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!
Spotted by Reconnaissance Fly bandmate Tim Walters.
Just a pretty picture of Luna on a pleasantly gray Saturday morning.

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)”
From an auction, via matrixsynth:
“It’s the J-wire version, with the good power supply.”

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.

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!

“Freaky presets from Chronos”
A delightfully weird video that will definitely wake one up on a Monday morning.
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.

As casually mentioned on a recent post, I have an photo show coming up next week here in San Francisco. Here is the formal info:
Tuesday, March 22 at 4:00pm – April 22 at 1:00pm
Philz Coffee
4023 18th St
San Francisco, CA
Solo show of photographs by Amar Chaudhary on the wall of Philz Coffee in the Castro. The theme centers on graffiti and urban scenes from the Bay Area, New York and Shanghai.
The photos go up on Tuesday March 22. No formal opening per se, but I do expect to be there in the afternoon and evening if you’d like to drop by!
They will remain up for about the month during regular business hours thereafter (6AM-8:30PM weekdays, 7AM-8:30PM weekends).
It’s going to be relatively small, about 8 pieces. At least half of them have appeared in small form on this site over the past couple of years.
