Andromeda is back, this time showing off a Eurorack system featuring SYNTHFOX modules. From our friend Justin Sullivan (justin3am), via YouTube.
Synthfox is a small module maker based in Tallinn, Estonia. You can find out more about them and their offerings here.
Monty is getting ready to lay down some more keyboard tracks. He is very prolific, just like his human, our friend Dave Newhouse, who was part of the pioneering band The Muffins and continues to release new music as part of numerous projects that we follow here at CatSynth.
You can watch our interview with Monty’s human Dave Newhouse as well as composer and musician Jerry King in this video.
You can see Monty’s previous appearances on CatSynth via his tag.

A beautiful and captivating artwork with cats and synths. Reminds me a bit of Miro as well as Basquiat, who come from two different time periods and contexts.

Join us as we host the second in our series of ambient outings. The first show went great, with a very attentive audience consisting of friends and experimental music enthusiasts, as well as those who just happened to stop by Rebus Works to shop or grab a bite to eat.

Adorable Mia scampers about the synths in this studio. The background music is a remix of the classic “I Feel Love” by Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder.
Fio is a little startled by the interruption as she works on her new track with the Moog Matriarch. From astral_admiral on Reddit.

Our friend Mr. Maximillion poses in front of a “wall of synths”, including classic offerings from Roland, Akai, and Ensoniq. Among them is an Ensoniq ASR-10; we still have one here at CatSynth HQ.

Musician Colleen (Cécile Schott) plays a beautiful live set on two Moog Granthmoders, several MoogerFooger pedals. Her cat Sol is sleeping blissfully atop a vintage Roland Space Echo (RE-201). Watch all the way to the end 😺
From the Instagram post of the same video:
Today you can listen to the suite of 3 movements that closes the album, “Night looping”, a homage to insomnia, to laying in bed at night and thinking in loops about the best and the worst that could happen to you, or that may already have happened to you… Available on all platforms.

I hope you will enjoy this video of “Movement II”, which I shot in the sleepy presence of my beloved Sol one week ago. Technical explanations are in the subtitles of the video, and as usual, I’ll be happy to reply to any question you may have! As with the whole album, this song uses only one synth, the @moogsynthesizers Grandmother, and one delay, in this case the Moogerfooger MF-104M. Nothing else, and no digital production involved.
