Today is my father’s birthday

Alan R. Pearlman  would have been 97 today!  Because he was born in 1925, he remembered the George Washington Bridge being built, the Great Depression, was a World War II vet.. he worked on the early NASA projects, saw the first person on the moon. And he built one of the most famous synthesizers in the world.

With celebrating my father’s birthday we also recognize our future—the kids who love their STEM classes, the musicians who have aspirations to make music, or the filmmakers who wish to make soundtracks.

This summer we are trying to raise a minimum of $15,000 for the following projects:

  • ARPs for ALL – insurance, restoration and repair of instruments
  • ARPchives including scanning, digitizing and licensing rights to rare photos. See also: Google’s Music Makers and Machines!
  • Our first residency at ARPs for ALL (estimated $10,000 for housing, transportation and engineering assistance)
  • Grantwriter(s)

We will also be holding our Fall Synthposium and Fundraiser 2022: A Fifty Year ARP Odyssey!
