Via matrixsynth, where you can find additional still images and information about the new documentary I Dream of Wires.

You can find additional pics via IDOW on Facebook.

You can find IDOW on IndieGoGo here (note although they reached their goal, you can still donate and order items).

This is also a reminder that I should review cEvin Key’s album, which I have enjoyed for quite a while.

CatSynth Video: Arp Odyssey Strange noises and drones, using sample and Hold modulations

From our friends at polynominal.com, another video featuring images of Mimi. The modulated sounds are quite interesting as well – lots of rich noisy timbres.

CatSynth video: The Scanimate

Moog Little Phatty and the Scanimate

From experimentalsynth on YouTube, via matrixsynth where you can read more and see more images. A cute black cat makes a cameo appearance during the video 🙂

“The first attempt at controlling analog video animation with control voltage created by a Moog synthesizer. Learn more at www.scanimate.com and www.experimentalsynth.com”

“Scanimate is a 100% analog video animation system in use form the late 60s to early 80s. It was used on a number of popular films & TV shows including, Star Wars, Logan’s Run, Sesame Street & NBC Sports. Only eight were built and they originally sold for around $1,000,000.”

It’s interesting to consider in the context of the recently released LZX analog video modular synthesizer.
