CatSynth video: Luna and Eurorack Modular

Today, we at CatSynth have our very own “CatSynth video”. Luna looks on from her favorite beanbag chair as I attempt to operate the newly installed Eurorack modular synth.

This particular improvisation features the Metasonix R53, Make Noise Echophon, MOTM E350 Morphing Terrarium, and Circuit Abbey ADSRjr.

Our video was also posted yesterday by matrixsynth 🙂

Weekend Cat Blogging #370

Cats are smart. They set aside time to do nothing. I suspect Luna will be resting like this a bit during the weekend. As for me, however, I will be quite busy as usual. Today we are working on our final track for the upcoming Reconnaissance Fly album. Tomorrow I will be at Touch the Gear for the Outsound Music Summit.

And somewhere in between we will be hosting Carnival of the Cats. If you would like to participate, follow the link or use the handy BlogCarnival submission form. Alternatively, you can leave us a comment below and we’ll add you to the carnival tomorrow.

Weekend Cat Blogging 370 is hosted by Samantha, Clementine and Maverick.

The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted by us!

And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

Weekend Cat Blogging: Light and shadow

This week, we have an exercise in light and shadow with this Instagram photo of Luna on the window sill. It was taking around 1pm on a Sunday, not the best time of day for photos. But with cats, you can to take the shot when it happens using the tools at hand. The lighting places much of Luna in shadow, which makes her dark fur even darker. But there is also a patch of light on her fur.

Luna is happy to be home after I was out of town for a few days on my desert trip, which was full of quiet stark landscape, intense heat, and “self discovery.” I already shared one photo for the most recent Wordless Wednesday. I am sure I will be sharing more soon.

By coincidence Jules is also showing off light and shadow contrast on his black fur this weekend as he hosts Weekend Cat Blogging at Judi’s Mind Over Matter.

The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted this Sunday by Kashim, Othello and Salome.

Weekend Cat Blogging and Photo Hunt: Flash

It’s been a little while since we have done a combined Weekend Cat Blogging and Photo Hunt. This week’s theme is Flash.

I don’t often use a flash when taking Hipstamatic photos of Luna, but when I do I can get some interesting results.

In addition to the “laser eyes”, we see Luna posing with our heart-shaped kalimba.

Weekend Cat Blogging #368 is hosted by Jules and Vincent at Judi’s Mind Over Matter.

The Saturday Photo Hunt is up with this week’s topic Flash.

The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at Meowsings of an Opinionated Pussycat.
