Back in the 1970's and 1980's, I produced and recorded for a variety of labels including MGM, Laurie, ESP Disk, Bell and Arista. I recorded solo and as a member of several groups including Beatlemania, Edison Lighthouse, California, The Godz, The Left Banke, Thornton Fradkin & Unger and others.
Here's a new video sub chanel for checking out some things from my career stretching back to 1970:

Les Fradkin Orbiter Video On You Tube
Les Fradkin, the Starr Labs Ztar virtuoso, presents "Orbiter" from his "One Link Between Them" CD.
Robert Fripp once remarked in Guitar Player Magazine: "There is a new music to go with this new instrument. Therein lies my interest in the guitar synthesizer. That something entirely new will appear." This COULD be it! Come have a look and listen to a new sound in Progressive Rock.
This album has received wide acclaim in publications such as Keyboard Magazine and across the Internet.
Les, who is classically trained, is moving at Hyper speed. In this video, he's playing the Starr Labs Ztar MIDI Guitar in a Jean Michel Jarre meets Robert Fripp influenced style on his own composition.
The Ztar can be strummed with string triggers or tapped with one or both hands as seen in this video.
The main lead sound is the Les Fradkin Lead Guitar Sample and the Logic ES2. Background sounds are from an M-Tron, Roland XV-5080 and Arturia Soft Synths. The sounds at the intro are made with The GForce M-Tron Pro and Propellerhead Reason.
Take a Journey To The Stars!
MIDI Guitar.... as you've never seen it before!
