Cammi Granato (plus Eddie Lack) with Synths, Pedals, and More

Cammi Granato sits comfortably next to a live board featuring Red Panda Context, Particles and Bitmap pedals, Make Noise 0-coast and Strega standalone synthesizers, and an AKAI MPX-8. Above is a Roland SE-02 synth, monitors, and “an electro-acoustic thing made by Flesh Vomit.”

Canine Eddie Lack chills nearby as well, providing us with a rare DogSynth pic.

From our friends Scott and Deb via Mastadon. They are a big part of the group that made the recent Wonder Valley Experimental Music Festival happen. You can see our highlight reel of all the acts from the festival in the video below.

Tuna and Novation Bass Station

Tuna is back after a hiatus from CatSynth. And he is now sporting a cool blue and white collar that matches the Novation Bass Station on which he is napping.

Hello @catsynth this is Tuna. It’s been a long time since he was last featured here with a synth. As you can see, he now has a blue and white collar. There are houses very near us that are being built so we need Tuna to wear a collar for ID.

And, appropriately, he’s napping on top of a @wearenovation Bass Station 2 which matches his colors.

CoCo and Industrial Music Electronics feedback console

CoCo returns. Daniel Warner – who submitted this photo via our Facebook page – says she is “listening while I’m working with the Industrial Music Electronics feedback console…”

The “Industrial Music Electronics feedback console” includes a Joemeek VC1 Studio Channel, a couple of Mic-preamp-and-equalizer units from Daking, and Klark Teknik 1176-style leveling amplifier.

Cheddar, Big Cat, and “Bassjolele” (Bass Banjolele)

Cheddar shows off his “bassjolele”, a bass banjolele. His brother Big Cat snoozes behind him.

Submitted by our friend and musical collaborator Brett Warren via our Facebook page.

Brett appears as a bassist on many of my musical projects, including a couple of tracks on the most recent album, and on the track Merp Friend from our earlier EP.

The banjolele is a relatively new instrument to us. It has a banjo-style body, but a ukelele-style neck with four strings. The bass version is even more unusual.
