I had a feeling that this looked…familiar. Well, turns out I was correct, we originally posted it back in 2007 under the title “EmmeSynth”. (That was nearly three years ago, wow!). From the original post:

Weekend Cat Blogging and Photo Hunt: Addiction

The theme of this weekend’s Photo Hunt is addiction, which leads to the obligatory catnip photo for Weekend Cat Blogging:

Of course, Luna’s real addiction seems to be grass:

Not only does she enjoy her little pot of grass, but will also immediately find blades growing out of flower pots on our patio (something I wish she would not do).

Lest we pick on cats entirely, we at CatSynth have many other “addictions”:

This is perhaps still my favorite red-wine photo from the archives.

Here are some colorful cocktails, which also symbolize our “addiction” to color and geometry:

Sometimes the visual aspect is better than the taste.

We at CatSynth are certainly addicted to our environment, our life in the city, the visual stimulation, our home, music, playing with cats. In truth, one needs only to browse the pages of this site or visit our photo gallery to witness images of “addiction.” Blogging itself is an addictive activity, and indeed must be in order to be successful.


Weekend Cat Blogging #255 is hosted by Pam at sidewalk shoes.

Photo Hunt 210 is hosted as always by tnchick. This week’s theme is addiction.

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

And the friday ark is at the modulator.

CatSynth video: Korg DS 10 Improvisation: Tiger Slides

If you haven’t already seen our “Earth Day wildcats” post from this weekend, please check it out. Meanwhile, here is another big cat, with accompaniment on a Korg DS-10. From peasant2general on YouTube, via matrixsynth:

“A small improvisation using only a Korg DS-10, no external effects, only edited out the boring parts 😉

Sorry, but I forgot to also record it on video, so I put up a simple slide with tigers, just because c: Enjoy!

PS: sorry for the lack of bass end, trust me the DS-10 does have some nice bass!”

“E’ troppo soooo cute ! A parte il fatto che è un felino e oltretutto un cucciolo, e da qui tutti gli infiniti pregi di questi esseri,ma poi dico : lo vedete ? E’ superbo ! Effetti completamente dopanti !”

Of course, it’s easy to sound good when you only lie on the black keys 🙂

“That’s Aki, he’s on the Arp 2600. As for the modules, a little bit of everything- Metasonix, 4MS, Malekko/Wiard, Make Noise, The Harvestman, FoH, …. and even a little bit of Buchla in front of the 2600.”

“auto-un-installation of girl-cat module”

Among the cutest cat-and-synth videos I have seen so far 🙂

Can anyone identify the any of the modules?
(UPDATE: thanks to prophei for identifying the synthesizers.com modules)

UPDATE: we actually featured Francesca back in 2007.
