Whenever I see a Eurorack modular, I am curious about the modules I have never seen before. I certainly don’t have the “cat head” module yet!

It has been exactly 9 years since I first brought Luna home from the Santa Cruz County animal shelter. This was her official photo from the shelter.

It was already clear with that face and those green eyes she was going to grow up to be a beautiful cat. And she has been a sweet and faithful animal companion for almost a decade now.

Please join me in wishing Luna a Happy Gotcha Day!

We’re back after a brief blogging hiatus, with more cats and synths.

Handsome bengal cat poses next to a Roland synth that I had never heard of until now. Via matrixsynth.
“The Roland RS-101 is a 61 key string synth, which also includes a brass section. Being a string synth, it is fully polyphonic, but programability is limited. This is in pretty decent condition, and comes with a flightcase.”
Presumably, cat not included.
My eccentric long-standing fascination with numbered highways has long been reflected on this site. Here we see Luna contemplating a couple of our most recent sign acquisitions.

So what exactly do we do with these? Well, besides just the human tendency to collect things of interest, I have used signs in artwork, photography, video and I am now expanding into more modes of live performance. Mostly, dealers advertise these as “perfect for your man cave”, something which does not interest us at CatSynth in any way. For Luna, they are just more strange objects that pass through her territory. And great neck scratchers.

Coincidentally, I just acquired a QuNexus, but I don’t think I will be participating in the video content. But if you have one, you should. And if your entry includes a cat, send it our way (either via the contact button or leaving a comment here) and we’ll repost it 🙂

From Hernán Baldi on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge.
“That cat has one nice Yamaha CS30L.”
Note the box on floor for both “Micro Moog” (sp) and Moog Prodigy.

It’s been a while since Luna has made an appearance on CatSynth, a situation that is entirely my fault. But today we start to correct that with some photos of Luna over the past month.

I am happy to report that Luna is doing fine. The same busy-ness that has limited my posts here has sometimes meant less time to spend with her. And Luna does her part to make sure I feel solidly guilty about this.

When I am home, we do spend as much time together as we can, including relaxing together. This usually features copious amounts of cuddling and purring.

She can sometimes make it difficult for me to get up and do other things.
And of course, there is napping and sleeping. She is a cat after all. One recent day when she was exceptionally sleepy, I was able to tuck her into the covers for this cute picture.

I do hope to make this visits with Luna a regular feature again, along with the backlog of reviews and other posts in the queue. Such is life at this moment.
