Big Merp on the Nord Stage
Our very own Big Merp serenades us with a tune on the Nord Stage here in the studio at CatSynth HQ.
We were in the process of finishing Part 2 of our series along US 50 in Nevada. Maybe I’ll add his contribution to Part 3 😹🛣️

KC and modular
Beautiful black cat KC sits atop a very large and impressive modular system. We also see a Novation controller.
From our friend Jack Hertz, whom we hope gets a chance to share the modular with KC.

Colleen “Night Looping – Movement II”
Musician Colleen (Cécile Schott) plays a beautiful live set on two Moog Granthmoders, several MoogerFooger pedals. Her cat Sol is sleeping blissfully atop a vintage Roland Space Echo (RE-201). Watch all the way to the end 😺
From the Instagram post of the same video:
Today you can listen to the suite of 3 movements that closes the album, “Night looping”, a homage to insomnia, to laying in bed at night and thinking in loops about the best and the worst that could happen to you, or that may already have happened to you… Available on all platforms.

I hope you will enjoy this video of “Movement II”, which I shot in the sleepy presence of my beloved Sol one week ago. Technical explanations are in the subtitles of the video, and as usual, I’ll be happy to reply to any question you may have! As with the whole album, this song uses only one synth, the @moogsynthesizers Grandmother, and one delay, in this case the Moogerfooger MF-104M. Nothing else, and no digital production involved.You can find more of Colleen’s music at colleencolleen.bandcamp.com

Kamal Sabran jams in the studio with his cat
It’s always fun to check in with our friend Kamal Sabran as he jams in his unique studio with his cats. We see a Behringer Neutron, a Roland SP-404SX, a vintage Ace Tone Rhythm Fever, an analog oscilloscope, and reel-to-reel. I’m definitely curious about what the reel-to-reel tape is contributing to the music in this jam.
