Iasos began receiving music in his head from another dimension when he was a college student in 1965. He called it 'Paradise Music', and it was unlike anything he had ever heard. These incoming signals, and his efforts to translate them into sounds for human ears, set him on his life's journey. Today, Iasos is recognized as one of the fathers of 'new age' music. We visited him in Marin County, California, where he took us on a hike, played the Pipes of Pan, and debated with us about heavy metal music.
