Sam Sam, MiniBrute 2, Modular, Octave CAT

Black and white cat standing on a covered synthesizer and keenly inspecting the patch bay on an Arturia MiniBrute 2 analog synthesizer.  Next to her head is a small modular setup with modules from several manufacturers.

It’s rare that Sam Sam ever gets up on one of the synth desks, so when she did I rushed to snap some photos. This was the best one, with her standing on our vintage Octave CAT (safely covered) and inspecting the Arturia MiniBrute and RackBrute modular setup.

A full account of synth brands in this photo can be found in the tags.

Make Noise, Mutable Instruments, Mordax, More

A beautiful black-and-white photo of a tabby cat in front of a modular system featuring modules from Mutable Instruments, Make Noise, Mordax, and more. I do like alliteration, but we do also see interesting modules from Noise Engineering and 4ms.

Toulouse and Modular

Handsome Toulouse sits atop a modular system featuring modules from a wide variety of makers, including Make Noise, Mutable Instruments, Noise Engineering, Expert Sleepers, Wrong Electronics (the intriguing-liking Vector Space module in the lower left). From hshmodular, who also has a series going into detail on several of the modules on their Instagram. Check it out!

“Cat Dance” (Chase, Marie Ann Hedonia, and modular)

A delightful jam by Marie Ann Hedonia on a modular as her cat Chase watches.

I hereby title this track “Cat Dance”.

Even though Chase was completely disinterested in helping me produce this track. 😸That’s okay, I forgive him.

It’s #GeminiSeason and 2020 Oram Awardee Loula Yorke has just released on her @bandcamp page ‘Gemini’ a piece of sparkling ephemera to celebrate her birthday.

The track will disappear after 24 hours starting from today.

If you’d like to show her some support, listen/buy this twin oscillator jam track!
