Preparing for Saturday performance
I am busy preparing for the first of three upcoming performances this week. That primarily involves hastily assembling a collection of gear and cables:
For this show, I will be using the Evolver, the Korg Kaos Pad, looping and effects software the MacBook, and several of my Chinese and Indian instruments, including the prayer bowl at the center of the photo. A challenge for readers: how many cats do you see in the photo above?
Meanwhile, Luna sits nearby. She seems to be accustomed enough to the odd sounds from my musical instruments to remain relaxed and even take a nap.
Appropriately enough, Weekend Cat Blogging #232 is being hosted by our audio-gear-savvy friends LB and breadchick at The Sour Dough.
The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at Artsy Catsy.
And of course the Friday Ark is at the modulator.
CatSynth video: My cat plays better synth than me.
From blwvideo on YouTube, via matrixsynth:
“My secret weapon for all two of my synthesizer videos is my cat, Buddy, who is a synthesizer virtuoso. He agreed to share one of his amazing jams with us. First he takes a stab at horror film fx, and then he goes slow and sultry with one of his more jazzy grooves.”
You can also see a related synth video on matrixsynth.

Originally from the French-language version of Audiofanzine. The cat is napping atop an Akai MPC 3000. The MPC 2500 was “represented” in Nomadik Messenger’s performance at the APAture Festival” back in September.
I also noticed an E-MU SP-12 in one of the other photos from this set (sans chat).

I also see a Digidesign Mbox 2 Pro.
UPDATE: “[the cat is] named Mischa. A real sweetie, too!”

We have seen Soma playing synthesizers before.
And try out the soma tag for an interesting mix of what this site is about.

We have seen several pictures of Bob from Maggie Osterberg in the past, often with a Moog.
And please do check out yesterday’s black-cat photo if you have not already done so.
