Steve has a music and opinion site and a cool cat comic as well. I think I've seen some more cat-synth pictures there…

Weekend Cat Blogging #110: Preparing for tomorrow's performance, part 1
With my performance for the 7th Annual Skronkathon neary upon us, I am spending more time in the studio trying to prepare musically but mostly dealing with technical glitches.
Of course, Luna wants to participate:
But it's really about what she wants, which as always is a little love and attention:
So while we continue to get some actual prep-work done, you can go visit the WCB roundup, hosted by our friend Dragonheart, who celebrates his first birthday next week (just one day before we at CatSynth celebrate our first anniversary).
And for more feline-blogging fun, check out the Friday Ark (where we are always late), and Carnival of the Cats. And lest we forget, this weekend is the first Bad Kitty Chaos Festival (not that we would ever consider Luna or any of our feline friends to be “bad”).
And if you have a chance, Luna has been writing a few journal entries of her own over at Catster, including the much dreaded trip to the V-E-T this past week.

CatSynth pic: Stop the noise!
From sushiluv, whose photos have appeared here a few times:
I see a Sherman filterbank. Remember that Sherman has a cat and filter banner.
Anyone want to guess the rest of the gear? -

A nice warm spot for a nap.
Guess the synths and keyboards.

CatSynth Pic: Blue Kitty
Submitted by daddio from tapewarm (Music from Marz):
This is a great pic. And I've been to the tapewarm site before. They have a lot of great free MP3 downloads of their music. One of the frequent guest performers is Lx Rudis, with whom I have played at least once…

First LolCatSynth "contest"
Remember this photo from a few days ago?
Well, this photo has inspired several lolcat captions, including on this original post:
“im in ur ether, changing ur capacitanz”
There are several more suggestions on this repost at matrix.
So am calling the first LolCatSynth contest, to write even more lolcat captions for this photo. Please leave your suggestions in the comment section.
There isn't really any “prize” or “winner” for this particular contest, though I will be happy to do the actual captioning for my favorite submissions, as well as post them (with credit) to the popular lolcat sites.

Theremin Cats
From Brian Sacawa: Sounds Like Now:
The context for this picture is Sacawa's lament that early theremin virtuosi concentrated on trying to get the instrument to play traditional western tonal music, rather than exploring the radically new ways of organizing pitch and structure afforded by the instrument. This is indeed something that concerns me about many of the efforts going on to “de-experimentalize” computer music and simply turn it into another tool for traditional classical or popular forms. The great promise of electronic instruments is to allow people to break with the traditions of acoustic music. But Sacawa concludes:
Maybe if more cats–unlike humans, who are so grounded in western tonal music–played the theremin we might witness the instrument's full potential.
And thus we have theremin-playing cats.
