A little light entertainment from rathergoodstuff, via matrixsynth:
Cats with Autotune. If you are easily offended by Autotune, you probably don’t want to watch this video.
This is the same rathergood.com that did this classic chillin’ kittens. I still like that one better – you can see it here.

You can see the original Ensoniq Fizmo here.
I was interested in some of the things the Fizmo (and other late model Ensoniqs) were doing with “trans wave” technology. But I think I have that an more with software-based granular synthesis.

“Fishpants is about a year old in this picture. She has decided that living in my studio is a good idea.”
We at CatSynth agree.
This weekend we at CatSynth sing the body electric (with apologies to Walt Whitman) and present another combined Weekend Cat Blogging and Photo Hunt.
Electricity and electronics are a central part of our existence:
Luna poses with an electric guitar, cables and our Mr. Echo delay pedal. Below we see Luna posing with another of our electronic devices, a Korg Kaos Pad:
Electricity permeates not only our music but art as well. Here we see a piece entitled Reflective by artist Roy Forest. It contains a red neon light running the length of bamboo tube.
For WCB, note the Suzhou cat and maneki neko on the shelf about the sculpture.
It’s interesting how there is a black and red theme throughout the images in this post. I only noticed that after completing it. It has a suggestion of fire to it, and fire and electricity have a strong connection.
More electricity. This morning, we were awakened by a large electrical storm with loud thunder and flashes of lightening. It’s a remarkable coincidence, as thunderstorms are quite rare in San Francisco. They lasted most of the morning, and some neighborhoods lost electricity. Our area was not affected by the outages, and in the end things just got a little damp.
Weekend Cat Blogging is hosted by our friends LB and Breadchick at The Sour Dough. We know they will appreciate the audio and music gear featured in this article.
Photo Hunt #178 at tnchick features the theme of electric, with the prototype image being an electric guitar.
Kashim, Othello and Salome are hosting the Carnival of the Cats this Sunday.
And of course the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

“Our 4-month old cat, Millie, ticking the ivories on a friend’s Polysix I’m fixing.”
This weekend we have a video of Luna playing with one of her mouse toys.
She can get quite intense in her play. It is a delight to watch.
