Our friend Charles Whiley is restoring and upgrading a Roland JX-8P. We see Ansel (black and white) and Olive (tabby) hanging out nearby.

CoCo and Industrial Music Electronics feedback console
CoCo returns. Daniel Warner – who submitted this photo via our Facebook page – says she is “listening while I’m working with the Industrial Music Electronics feedback console…”
The “Industrial Music Electronics feedback console” includes a Joemeek VC1 Studio Channel, a couple of Mic-preamp-and-equalizer units from Daking, and Klark Teknik 1176-style leveling amplifier.
Cheddar, Big Cat, and “Bassjolele” (Bass Banjolele)
Cheddar shows off his “bassjolele”, a bass banjolele. His brother Big Cat snoozes behind him.
Submitted by our friend and musical collaborator Brett Warren via our Facebook page.
Brett appears as a bassist on many of my musical projects, including a couple of tracks on the most recent album, and on the track Merp Friend from our earlier EP.
The banjolele is a relatively new instrument to us. It has a banjo-style body, but a ukelele-style neck with four strings. The bass version is even more unusual.
Blue, Keyboard, and Zoom H2 recorder
Meet Blue, who sits atop a keyboard and keys a few keys for us. We also see a Zoom H2 recorder. Submitted by Mike Sheldon via Mastodon.
This is Blue, certain music causes her to come and yell at me until I stop.
Millie and Roland Juno 106

Sylvester and Modular
Sylvester inspects his large modular installation. It’s actually three different modular systems. To the left is Serge format, to the right is Eurorack and in the middle is 5U.
From our friend Elise of Slope 114. You can hear what they’re up to musically via their Bandcamp page.
