    I’m uncertain whether the cat is included with this 1939 vintage Hammond Novachord synthesizer: https://reverb.com/item/1731392-hammond-novachord-tube-synthesizer-from-1939

    I suspect it may be necessary for proper operation.

    “Had a new Mini-Joop for about a half hour before Slinky had to give it a try.”

  • Vacuum Tree Head Live at Berkeley Arts, January 10, 2016

    On January 10, 2016, Vacuum Tree Head performed at Berkeley Arts as part of the “Hardly Strictly Personal” benefit festival curated by Mika Pontecorvo. We played a short instrumental set that featured refinements of existing songs from our previous performance as well as new compositions. You can see and hear the highlights in this video.

    As you can see from these highlights, it was short and energetic, and we certainly had a lot of fun playing.

    The band was led as always by Jason Berry, who also played soprano saxophone and electronics. The rest of the best included Amanda Chaudhary on Nord Stage and Moog Sub Phatty keyboards, Michael de la Cuesta on guitar and synthesizers, Rich Lesnick on saxophone and bass clarinet, Thomas Scandura on drums, and Stephen Wright on bass. Mixing, editing, and interstitial music was done at CatSynth HQ; and the animations were by J.B.

    It would be interesting one day to pair a Sherman Filterbank with the modular synth at CatSynth, including the Metasonix modules…
