A quartet of cat-and-synth photos from mubotics, via matrixsynth:
Pixel and the Roland SH-101:
Tessie and the Korg MS10:
Sonar and the June 106 (what a great name for a musical cat):
Sprocket and the M-Audio Axiom 61 (technically, just a controller keyboard):

“”Bigfoot the cat gets minimal on a Roland JD-800”
Bigfoot should really join in one of our Droneshift performances!
Originally titled “Analog and digital Synths work together…Mini Moog, Synthesizers.com.” From Synthiefrau on YouTube, via matrixsynth:
Hi Folks, the night is cold and grey and I play Synthesizers. Sorry for the mistakes, I play live. My siamese cat Cleo listening, she love Synths also. Mini moog leadsound, Synton Syrinx leadsound, the sequenz is from the Modularsystem, My left Hand played the Roland V-Synth. Effects comes from the Roland Juno 60 and my little “kloiner Racker” Doepfer Dark Energie.
Synthesizers are my life!!1
Watch Cleo during the video. Like Luna, she sits quietly and puts up with her human’s weird sounds, but will make it very clear when she wants some attention for herself.

“Different Skies 2009 in Arcosanti, AZ. Our guest percussionist sits in on the Roland V-Drums.”
I also see a Digidesign Mbox 2 Pro.
UPDATE: “[the cat is] named Mischa. A real sweetie, too!”
From Davide, via matrixsynth:
“Pallina has been caught stomping on my MS20, she was trying to scramble away!!!!!!
Featuring a Juno106, a Solton Project100, Zoom pedal, eeepc and some diy modules under construction!!!”
We have seen a close-up of Pallina with the Solton Project 100 before.

“when to cat massage? whenever!”
I am of course reminded by this catsynth video from a couple of weeks ago.
Another video this Friday: Kittysleep on Roland SH-101 via matrixsynth.

“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.
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.
