From our friend and CatSynth TV superfan I Love Cats and Synths, we have a video featuring the beautiful Bella!
I was playing with the Matriarch arpeggiator when Bella stepped on the TEO-5 sequencer button and started it playing a preset sequence which actually went well with what I had going already. I added another arp from the Take 5 to round it out. My kitty is creative!
We found this gem via our friend Bill T Miller, a musician, engineer, filmmaker, photographer and kook. You can hear and download the track from his Bandcamp page.
We see several ARP instruments, including an early Odyssey and a 2600. We also see a Buchla modular system and a Eurorack modular system. Bill and Ziggy have a great setup.
You can find out more about Bill’s multi-faceted work via billtmiller.com.
Although we connected recently, via our mutual friend Dina Pearman-Ifil of the ARP Foundation, it turns out Ziggy was featured in this post several years ago.
Monty looks ready for his recording session with our friend Dave Newhouse.
Monty caught trying to lay down some keyboard tracks on the next album!
If Monty does lay down some keyboard tracks on the Nord, we at CatSynth will look forward to hearing them.
Please check out our review of Dave Newhouse’s Natura Morta on CatSynth TV (if you haven’t already done so).
Suzy sits atop a Moog Etherwave theremin. She is well within the electromagnetic field of the instrument, so she should be able to play us a little something.

This photo, which was spotted by our friend and regular reader @scrottie on Mastodon, is apparently of Aphex Twin’s cat in his studio. We were able to track down its provenance, and indeed it is from the companion tracks released to SoundCloud in conjunction with the Syrobonkers interview (with David Noyze). Here is the full playlist on YouTube, with the cat photo.
I actually quite enjoyed these little modular experiments, quite inspiring.
Leo has it all. A vintage Nagra tape recorder on which to nap, a large modular system, Monome Grid and Arc controls, and a SOMA Laboratory Pulsar in the back.

A beautiful Scottish Fold cat poses with a Moog Matriarch, a Roland VP-03 boutique vocoder, and a Korg NANO controller. I also see what looks like a vintage Macintosh mouse.
