Haku helps his human pal Erik Ribeiro (@eriksuperlazy on Instagram) unbox and set up new modules from Infinite Machinery. Erik got these back when we were all at Knobcon. I, too, am still setting up some of the modules that I acquired there.
It appears the Infinite Machinery modules in question are the TZ (thru-zero) Dual VCO and Low Road filter.
And here they are installed and set up to make some noise.

Vilkutas sits in front of an impressive Doefper modular system. The look on his face makes it clear that this is his 😺

Gibbous stands proudly atop a Novation UltraNova. Behind him, we see a large Eurorack modular system. We also see a Nord Modular and sundry pedals.

Chihiro was eager to climb into the bottom section of the XAOC Box. Once again, I was moving stuff around which meant taking just about everything out to get to the ribbon cable headers.
This expression speaks volumes 😸
We found this gem via our friend Bill T Miller, a musician, engineer, filmmaker, photographer and kook. You can hear and download the track from his Bandcamp page.
We see several ARP instruments, including an early Odyssey and a 2600. We also see a Buchla modular system and a Eurorack modular system. Bill and Ziggy have a great setup.
You can find out more about Bill’s multi-faceted work via billtmiller.com.
Although we connected recently, via our mutual friend Dina Pearman-Ifil of the ARP Foundation, it turns out Ziggy was featured in this post several years ago.

This photo, which was spotted by our friend and regular reader @scrottie on Mastodon, is apparently of Aphex Twin’s cat in his studio. We were able to track down its provenance, and indeed it is from the companion tracks released to SoundCloud in conjunction with the Syrobonkers interview (with David Noyze). Here is the full playlist on YouTube, with the cat photo.
I actually quite enjoyed these little modular experiments, quite inspiring.
Leo has it all. A vintage Nagra tape recorder on which to nap, a large modular system, Monome Grid and Arc controls, and a SOMA Laboratory Pulsar in the back.
