“A Phonographic Cat”
From Futility Closet:
This image originally appeared in Strand in August, 1906.
This cat has a liking for the gramophone: it loves to get in the trumpet to sleep, and will not move even when a record is put in and played!

Another day, sitting around the old Electric Range. Bless the Andromeda Space Rockers!
Also on matrixsynth, where you can find more videos (sans cats) including this one:
“A bunch of stuff, all in sync and out o’ tune!
Just having fun with Synthrotek 16-step sequencer kit, and pile o’ goop.”“16-step clock -> Oberheim XK sync in -> MeBlip
16-step step 1 trigger -> Bliptronics trigger -> Electric Western Phantastron Sync in -> ADSR
16-step gate (split 1) -> Pigronix ADSR
16-step gate (split 2) and CV -> Chimera BC9.Somewhat out of tune, hey it’s a demo.
The synthrotek kit is a fun unit….. (i don’t work for them)”

Weekend Cat Blogging #303: Red Stripe
Our busy schedule here at CatSynth continues unabated, with preparations for a second photo event in a couple of weeks and a new music project that requires quite a bit of practice. Yesterday, instead of the usual Saturday morning Weekend Cat Blogging, I pulled off the cover of the Nord Stage keyboard to practice, and dropped the distinctive red dust cover (everything related to Nord keyboards is bright red) on the edge of Luna’s beanbag. But that didn’t in anyway discourage her in anyway from curling up to take a nap – indeed, the dust cover almost looks like a brightly colored blanket.
It’s amazing how Luna can nap through just about any type of music. This morning it was songs by the Cardiacs – a little different than our usual fare, but fun and challenging. You can get a taste for what this sounds like (and what Luna is putting up with) below:
Then again, it can’t be more challenging than some the very artificial experimental sounds that she hears living here.

CatSynth video: Keyboard Cat Plays SXSW
Or maybe that’s played SXSW, as this was posted by chuckieart almost two weeks ago.
Austin, TX: Keyboard Cat knows the only way to get real cred at SXSW is to put up a bunch of posters and set up and play on the street! It’s more exciting than an iPad 2 store!
Also reposted on matrixsynth.

A delightfully weird video that will definitely wake one up on a Monday morning.
Weekend Cat Blogging: Video and photography
For Weekend Cat Blogging, we present another video of Luna looking out the window. She is exciting about something she saw and is chattering away. There is also a very cute expression about 30 seconds in.
Yes, I have quite a few videos of Luna chattering or “window-hunting.” It’s in part because it’s one of things that makes me want to record video rather than take still images. There is no time to edit this down, as I am busy preparing for the photo show next week. Here one can see one of the featured prints being prepared, as Luna shows her disdain for the whole process.
Weekend Cat Blogging #302 is being hosted by Samantha and Clementine at Life from a Cat’s Perspective.
Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at Pet’s Garden Blog.
