town on its way to Wichita.
On the way home Daphne wanted to see “tornado damage” so I chose a route to put us through where I read there were touch-downs. We saw some damage near Hudson which was relatively minor; albeit still scary!
Overall a great trip, some amazing crystals and chased by a storm on a high risk day in the heart of tornado alley! Great fun!

Multicast presents “Sea Foam Green”…
After most of the winter hiatus, Multicast is back! This time with a track to lull you into a trance…or simply to sleep! Sea-foam Green is about the seashore experience; I’m sure you’ve all been there and done that! Sitting on the shore listening to the waves unravels everything inside of you and brings out the relaxation in any of us. This track is a metaphor for this feeling…the lapping patterns of the waves making peaceful sea-foam.
Please don’t operate heavy machinery or drive while listening to this track. You’ve been warned!
Suzanne Jenne was kind enough to interview and post this article in our local monthly newsletter, the Perry Park Sentinel. She makes it sound like I’m doing this all the time; I wish I could be that busy with music! LOL! For those that wanted to read the article, here it is. Thanks to Suzanne and the folks at the Sentinel for their support!!! –dave
All About Art-March 2012
Happy New Year to all and by the time you read this, Chinese New Year celebration will have come and gone so a belated Gung Hey Fat Choy to you!
After being absent for several months, I’m taking up the pen again and have decided to feature local artists in this year’s “ All About Art” segment so that you may learn more about the genius that surrounds us here in Perry Park.
Dave Alexander
This month’s article focuses on Dave Alexander who is a fascinating electronics wizard, computer programming expert, musician and producer. One of Larkspur’s best kept secrets, Dave is known internationally in the electronic music world in places such as England, Japan and especially Germany. His projects and interests are diverse and eclectic. I think you’ll see why.
Dave began his college study in engineering, but, knew early on that computer device design wasn’t for him. He segued into business management and realized that human interaction was an important component to his happiness. Cycle forward a few years and Dave found his forte in consulting in the PeopleSoft software arena. Somewhere along the way Dave was a DJ at KUCB 1190 AM and resident at several clubs in Boulder 4-5 nights a week, where he met his wife Erin, the business manager at the station. A few years later and Dave finds his career has taken him to Children’s Hospital in Denver as a PeopleSoft applications consultant. Mix the passion for music with a real gift for “things technical”, add a flair for design and marketing and you are looking at Dave Alexander!
Dave has developed a clever process for making music. He tends to look at his music work in terms of “projects”. He defines a “project” as a “stream of consciousness”: a certain type of sound, the perfect sound. Dave is actually a member of 5 different collaborations or “projects” as he calls them. “Obliq Recordings”, “Multicast”, “Replicast”, “Freq Modif” and “Ted Sturgeon” are all joint partnerships with other musicians in, distinctly different music styles. Equuicast is a collaboration of long time Denver pioneering electronic bands Equulei and Multicast.
While he plays “keyboards and technology” he is largely responsible for producing recordings on CDs and, yes, records. He started in the ‘90s, working with his college roommate, then moved on to evolve this project-oriented style of production. That’s how ”Freq Modif” a funky electronic style (check out the single inspired by our community, “Larkspur”), started out. The “Multicast” project is a bit more “down tempo”. “Replicast” has more jazz influence. “Ted Sturgeon” yet, another project, is decidedly acoustic. . At any given time he is running 5 or 6 different music production projects…this is one VERY busy guy.
Dave and Erin have 2 children, Hunter (11) and Daphne (7), and he works full time so has limited hours to make music. When he collaborates with the various project musicians, he tends to set up a play “date” and then they all jam for 4 to 6 hours straight. Next he goes back and edits that content down to 1 hour highlights of the session. Then the fun begins as he resamples or redoes tracks, and then produces them, primarily as records. He’s intrigued by the mystique of records. Besides collecting historical records, he focuses his spare time innovating in the processes of record production, packaging and distribution.
The challenge for an artist as busy as Dave is that he continually has to manage his time by asking himself, “what do I want to do today? do I want to play music, or edit and produce it?”
His love for technology has driven him to build his own studio, an impressive enclave full of analog and digital production equipment. He used to begin his search at 5:00 am each morning scouring newspaper ads for used synthesizers to add to his extensive collection. Thank God the internet came along and made that job easier! His favorite medium for electronic expression is analog, which produces “big, thick, fat sound”. Dave feels there is a “warmness” to analog sound that digitally produced sound just doesn’t have, but enjoys working digitally as well for his ability to manipulate the output. “It’s like working with puzzles” Dave says.
