About the G.A.E.B.: The G.A.E.B. had its begginings in the late 60's. It emerged as a music ensemble simultaneously with the experimental sculptural instrumental creations of designer Richard Waters. Although some individual instruments may have been heard by the general public on L.P.s, T.V.Dramas and in Movies. This will be the first time a complete sound journey has been taken(during which time many of the instruments may be heard simultaneously) and played by foundation members of the G.A.E.B. Some musicians already exposed to these original instruments are: Lalo Schifrin, Roger Kellaway, Shelley Manne, Emil Richards, Dave Grusin, The Grateful Dead. The G.A.E.B. is basically an organic music ensemble. However, any instrument(traditional) or, for that matter, any sound producing object(which includes electronics) could be considered valid withing the open ended musical framework of any G.A.E.B. composition."
