CatSynth video: Kittysleep Roland SH-101

Another video this Friday: Kittysleep on Roland SH-101 via matrixsynth.

From organfairy on YouTube.

“Lately I have been transferring some of my old tapes to my computer and one of the tapes was a collection of original melodies I made in 1994. At that time I had just got my first two professional instruments: The Roland SH-2000 and the Roland CR-1000 – in fact this is the first melody I ever recorded using the CR-1000. The other sounds are made on toy keyboards: Bontempi KS3400, Kawai MS-20, and the bass was played on a CASIO SA-3 runned through a Boss OC-2 pedal.”

What’s this, more keyboard clutter?

Here are a few pics of Charlotte the cat inspecting a recently
acquired Farfisa Fast 5 organ, that is in my studio / living room.

Note – seen under plastic in the background, top to bottom:
Roland SH-101, Korg MS-2000 and Ensoniq EPS sampler / workstation.

CatSynth pic: DJ Kikovas, with DJ Vivi Pedraglio

Today we feature recent photos from our friends in Argentina, DJ Kikovas and Vivi Pedraglio.

A self described “lady-beatmaker”, Vivi Pedraglio continues to create her live electronic music (with Kikovas’ assistantance) and perform in Buenos Aires and elsewhere. She has also been using an intriguing instrument, the kaolimba. You can hear more of her music at her website or MySpace.

CatSynth pic: Baby and GR-33

From our friend Knox Bronson, a new picture of Baby on a Roland GR-33:

“Baby [was] lying on my gr-33 when I was trying to work on a new song, Baby’s No Help – yes, it’s about Baby. Bad kitty. :)”

Bronson is a new instrumental CD The Seasons, and is releasing a free download per week of his electronic music. The first download is Flight of the Atom Bee.
