Ron Geesin to appear on Floydian Slip

Posted November 21, 2010 by Floydian Slip

Avant-garde multimedia artist Ron Geesin will appear on “Floydian Slip” next weekend.

Geesin collaborated on the 1970 film soundtrack “Music from The Body” with Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters. That album turns 40 years old Nov. 28.

Geesin also worked with the band on its 1970 “Atom Heart Mother” album, struggling to handle orchestrations on the epic “Atom Heart Mother Suite” while the band was away on tour.

Geesin is only the fourth guest to appear on “Floydian Slip” in the show’s 20-year history. Sleeve designer Storm Thorgerson was on the show in 1997; sound engineer Andy Jackson appeared in 2001; and “Wall” artist Gerald Scarfe was a guest just a few weeks ago.

Geesin will appear on show #764, which will air Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 27 and 28.
