Weekend Cat Blogging #274 and Photo Hunt: Heatwave
Summer has finally arrived with a heatwave that brought even San Francisco into the mid 90s F (30s C). And our apartment tends to get even warmer:
Luna was a bit uncomfortable in the heat, but it was a good excuse to nap (as if cats need an excuse for that). And a napping cat is a good excuse for experimenting with the camera (such as fun with low f-stop settings):
It’s been another busy week – yes, that is a familiar phrase here at CatSynth – and I haven’t been home very much. So I left fans running for Luna, and even a small ice pad out for her on the hottest day. I think we’re both a little tired out, physically and mentally. But it’s a long three-day weekend, and the fog has once again returned with its calming and creative influence. I think we will enjoy it.
Weekend Cat Blogging #274 is hosted by the handsome pair Jules and Vincent at Judi’s Mind over Matter. Jules, the black cat, often appears when we host WCB, so we’re returning the favor this week.
Photo Hunt 229 is hosted by tnchick, with the apropos theme of Hot.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted this Sunday by Kashim, Othello and Salome.
The monthly Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos will be hosted by Nikita and Elvira at Meowings of an Opinionated Pussycat.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

From rarebeasts on flickr:
“Can’t get a camera out without luna turning up.
The EM-Tronic is a small hand held synth that makes a large range of electronic noises.”
You can see the EM-Tronic in action in this video:
Quite a variety of sounds in such a small box.

Weekend Cat Blogging #273: Another technological encounter
Luna has a moment of self discovery.
Notice any resemblance?
Luna is just not as interested in technology as some other individuals are, but she deigns to pose with the Smule Magic Piano.
I might use the Magic Piano in today’s performance, depending on how it unfolds. I will definitely be using at least one other app, Curtis, with some vocal recordings I made last night. Luna was a little perplexed by my practicing the text for today, and interrupted me several times with her own recitations.
Weekend Cat Blogging #273 is hosted by Elvira at Meowings of an Opinionated Pussycat. She anxiously awaits for submissions to come in.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted this Sunday by Samantha and Clementine at Life from a Cat’s Perspective.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

CatSynth video: goodmorning theremin 3 with my cats
From fatern on YouTube, via matrixsynth:
“goodmorning theremin 3
play in japan.
saijyo wataru & fatern’s song.
song call[shirouma]”
This what a theremin can sound like when one plays it well. And the bending tones fit quite well into more traditional Asian music – it reminiscent of a bowed string instrument.
Another sample:
“morning theremin play in my house at Osaka.
I Love JC77&moog sounds!!!
