Not quite as sophisticated as Nora's piano performances, but still a little feline musical performance.

Although I don't have comfirmation on this, I gather the names of the two ginger kitties are Marx and Engels, and the lower keyboard is an Ensoniq (that's kinda E-MU, right?).
Those are great cat names. Power to the proletariat!

What a cute little black kitty. Reminds me a bit of Luna when I first brought her home 🙂
“Timewarp” is a software simulation of the Arp 2600 from Way Out Ware.

Quote from sduck409:
This little cat was a real spark plug when we got him back in January of 2006. He would jump up and into anything.
Like matrix, we are reminded of Moogy the Moggy
Funny how this photo is tinted blue, and only a day or so ago we had a catsynth photo tinted red…

You might remember Osterberg's previous contributions, including this other photo of Scooter and Bob (Moog).
Well, it looks like we've been nominated for Blogger's Choice Awards in three categories:
Of course, half of all the sites I visit these days are nominated for Blogger's Choice Awards. But nonetheless, we at CatSynth ask for your support, if nothing else it's a bit of fun. I think our best chance is in the Geek Blog category. In the Animal Blogger category, there's very little chance of competing with sites like Cute Overload, dailykitten or the lolcats.
From the nominating statement:
“cats, synthesizers, music, art, opinion” Yes, it's a blog about cats and synths, a strange combination that seems to work. Lots of cute photos of cats posing with, and occasionally playing, music gear. Also features frequent appearances by the lovely black kitty Luna, pretty much the *star* of the site. This site is quite informative, in terms of various global issues, such as pet food recalls, interesting stats of highways, information about people and places (ie New Orleans). This website has many visitors, especially kitty lovers and those people who like music and synthesizers as well. It's got class, it's got variety, best of all, it's got kitties!
I'm glad someone out there appreciates my “highways” posts.
Remember Mimì, our intrepid little synth programmer?
Now she's taking her paws to the Russian (Soviet era) Polyvoks synthesizer.


Thanks as always to Eric of polynominal for submitting these photos of Mimì.
You can hear some samples of a Polyvoks at sequencer.de.
Seems approrpiate to feature a Russian synthesizer today, with the news of the passing of Boris Yeltsin today…
Tonight's podcast is an excerpt from the “Synthesizer Summit” at the Luggage Store Gallery in San Francisco. Basically, the performance is an improvisation by several artists playing hardware synths. If I recall correctly, the artists and their respective synths were:
Synthia Payne: Roland JP8000
Amar Chaudhary: E-MU Proteus 2000 (Mo'Phatt + Vintage) and Morpheus
LX Rudis: Oberheim Matrix 12
Jim Ryan: Arp 2600
Will Grant: E-MU UltraProteus
Note: many subscribers may have heard another excerpt fromt the Synthesizer Summit that I accidentally released a few weeks back instead of the advertised Woodstockhausen 2003 performance (that has since been corrected).
