Merp Monday: Novation LaunchPad Pro and Arturia MicroFreak
Yesterday afternoon I was practicing for tonight’s solo electronic concert at the Make-Out Room in San Francisco; Merp decided that two of the main instruments, the Arturia MicroFreak and Novation LaunchpadPro, would make a great napping spot. Adorable as it is, it certainly made it more challenging to use them.
Merp’s rear paws occasionally kicked off beats on Ableton Live! while I was trying to do some playing on the Nord Stage EX (off-screen). Fortunately, he did eventually get up and I was able to continue with my preparations.
If you are in San Francisco this evening, please stop by the Make-Out Room to hear me perform several pieces on solo electronics. No cover charge, and close to public transportation. Details can be found here.
CatSynth Pic: Eliot and DeepMind 12
Eliot the cat sits atop a Behringer DeepMind 12, presumably enjoying the warm analog vibes. Submitted by Stiofan Dubh via our Facebook page.
Eliot helps with spacey sounds.
We at CatSynth are sure he is a great studio helper!
CatSynth Video: When my cat is playing experimental Music
From Sound Provider on YouTube, via matrixsynth.
“Total Studio Life experience today, I was doing some Mastering when my lovely cat propose me to do some experimental drone Music, So here is a part the result 😀
For people who are interested my kitty use a Diy “Garden Synth”, a DIY synth I build years ago after after watching Folktek Resonant or Luminist Garden from the genius Arius Blaze with H9 effects from Eventide and my old Tape delay the beautiful Roland Space Echo.
I build the ‘Garden Synth’ with one old random box + Guitar and Bass String and cheap Piezo Mics”
The Garden Synth reminds us a bit of our Pocket Gamelan.
