Cammi Granato (plus Eddie Lack) with Synths, Pedals, and More
Cammi Granato sits comfortably next to a live board featuring Red Panda Context, Particles and Bitmap pedals, Make Noise 0-coast and Strega standalone synthesizers, and an AKAI MPX-8. Above is a Roland SE-02 synth, monitors, and “an electro-acoustic thing made by Flesh Vomit.”
Canine Eddie Lack chills nearby as well, providing us with a rare DogSynth pic.
From our friends Scott and Deb via Mastadon. They are a big part of the group that made the recent Wonder Valley Experimental Music Festival happen. You can see our highlight reel of all the acts from the festival in the video below.

Here’s my cat Red helping me with my MPC. He even twisted the main knob to help out.

Persephone in the Studio
Persephone (aka “Mewskers”) is in the command chair of her very impressive studio. This studio is also used by our friend Rob Robinson and his industrial/noise/EBM project Order of the Static Temple (where we found this photo).
In front of Persephone is a Nord keyboard, to her left is a Sequential synthesizer, behind that a venerable Roland SH-101. We also see offerings from Behringer, Akai, Korg, and Ensoniq!

Mae and Akai MPC Live II
The lovely Mae returns and shows off an Akai MPC Live II with a custom skin that definitely makes it pop against her dark fur. Can’t wait to hear what rhythms she makes with it.
