Once again, the local promoter is devoting an entire edition of its pioneering synth-music series, Modern Moog, to honoring obscure masterpiece Mother Earth\u2019s Plantasia by outsider synth hero Mort Garson. <\/p>\n<p>But perish any hippy-dippy thoughts. As an album whose intended audience is not humans but plants, this is a landmark monument of weirdo art. Live performances by Orlando acts Tele and the Ghost of our Lord, Void Modular and Synthetic Motion will perform on a stage outfitted by botanical designer Florosa Designs. <\/p>\n<p>7 p.m. Wednesday, April 22, Will\u2019s Pub, <a href=\"http:\/\/willspub.org\" type=\"link\" id=\"willspub.org\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">willspub.org<\/a>, $12-$18.<\/p>\n<p>Orlando\u2019s daily dose of what matters.
