Merp and Modular

Our very own Big Merp leads off the new round of CatSynth pics after NAMM and Buchla & Friends.

Behind him, we see the large modular system, with the Make Noise Tempi, Buchla Red Panel 158, Stymon Starlab, Sputnik Dual Oscillator, Dreadbox Euphoria, and many other modules. Next to so, and slightly under Merp, we see the Korg SQ-1 step sequencer.

Ringo in the studio

Ringo poses for us in the middle of “his” studio, which he shares with our friend Damien Olsen. We see multiple Korg keyboard synths, a Waldorf Blofeld, Line 6 pedal, and more. We also see some of Damien’s artwork hanging on the wall.

Some thoughts from Ringo:

“I like more sardines than contemporary electronica.
For me the golden age of electronic music is the 70s and the 90s, not crazy about the 80s.
and the last 25 years totally sucks, too much technology,
ego and noise, poor imagination”
