Craig Wuest

Craig Wuest is an American keyboardist currently based near Atlanta, Georgia. He is best known as the founder and leader of the electronic music group [a=Earthstar] during the 1970s and 1980s. Earthstar was only American band who participated in Germany's Kosmische Musik/electronic music scene while still at its height. Wuest is also notable for his heavy use of the mellotron and the Birotron, a very rare tape loop instrument which could sustain notes beyond eight seconds. Wuest was the only keyboardist at the time other than [a=Rick Wakeman] who recorded albums on which he played the Birotron
