NOTE: Tom Tadlock has rarely been mentioned in these pages. He was a "mad-inventor" electronics whiz whose studio facilities provided the launching pad for Tuxedomoon in the early days in San Francisco. He designed and built custom devices for us of strange and unearthly origins. How often I would hear him locked in his room, working out on an vintage device called an "Optigon" which he had synched up with his console Moog. It was Tadlock who schooled all of us in audio production and plain taught us how to record music. I think it is safe to say, that had there been no Tom Tadlock, there would have been no Tuxedomoon, or at least not in the form we know.

This is a small video of one of Tadlock's sculptures, from his early days in New York.

Bide well, Mr. T, wherever thou mayst be.

 

Thomas Tadlock, Quadrilateral Light Case With Changing Geometric Designs, 1967

An experiment in light, Tadlock's sculpture of random geometric patterns was exhibited at the Howard Wise Gallery as part of the Lights In Orbit exhibit in 1967. Tadlock was later also a participant of the gallery's TV as a Creative Medium exhibition in 1969. The following excerpt is from the Howard Wise Gallery Archives, Super 8mm, color, silent. Overall dimensions: 24 x 25 x 22 in.
