A fun little jam from our friend Kamal Sabran and his cats. Watch for a close-up of our non-plussed feline friend grooming right through the jam. I like the way the drum sounds and rhythms have been chopped up with loops, delays, etc. And as always, I’m curious about what the reel-to-reel is contributing.
Cats
“CatSynth” artwork by Martin Hůla
We have another beautiful artwork from Martin Hůla. This one features color blocks with simple lines and shapes. It reminds me a bit of Miró, or even Picasso’s “three musicians” series (but with brighter colors).
From Hůla’s Instagram temnysily, which I highly recommend.
Little Bread on a big Juno 106
We see Bread much younger (and smaller), sitting on a Juno 106 vintage analog synthesizer.

Monty lays down some keyboard tracks
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.

“CatSynth” Artwork by Martin Hůla
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.
