“Up for grabs is a super ultra rare bend by the infamous Tablebeast.
To my knowledge he only did twp bends on this particular Casio model and the other keyboard went to Trent Reznor’s studio during the With Teeth sessions, or at least that is the story Jesse Savage told me. He sent this to me as part reparations for a custom amp project that went seriously wrong (ie never delivered).
Own one of these rare gems, its got glitch soul for days, nothing like it.”
Sadly, the auction is long over. But many other opportunities for glitchiness await…

Wordless Wednesday: Blue Pipe
A serendipitous Wordless Wednesday, taken during a concert at the Uptown in Oakland, California. I liked both the architectural detail of the pipe against the brick, and the blue lighting.
Video from the show – the Active Music Series 10th Anniversary festival – will be up on our companion channel CatSynth TV soon. Please subscribe at https://youtube.com/CatSynthTV.

CatSynth Video: OP-1 synth sounds and initial track idea with cats
From Synth & Sundry on YouTube, via matrixsynth.
“Starting to make a new track with the Teenage Engineering OP-1. First I go through some of the sounds I used and then an initial arrangement that I hope to build on. My two cats came to see what I was up to in the process of shooting this.”
