Monty and Nord

Monty is getting ready to play some electric piano on his Nord keyboard. From our friend Dave Newhouse (The Muffins, Moon X, and numerous other musical collaborations).

Monty helping with some keyboard tracks for Michael Bass and my collaboration album. (I especially like Monty’s Fender Rhodes sound on this one.)

You can see our interview with Dave Newhouse and Jerry King below.

Wordless Wednesday: Microcosmic

A space-age-looking kinetic sculpture at a station along the new T line extension in San Francisco. The sculpture, titled Microcosmic, was created by Santa-Cruz-based artist Moto Ohtake. Besides being interesting in itself, it’s also cool because I have a commissioned piece by Ohtake here at CatSynth HQ!

Nico, Alesis Electronic Drums and Guitars

Nico is the sibling of Hookah the Cat. He prefers electronic drums like the Alesis set we see in this photo. We also see an array of guitars on the wall and some plush animals – Nico fits right in with that arrangement.

Nico prefers electronic drums and guitars to synthesizers, so I’m not sure if he qualifies for CatSynth – but he does have adoring fans as you can see.

He certainly does and we’re happy to welcome him here at CatSynth. And there is one more little fun fact about him:

Nico likes to steal the drum sticks and hide them from me
