CatSynth Pic: Miep and Roland D-70
Our feline friend Miep is back, this time with a Roland D-70 synthesizer. FromDennis Matana via http://www.facebook.com/catsynth .
The Roland D-70 is not as common as the iconic D-50. You can read more about it on Vintage Synth Museum . Interestingly, it appears to have at least as much in common with the U series as the D series, and never achieved a similar popularity to the D-50.

It was in response to a via matrixsynth, originally from Electronic Musician. It described the many years of synth innovations from Ikutaro Kakehashi, one of the visionary elders of the synthesizer world and founder of Roland. He passed away earlier this week.

Vacuum Tree Head and Census Designated Place at HSP2017
It’s been a busy musical time for us at CatSynth. Last week I performed a solo set and collaborative pieces with Amy X Neuburg at the Jewish Community Center in Berkeley. This weekend, I have two more performances, again in Berkeley, as part of Hardly Strictly Personal 2017. It’s a three-day event featuring a wide range of experimental and adventurous music, and benefits EarthJustice and the Homeless Action Center. You can see the full updated schedule, as well as ticket and location info here.
Vacuum Tree Head will be playing tonight, and my fusion/experimental project Census Designated Place (CDP) will be playing on Sunday. I have been busily preparing to make my debut on the Roland VP-03 Vocoder in both bands. Needless to say, between that and the various everyday tasks of an adult in San Francisco, we haven’t had as much opportunity to post here. Regular (?) CatSynth pics and more resume next week.
