ARP Exhibition Opening — Tech Talk & History Flashback
Event Details
Join us as we host a pair of insightful educational panels exploring both the technological innovation and personal history behind ARP Instruments.
The Tech Panel will feature Jim Heintz, founder of Way Out Ware and developer of ARP-inspired virtual instruments like TimewARP 2600 and SynthX, alongside Dan Goldstein of Cherry Audio, creators of modern virtual synthesizers modeled after classic analog gear, and Marcus Ryle, innovator and entrepreneur in music and audio technology for over 40 years. Together, they’ll offer a look at ARP’s enduring influence on music technology and its continued relevance in today’s digital sound landscape.
The History Panel will provide a more intimate and personal perspective. Join Julie Lewis, widow of legendary electronic music pioneer Don Lewis, Dina Pearlman-Ifil, daughter of ARP founder Alan R. Pearlman and founder and executive director of the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation, and LaMar Mitchell, synth programmer for Stevie Wonder and keyboardist for Bernie Worrell and the Woo Warriors, Mary J Blige, Busta Rhymes and more, as they share stories and reflections from the early days of ARP. Together, they will illuminate the creative spirit and human ingenuity that helped shape the legacy of ARP Instruments.
