    It provides the features that iOS users currently enjoy like creating and sharing recordings with Mystery Synths and following other users, and a beautiful new material-design interface. Indeed we think this new Android version looks better than the iOS version 😉 – but don’t worry iOS folks, an update is coming soon.

    If you have an Android device running Lolipop (5.0) or later, please check it out! You can get the download and more info at the Google Play Store.

    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.

  • 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.
