New Podcast: World of Wonder with DJ CatSynth, September 26, 2013
The latest, and second-to-last, episode of the World of Wonder is up and posted for your listening pleasure.
For a complete playlist, please visit Spinitron.
This show will be coming to an end soon, with a final show on October 10. It has been a great experience, but no longer sustainable given an increasingly frequent performance schedule, maintaining this site, and making sure to set aside enough time each week to take care of myself and Luna. It is possible that I will start up an independent podcast in 2014, so stay tuned…
Wordless Wednesday: Driving Through the Desert
CatSynth pics: Korg MS-20 with KORG 35 Filter & Synth Cat
Via matrixsymth:
Currently listed for sale here. “This vintage MS20 is THE MS20 to buy if you’re looking for an original Korg 35 filter version in both great physical and functional shape for a very reasonable price and shipped from WITHIN THE US, NOT JAPAN, WITH US VOLTAGE! As said earlier, this MS20 has the original Korg 35 filter circuit chips (no screw/daughterboard in the VCA section, front panel has the more grey-ish hue than the later versions, which typically have a more jet black-ish hue). It’s in great physical condition for its age, with only minor surface blemishes, and no missing parts, broken parts, major dents, or major damage. The only flaw I can think of is a very small chip out of the bottom of one of the keys (not visible when viewed from above; doesn’t affect function). There is also a vintage sticker on the right end cap, which could be easily removed…”

In addition to the Akai AX60, there is a Yamaha electric organ, ostensibly a YC-45D.
Weekend Cat Blogging with Luna: Listening Intently.
During yesterday’s rainy morning, Luna sat with me as I listened to the final master for Reconnaissance Fly’s new album. I snapped this close-up with the iPad. She was so calm and poised. And she did listen to the music. I think her favorite track was Oh Goldfinch Cage, not just because of the subject matter, but because its timbral texture is quite different from anything else on the album, with more isolated percussion and sound effects. Lots of things to perk up both cat and human ears.
CatSynth video: Kitty Plays a Theremin
From Eric Lewis on YouTube. Submitted by Paul Hayworth via our Facebook page. Watch the video all the way to the end!
We have a couple of photo theremins here at CatSynth HQ, maybe I can convince Luna to try playing one?
CatSynth video: Make Noise MMG Jam with Kitten
From grillobeats on YouTube via matrixsynth.
“Now that I have a kitten, it’s become basically impossible to jam on my modular synthesizer. featuring mfb triple osc, peg, doepfer 132, make noise rene and my new mn MMG”
Lots of familiar modules in this one. The kitten seems particularly interested in the Make Noise Rene. I actually haven’t tried out the MMG yet but now I’m curious.
