  • CatSynth pic: Cat, Korg Poly 800, and Roland

    Submitted by Regina Cherene via our Facebook page.

    The Korg Poly 800 (mkII) could have ended up as my first synth, though it ended up not being the case.  If you have one, what do you think of it in a contemporary context?

  • Weekend Cat Blogging with Luna

    This morning, I acquired the new Silverlake lens and film pack for the Hipstamatic iPhone app and tried it out on Luna. After a few attempts, I got this particularly nice portrait.

    I like that even through the filter, Luna’s green eyes stand out.

    She was also quite talkative, and I captured a short iPhone video where you can hear her sweet little voice:

    The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at the Tuxedo Gang Hideout.

    And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

  • Manda Synth Cat and the World’s Smallest Synthesizer

    From Marie Haddad, via matrixsynth.

    “”Manda the kitty decided to help me write a song today. Somebody needs to get this cat a mic!”

    No cat in this second photo, but that must be one of the tiniest keyboards I have seen:
