    Ziggy Cat Cool (ARP TRAX)

    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.

    ModularTrax (Aphex Twin’s Cat in studio)

    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.

  • Haiku and XAOC Modular System

    Haiku and XAOC Modular System

    Haiku doesn’t seem too impressed by this XAOC modular system, which is being rearranged in a Doepfer A-100 case. However, we at CatSynth are quite impressed with it.

    CoCo proudly shows off her new modular synthesizer studio, with towering cases of Eurorack modules. I have to admit, we at CatSynth are a little envious of CoCo 😺

    Milo and Buchla Clone Modules

    Milo enjoys some relaxation and pets. In the background, we see a couple of Buchla modules; these are clone modules by Roman Flippov, a 291 dual filter, and a 230 triple envelope follower.

    RIP Oscar, the purrfect Moog Inspector

    Some sad news today in the world of cats and synths. Oscar, the cat whose photo sitting inside a Moog modular went viral and delighted so many, has passed away. We at CatSynth extend our deepest condolences to Oscar’s family.

    Rocky has a great napping spot about a Eurorack Buchla system from Buchla and TipTop Audio.
