Emerald Web

Electronic/New Age music duo of Kat Epple and Bob Stohl, existing from 1978-1990. In addition to recording and touring the US, Emerald Web performed in Planetariums and composed soundtracks for Carl Sagan. They released 11 albums, including "Catspaw", which was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1986.
Composing with keyboards, digital orchestrations, flutes, and Lyricon, they created a unique blend of "electronic space music" and acoustic instruments. The Lyricon is an unusual hybrid synthesizer/woodwind instrument that creates a variety of sounds such as electric guitar, oboe and french horn.
Keyboardist, Lyricon player, and flautist Bob Stohl passed away in 1989 at the age of 34. Flautist, keyboardist, and vocalist Kat Epple continues to release albums under her own name, composes television and film scores, and performs concerts around the world. Other musicians who performed or recorded with Emerald Web include Barry Cleveland, Jonn Serrie, Ben Carriel, and Steve Weiner.

From the original release album notes:
A captivating blend of shimmering synthesizers and intricate flute passages. Progressive, ethereal music by Emmy Award-winning artists Kat Epple and Bob Stohl. They augment their sound resources with an entire orchestra of computer and manually-controlled electronic keyboards. Digital orchestrations integrate the sounds of harps, bells, violins, cellos, oboes, percussion and piano. The album is composed of a wide variety of elements from the magical enchantment of the pieces, "Fog" and "Time Particles", to the delicate textures of "Soft Silence the City". This album was released on the legendary Audion label which featured some of the finest electronic musicians in the world. Catspaw is Emerald Web's 9th album.
"The Web continues to blend organic, elemental timbres of flutes and other acoustic traditional instruments with the latest tools of musical technology. From their earliest album together, (1978) "Dragon Wings and Wizard Tales" to "Manatee Dreams of Neptune", they have always remained true to their vision of a beautiful simplicity, yet paradoxically their music exudes an alluring warmth and elegance through technology." —Robert Carlberg, music reviewer for Electronic Musician Magazine
