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.

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!

You can see more of Persephone via her tag.

Bear Performs Arpeggios (Akai, Native Instruments, Behringer, Novation)

Bear performs an arpeggiated solo for us across multiple synths. From HiddenBytes on Twitter.

We see Akai MPK-249 and NI Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 as Bear’s main keyboards. There are also Behringer RD-8 and TD-3 beat machines, a Novation Launchpad, an Akai Fire, and an NI Maschine MK 3.

Dali with MatrixBrute, Sequential OB-6, MPCX, Moog DFAM and More

Dali has quite the impressive synthesizer setup! In front we have an Arturia MatrixBrute, behind him a Sequential OB-6, Akai MPCX, the same Moog DFAM and Behringer TD-3 from the photo of his brother Rothko, a Behringer Model D, and a lot more. If you can name any of the other instruments, please feel free to share in the comments.
