MELLODRAMA, the Mellotron documentary, has just been released on DVD. Pea appears briefly in the film, discussing the Optigan. Many other Optigan pals appear in the film too, including Mattias Olsson, Zac Rae, Brian Kehew (honorary Optigan fan- he won’t admit it himself), Woody Jackson, etc.

I love Mellotrons as much as Optigans, as they’re both precursors to the modern rhythm and harmony keyboards and synthesizers of today.
I would love to hear an Optigan and a Mellotron work together to make a song.