Dave recently did a 6 channel surround sound engineering project for “First Friday” on Santa Fe Ave in Denver and another on Platte, the art event where galleries open their doors for the first Friday evening of the month. Another recent project is with the Aurora History Museum and Regis University Department of War History honoring the heroes of our wars! Dave is also working on a project to collaborate with Denver International Airport for “Everything Art”. The annual CMKY Festival in April of 2012 in Boulder is also on Dave’s radar screen. The festival brings in electronic musicians from all over the world. Laurie Anderson, the renowned performance artist is a headliner at the event, so Dave will be in esteemed company!
Dave has an interesting point of view relative to making, producing and listening to music. He believes the next few years should prove an interesting passage for those who get their music through the internet and for those who make music. All of his music is available for free download at his website! While we live in challenging economic times, it’s an incredible time to be a musician, an artist or a writer with the changes in technology and platforms available to us. It’s exciting to see the wave of innovation that is occurring again. Dave is a great example of a musician who’s determined to collaborate on music-making, but also passionate about producing and distributing his music without the help of a large music company.
Round about this time in our interview, I am wondering if Dave ever sleeps!
He then starts talking about his personal interests. He chases storms every spring! He is an avid Rock Hound! He is a fish breeder! He collects historic record memorabilia! Dave and his son have developed an IPAD application to redirect surround sound!

Going through some old photos I pulled out some from the trip to Groaning Cave. Hopefully I’ll get to visit this cave again once the white nose bat fungus is no longer a threat!
Groaning Cave, Garfield County Colorado, August 1991
I met Adam in my early days in college in Boulder. We hung around in the dorms at CU and throughout college including working together at the Marquee Club in Boulder into the mid 90s (the period when we were closest); we’ve had many, many, many a great time! He was an amazing artist and a goofy, hilarious, fun and simply incredible guy! Adam would often liven up a conversation, my day, and was known to single-handily take a mundane party into the stratosphere!
We did some very fun parties together at his warehouse in the far reaches of North Boulder. Remember the first early Raves in Boulder?, his place was the map point. Whatever the reason to hang out, as long as it involved lots of debauchery he’d approve of it! He had his place decked out with crazy art over every square inch which was always fun to sit on the ground and just stare at his creations; you’d catch something different each time!
He threw many costume parties where he would ask me to DJ. His only request was to make it different than the “typical crap they make you play at the club”! One of the series of large parties he threw was Holy Beer Bombs, I, II and III. Many dressed in costumes, of course, because that is what one did at a Godamawicz party. He always referred to me as DJ Krap-E or some other ridiculous DJ or MC name (the “E” thing was a joke with us as every rave DJ in the land wanted to have an “E” in their name). Everyone looked forward to these parties and everyone always had a great time!
Adam continued on having a very successful career in the gaming world; he worked as a concept artist for video games. Although I’m not a 1st person shooter fan, the work he did for Fallout 3 was simply worth wandering around its 3D world! He also painted great beer glasses! Here is a great blog showcasing some of his work for Fallout 3 game. Here is another article showcasing his artwork for Fallout 3. Here is his personal blog.
My simple tribute is to share the wonderful flyers/posters he did for several of the parties that he threw. Adam was an incredible friend during those times and is a person that–as anyone else that has had the fortune of having him in their lives–one would never forget! I must say to Adam, thanks for the wonderful times and memories!
Taken from VHS HiFi, here is the first 83 minutes (I have 3.5 hours recorded, but the tape gets funky in spots) of the party; mostly industrial then some EBM/Techno. Later on there is some house, acid jazz, and other weirdness; but again due to quality control; I’ve left that out.
Recently I was rearranging a bit and pulled down these modules from display in my studio. I decided it was time to research these further and add some pictures for the Internet. I have very little information about these modules so far so I’m assuming I.W. Turner, Inc. was a fairly small operation and I suspect these were marketed towards schools as educational modules. Hopefully I will uncover more information in my search and update this post, and I’ll get a set of 9V batteries I’ll see what kind of sounds I can produce with these unique devices! Looking into a couple (especially the Sequencer!) they are in a bit of dis-array inside, so I need to do some troubleshooting work as well. We’ll see what I can come up with. Contact me if you know ANYTHING at all about this company, these modules, or anyone that might have more information or modules!
I did some searching and was able to chat with Donald Tillman who worked for I.W. Turner, Inc. and created several circuits for these modules. Here is some of our email conversation:
Dave: What was the target market and do you know roughly how many were available?
