  • Colleen “Night Looping – Movement II”

    Colleen “Night Looping – Movement II”

    Musician Colleen (Cécile Schott) plays a beautiful live set on two Moog Granthmoders, several MoogerFooger pedals. Her cat Sol is sleeping blissfully atop a vintage Roland Space Echo (RE-201). Watch all the way to the end 😺

    From the Instagram post of the same video:

    Today you can listen to the suite of 3 movements that closes the album, “Night looping”, a homage to insomnia, to laying in bed at night and thinking in loops about the best and the worst that could happen to you, or that may already have happened to you… Available on all platforms.
    I hope you will enjoy this video of “Movement II”, which I shot in the sleepy presence of my beloved Sol one week ago. Technical explanations are in the subtitles of the video, and as usual, I’ll be happy to reply to any question you may have! As with the whole album, this song uses only one synth, the @moogsynthesizers Grandmother, and one delay, in this case the Moogerfooger MF-104M. Nothing else, and no digital production involved.

    Meet PixL, who debuts with a couple of very stylized photos. This first one features PixL atop a Moog synthesizer (specific ID left as an exercise to the reader). This next picture includes an E-MU SP-12 drum machine, a Yamaha TG-33, and more. From burnsfield_art on Instragram.

    There’s a new kid in town.

    Big Merp, Yamaha RX5, Modular

    Today we have CatSynth pics with our very own Big Merp, who loves to jump up on the desk. Here we see him with our Yamaha RX5 drum machine and our massive modular system. The Metasonix modules are easy to spot, as are the Make Noise modules. We also have MOTM, Rossum Electro-music, Sputnik modular, 4MS, Malekko, Folktek, Mordax, and more as we get into the second grouping in the distance. We also see a bit of the Arturia MiniBrute 2 and Moog Mother-32. A fuller accounting can be found in the tags.

    Chinook and Moog Opus 3

    Chinook is checking out his latest patch on the Moog Opus 3 by playing a low D. Submitted by Andy Excuse via our Facebook page.

    We also have a more styled version of the photo.

    The Opus 3 may not be the most well-known of Moog’s classic instruments, but it is a great little synth and very accessible, with separate sections for Strings, Brass, and Organ, each with its own Moog-style VCF. It’s been used by some famous bands we admire, including Kraftwerk and Stereolab.
