Getting ready for today’s performance – noise synth

While preparing for today’s μ-hausen at Camp Happy performance in the Santa Cruz Mountains, I snapped this Hipstamatic iPhone photo of the custom noise synth created by Travis Johns that I will be using.

I think the noisy and somewhat unpredictable quality of some of the Hipstamatic algorithims fits perfectly with this instrument. (Though I do wish the Hipstamatic did a better job of focusing.)

Also in use will be the Wicks Looper, the DSI Evolver, the iPad and the monome.

“Like most modular synthesizer users and builders, I suffer from Serge envy. Thankfully for all of us, Ken Stone licensed some of Serge’s designs to sell as CGS PCBs.

Here is my first module using these Serge designs”

The cat in the first photo is the “project supervisor.”

As another feline reference, “CGS” is “Cat Girl Synth”.