Donald: The target market was specifically music classes in elementary and middle schools.
At the time synthesizers had just become popular (the development of Moog, Buchla, ARP synthesizers, Switched-on Bach, the synth in progressive rock music, Beatles, the Monkees, the hokey Moog albums, etc.) and this was a way to introduce children to some of the basic concepts in electronic music in their school music classes. An untapped market.
The “modules” were all self contained, battery powered, very simple. They usually came in a set of 8 (?) with a wooden rack. They were sold through music education distributors, and maybe some direct. They were never intended to compete in the regular synth market, and they were never sold in regular music stores.
Dave: Do you still stay in contact with I. W. Turner, Inc. or have contact information so I can reach them for more information?
Donald: I don’t, unfortunately. I really should have stayed in touch.
“I. W. Turner” is a fictitious name; there’s nobody that we know of with that name.
The company was founded by William Fish who lives in Port Washington. He’s a very accomplished music educator in the Port Washington public schools and community bands. And he’s a bit of an an inventor and entrepreneur. The company was mostly him. And he hired neighborhood school kids and neighbors to do some of the manufacturing and other work.
The first IW Turner product was an electronic metronome. Again, intended for the school market.
Dave: Can you elaborate more specifically on what you did for them while you worked there? Can you talk to any of the modules that you designed, or any fun stories from that time working there? I am starting from scratch and know nothing, so any information you could share would be wonderful.
Donald: I was a very nerdy kid and pretty accomplished in music and electronics at an early age. Bill was the band director at the high school, I showed him some cool electronic music thing I built, I think it was a ring modulator, and he hired me part time. This was probably in 1973.
At the time I joined he had the modules in production, but my ring modulator circuit (based on the Motorola MC1496) sounded much better than his original (a transformer and diode circuit). Not only was my circuit more accurate, it was an aesthetically more musical sound, and it showed off what a ring modulator does much more dramatically (which was the main point of the product). And it was a lot less expensive to manufacture. So he switched to using my circuit for the ring modulator module. Then similarly with the triangle, sawtooth and square generators.
Basically, if the module has an IC in it, it’s my design. Otherwise it’s one of the original designs that Bill had some consultant do.
The sequencer was completely mine. It’s a composing sequencer inspired by an article in either Popular Electronics Magazine or Radio Electronics Magazine (I forget which) about the Triadex Muse, which was an MIT project using digital logic chips and pseudo random sequences to compose weird little tunes.
My sequencer does interesting things by adjusting the weights on a 5-bit binary counter (really four bit, but the clock is a square wave so we can pretend it’s a 5 bit count). All CMOS. If you set the top knobs to 5 2.5, 1.25, 0.625, 0.3125 you’ll get an up staircase. And a down staircase for negative numbers.
It’s simple, but nothing else sounds like it. There’s usually one note that’s lower than all the others, and so it goes something like “deedle-deedle doodle-deedle deedle-deedle BLAT!”. And I always thought that the BLAT gave it a ton of personality.
This is the king of Analog-style analog sequencers, it is VERY rare and powerful! I actually ended up with two of these amazing sequencers; and that is simply more sequencing power than I need and I’m looking to sell or perhaps a trade is more what I’m looking at. If you are interested, let’s talk!
This genoQs Octopus Classic Legacy is one of the first ones to make it into the United States. This German sequencer is absolutely beautiful in hardwood and in great condition; its built like a tank! For those unfamiliar with this hardware sequencer, it is currently only a MIDI sequencer but I suspect since the operating system is Open Source (thank you genoQs!!!) that there could be an OSC version coming…we’ll have to wait and see on that.
The sequencer may look intimidating at first; but after you get your head around the workflow it actually is very musical and easy to create great sequences with. It has 2 MIDI ports (A & B) with an In/Out for 16-channels on each port. The circle area controls the transport, chording, transpose, bpm and other various sequencer controls. The rectangle grid are the sequencer tracks. 10 rows of 16 steps that can be expanded to a single track of 160 steps, or any number of tracks/step combinations that you desire. Completely configurable. One way I like to use this is set up a page with each of the 10 rows being a different MIDI note number. Then you can craft your sequence across the 16 steps and always be in key (one thing I didn’t like about older analog sequencers without quantization). Of course, this is just one way to craft patches with the sequencer; there are many many more!
