	Pink Floyd collaborator Ron Geesin interviewed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Ron Geesin was born in Ayrshire, Scotland in 1943 and began his musical career in 1961 as pianist with The Original Downtown Syncopators (ODS), a jazz band he joined only six days after their first.
		Ron was witness to the strange circumstances surrounding its naming and Atom Heart Mother was taken from a newspaper headline by Waters at Ron's suggestion as an eminently suitable place to look for an urgently needed title.
		Ron is tolerant and good-natured in recalling these events although it obviously pains him that his own career has been blighted by the one-hit wonder status afforded him by these two collaborations some 24 years ago.

	Ron Geesin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ron Geesin is a British musician and composer, noted for his quirky creations and novel applications of sound.
		Geesin first collaborated with the band's Roger Waters (the two shared a love of golf) on 1969's unconventional film soundtrack Music from "The Body", sampling organic sounds, albeit with tape loops rather than a modern sampler.
		After his first solo album, A Raise of Eyebrows, in 1967, Geesin went on to launch one of the first one-man record companies, Headscope, with the self-released As He Stands, Patruns, and Right Through.

	The Sonic Weirdness of Ron Geesin
		Interested parties are encouraged to visit Geesin's website for more details of his weirdness, including glimpses at his installations and poetry.
		Geesin starts with the simple sound of a door (closing, creaking, bumping) and then subjects those sounds to extreme looping and treatments, thereby transforming the household object into a versatile and eclectic musical instrument.
		Geesin's voice also plays a vital role in the music, as does his predilection for splicing words together to form novel new concepts.

		Ron's pieces were done in his studio and Roger's songs were re-recorded at Island Studios, Basing Street nearby.
		This piece fades into the next song on the album, "Sea Shell and Stone," (which lasts for over 2 minutes) is a very pretty and melodic song, with great lyrics from Roger, and shows the promise of his genius for the future.

		The group recorded the framework of the 23-minute-plus number, and then left it in the hands of Ron Geesin to add orchestrations, choirs and such, while Floyd toured America.
		On the original British LP version, the sound of the dripping faucet at the end continued into the record's center groove, making for a constant drip, until the needle was lifted from the album.
		The album's title was allegedly inspired by an Evening Standard headline about a pregnant woman with an atomic pacemaker — a headline that Geesin spotted shortly before the band was to go on the John Peel radio show to debut its then-unnamed opus.

	Scotsman.com News - Features - The man who saved Pink Floyd from unbearable whimsy
		The cartoonish fury of Geesin’s music is similar to that of Raymond Scott who, in contrast to the Ayrshire-born Scot, has become a cult figure in some quarters.
		I believe he’s given up his longstanding post at the Royal College of Art in London, where he was a "creative sound specialist" (ie licensed to make strange noises) in order to concentrate on new projects and on a formidable back catalogue.
		In certain lights Ron looks like a more cheerful, better-fed Spike Milligan, and the sense of humour is similar, though veering toward the dark surrealism of Puckoon rather than the Goons.

		The album was named during the sessions for the BBC radio show, when the title track needed a name, and Ron Geesin suggested to Roger Waters that he'd look through The Evening Standard and see if he could find a title in there.
		The paper carried an article about a pregnant woman with a pacemaker, headlined ATOM HEART MOTHER, and the rest (as they say) is history.
		The cow-cover came to be because the band wanted a cover that was as ordinary and un-psychedelic as possible.

		Don’t blame Ron Geesin, who had to quickly cobble together a score after the band had fled on tour to America, leaving him with only the basic backing tracks to work from and a second-rate studio orchestra at his disposal.
		Even Geesin was unhappy with the final cut and desired to work on it further, but it had to be kept for finicial reasons.

		In 1970, Roger Waters of the Pink Floyd, along with his friend Ron Geesin, a puckish experimental musician much in the Yoko Ono mold, created Music From The Body, the soundtrack to a documentary film about the human body.
		A mish-mash of actual "body noises" wrapped around Geesin's boogie-woogie piano.
		Hands slapping on flesh keep the rhythm, while baby gurgles, armpit squeaks, and rumbles from the thunder-mug punctuate periodically.

		ATOM HEART MOTHER is a collaboration between Pink Floyd and avant-garde composer Ron Geesin.
		When rock operas by the Kinks and the Who were relatively new and Deep Purple was working with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Pink Floyd entered the `70`s with ATOM HEART MOTHER, a symphonic endeavor whose centerpieces are two long compositions divided up into movements.
		Starting out as a chord sequence written by David Gilmour, the title track became a sprawling masterpiece co-written and arranged by Scottish composer Ron Geesin.
