Monty and Nord

Monty is getting ready to play some electric piano on his Nord keyboard. From our friend Dave Newhouse (The Muffins, Moon X, and numerous other musical collaborations).

Monty helping with some keyboard tracks for Michael Bass and my collaboration album. (I especially like Monty’s Fender Rhodes sound on this one.)

You can see our interview with Dave Newhouse and Jerry King below.

Zelda and Nord Modular G2

A very sweet picture of Zelda the cat sleeping atop a Nord Modular G2 engine. From tomhallsonics via Instagram.

I give you a picture of baby girl, deep in a dream state, while I make obnoxious squeaky sounds (how she manages to sleep to it I’ll never understand)

To find out more about Tom Hall’s music, please visit his Bandcamp page.

I have long been intrigued by the Nord Modular, though we don’t have one here at CatSynth HQ.

Max/MSP, Nord Modular G2, and “Bendy Time Signatures”

This cat is quite relaxed between Max/MSP on the screen above and the Nord Modular G2 below, along with MIDI and audio interfaces from iConnectivity and Universal Audio, respectively. From tomhallsonics via Instagram.

get yourself a buddy who sticks around & chills no matter how bendy your time signatures get 😆❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We cat CatSynth couldn’t agree more 😻

Basti with Sequential Prophet X

Basti naps near a collection of keyboard synthesizers, including a Sequential Prophet X. We also see a MicroKorg and a Novation keyboard. From Andras Karoly via Facebook.

Here is a close-up of Basti sleeping.

The keyboard in this photo appears to be a Nord.