Another cool feature of this sequencer is it is a great hardware sequencer for your software/laptop setup. You can control Ableton, Logic or other sequencing packages and configure all the knobs (which have many banks to extend the amount of knobs) to be real-time control of whatever parameters of your soft synths! So you are in full control of your soft synths with an analog-style sequencer; with plenty of knobs to change parameters in real-time! This is another amazing way to utilize the sequencer.
If you are familiar with Elektron style sequencers and parameter locks; the Octopus can do this too. On any given step of your sequence you can adjust anything of that step (note, length, start, etc etc etc etc); whether you’re hooked to a laptop, keyboard, drum machine, sampler or whatever. The object-based design makes the user interface powerful and you’ll be creating amazing patterns quickly. There are also really great chording features with a “strum” mode and transpose is powerful in performance too. For editing, you can play around in a temporary “buffer” and if you want to revert it is a simply click away! The sequencer then lets you chain with some really sweet chaining features.
You can record from an external keyboard/sequencer/computer to load your sequences. I was able to make it control surround sound using MIDI CCs which is really sweet by recording surround control from my iPad! I suspect with a little work you can control all your Christmas lights with this thing too…it has been a dream of mine to do; but I’m not a Christmas lights kind of guy…
There are 3 general modes, the Grid mode which is mainly used for control of patterns; double-clicking on a button in the grid drills you into one of the 160 pages which is full of your tracks with sequences. You can adjust, create, delete, and generally control your sequences from this mode. However, double-clicking on a button in Page Mode takes you into the step mode on that step where you can see and adjust all the detailed parameters of a given step. The Esc button takes you back out a level; so everything this can do is basically one or two button presses away. Note there is no LED or computer screen; this is a good thing with this sequencer!!! Again, once you understand the paradigm it is a simple and powerful sequencer! I’ve demoed this for very sophisticated software sequencing musicians before and they wanted to write a Max/Ableton patch to give a computer-based representation of the sequencer…I just laugh as they obviously don’t “get it” and are making things way way too complicated!
If you’re familiar with the classic Latronic Notron sequencer, this also has the concept of hyper steps; I believe the Notron was the initial inspiration for this sequencer.
This isn’t an iPad or computer; it is hardware, so you will need to take a little time with the manual and/or these how-to videos but I was able to get great music out of this within an hour of opening the box! Heck, the first thing I did was drag your hand across the grid and then sit in awe for minutes on how amazing this sequencer is! Once you have the basics down the unit becomes intuitive and very quick to create music and sequences! For me, only one other manufacturer of gear has ever been as creative (Elektron Sweden).
The unit is in great condition and has only been out of the house once–I used it at an smoke-free venue for an electronic music festival. Laptop jocks take note…with this thing in front of you, there will be a line of people watching you memorized by all the blinking 3 color LED lights, silver ball bearing buttons and custom made brushed bolt/knobs. It really adds a dimension to a live show, especially if you are mainly a laptop jock–it’s the perfect companion (I think watching laptop jocks perform is rather boring; add an Octopus and your audience will be transformed!). There is nothing better, however, than having the Octopus sitting next to a modular analog synthesizer; it’s the perfect compliment for any studio or live rig!
So, why am I getting rid of it you ask? I acquired a limited edition version (Black Sea) and that is just more eye candy (like that is needed as this is already ultra-eye candy, but I’m a guy and a gear nerd, so I had to have it)! I’m actually torn as I really like the Classic Legacy version (this one I’m offering) too; it sits beautifully in my studio that has several synths with wood sides. I guess I _may_ be able to be talked out of the Black Sea version instead; but that will require a lot more in trade/cash to persuade me!
I’m looking for analog polyphonic (or perhaps monophonic?) keyboard synthesizers…Dave Smith, Moog, Alesis A6 that type of thing; but am open to suggestions.
Shoot me an email if you have interest in any kind of trade or cash offers and we can go from there.
All the honey was crystallized (yum) so I boiled some water and put the honey in that…after it was nice and warm I was able to with many tries get everything dissolved and in solution. Mixed with about 2.5 gallons of water; but by the time I was through with the de-crystalization I had boiled 4 gallons of must for about 10 minutes. I included the Yeast Nutrient in the boil.
After it cooled down, I added the cheesecloth with the spices and orange zest and pitched the yeast. Will rack in probably 2-3 weeks and add the bentonite then (I don’t have it now…I’ll get it next week, and will also clean and reintroduce the spices.
). Hunter found a huge bi-color (blue/champagne) cubic shaped beast (about 250 carats) and Daphne found a clear, near perfect crystal (about 8 carat) that doesn’t really need cutting as the facets are awesome! Erin found a couple of nice cutters too.
