A Conversation with Patrick Gleeson interviewed by d'ARP (Dina Pearlman-Ifil of the Alan R Pearlman Foundation and daughter of Synth Pioneer founder of ARP Synthersizers: Alan R Pearlman,

Patrick Gleeson (November 9, 1934 - July 19, 2026) was an American musician, synthesizer pioneer, composer, and producer. He is known for working with jazz musician Herbie Hancock, and for scoring film and television.

NOTE: Though this video interview took place in November of 2023, the release didn't happen as planned for a variety of reasons.

Because this is the last video interview with Patrick, we thought it would bring joy to us who are now mourning him, and be historically important to those who didn't know about this industry giant.
