Cat Modulator (Clarita & Stylophone Theremin)

Cats seem to just go together with the Stylophone Theremin. Here we see Clarita with one, from @datachild on Instagram via Stylophone’s official account.

We definitely need to get one of these here at CatSynth HQ!

You can see our recent review of the rare Stylophone Gen R-8 here.

And the viewer-inspired follow up

An unexpected jam! (Moog Matriarch, Oberheim TEO-5 and Sequential Take 5)

From our friend and CatSynth TV superfan I Love Cats and Synths, we have a video featuring the beautiful Bella!

I was playing with the Matriarch arpeggiator when Bella stepped on the TEO-5 sequencer button and started it playing a preset sequence which actually went well with what I had going already. I added another arp from the Take 5 to round it out. My kitty is creative!

Ziggy Cat Cool (ARP TRAX)

We found this gem via our friend Bill T Miller, a musician, engineer, filmmaker, photographer and kook. You can hear and download the track from his Bandcamp page.

We see several ARP instruments, including an early Odyssey and a 2600. We also see a Buchla modular system and a Eurorack modular system. Bill and Ziggy have a great setup.

You can find out more about Bill’s multi-faceted work via billtmiller.com.

Although we connected recently, via our mutual friend Dina Pearman-Ifil of the ARP Foundation, it turns out Ziggy was featured in this post several years ago.

Monty and Nord

Monty looks ready for his recording session with our friend Dave Newhouse.

Monty caught trying to lay down some keyboard tracks on the next album!

If Monty does lay down some keyboard tracks on the Nord, we at CatSynth will look forward to hearing them.
Please check out our review of Dave Newhouse’s Natura Morta on CatSynth TV (if you haven’t already done so).
