    Xander on a grand piano

    Xander sits atop a lovely grand piano along with his horse toy. An acoustic piano isn’t a “synth” per se, but it certainly fits within the continuum of musical instruments with cats that we welcome here at CatSynth. (Think Nora the piano-playing cat)

    Our friend and fellow composer/musician Cat Temper submitted this image of a little “Hello Kitty” noise synth via Instagram. The Hello Kitty synth is a creation of Lullaby Machines, which has an Etsy Store with some audio and video synths.

  • Sora, Polyend Tracker, Teenage Engineering OP-1

    Sora, Polyend Tracker, Teenage Engineering OP-1

    Sora naps atop a Polyend Tracker audio workstation. It doesn’t look very comfortable, but cats sometimes have their own opinions about this. We also see a Teenage Engineering OP-1 nearby.

    An adorable kitten plays with an iPhone synth app, making continuous theremin-like sounds.

    From the Instagram account of the synthpop duo Sad Pajamas. You can hear one of their tracks (with feline-themed cover art) below and via their Bandcamp page.

    Lautrec sits atop a vintage EMS Synthi A.

    Lautrec lives with Keith Winstanley in the home of Milo and the late great Jet. Follow the links to see their photos here on CatSynth.

    A fun fact: this particular Synthi used to belong to Dean Honer of I Monster and Moonlandingz fame. Now, of course, it belongs to the cats.

  • Big Merp loves scritches and rock music

    Big Merp loves scritches and rock music

    Our cat Big Merp loves rock music with keyboards and he loves scritches. In this styled short, he is enjoying both.

    Jack White’s concert film “Jack White: Kneeling at The Anthem D.C.” is playing in the background.

  • Cat with SOMA Pulsar 32 (“No Contact”)

    Cat with SOMA Pulsar 32 (“No Contact”)

    I’m a little envious of this cat having a Pulsar 32 from SOMA Laboratory (I’m still hoping to have one of SOMA’s works of art here at HQ in the not-too-distant future).

    The featured track “No Contact” by SUBEXT is off their album Indigo System, available on the Facade Electronics based in northern Mexico.

    El asistente de estudio

    This little studio assistant, or el asistente de estudio, is checking out some great synth gear, including an ASM Hydrasynth; he also has his paw on a Rumble of Ancient Times from SOMA Laboratory. To the left our feline friend is a Moog DFAM.
