Welcome to the Plasma Portal blog. I decided to start this blog to discuss my musical creation efforts and other related interests. Plasma Portal is the name of my band consisting of one member (myself) but occasionally I have had guest musicians join me. I am planning to move some of my other music related blogging activities here from my MySpace site: http://www.myspace.com/hans_mikelson/blog. My main music distribution site is through reverbnation: http://www.reverbnation.com/plasmaportal. On that site you can check out some of my latest music. I previously used MySpace for Plasma Portal: http://www.myspace.com/plasmaportal .
I'll provide a bit of background to get you started. I had been fascinated with electronic music since the 1970s or earlier with musicians such as Tomita and ELP. I started getting into synthesizers in the 1980s with a Yamaha CS01, DX100 and Casio SK1. This began my synthesizer collection which has grown to include many more synths over the years. I became involved with Csound in the mid 1990s and produced a large collection of software Csound effects and instruments many are still available from Rick Boulanger's site: http://www.csounds.com/. I also became involved on mp3.com during this time and published most of my songs to mp3.com on the album Teknology World. Mp3.com used to be a site where anyone could join and post music similar to what Reverbnation does now. You can find out about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3.com.
A few years ago I started going to open mics and jams and started getting back into music again. I usually play harmonica with Phil Circle when he appears in Eau Claire http://www.philcirclemusic.com/.
