CatSynth video: Cat Watching a MiniBrute Video
Original title en français: Miss Papée qui prend des cours avec Franco
From francolamuerte·159 on YouTube, via matrixsynth.
“Teaser ! Savoir comment accorder un oscillateur analogique sur toute l’étendue de sa plage d’octave, ça vous intéresse ? En tout cas, moi j’ai connais une que ça intéresse vivement : ma fidèle et unique Miss Papée !”
It looks like Miss Papée wants to touch the MiniBrute 🙂

Weekend Cat Blogging with Luna: Minimoog!
Luna is inspecting the latest musical acquisition here at CatSynth HQ, a vintage Minimoog synth. She is always curious to check new arrivals out, with some close sniffing along with visual inspections. Then she looses interest. She is, after all, a cat.
The astute (and synth-savvy) observer may also notice a Mixtape Alpha sitting on top of the Minimoog. Both instruments offer interesting possibilities, the the tiny Mixtape Alpha is more practical for live performance.

CatSynth video: Grumpy Cat gets Keyboard Cat toy
First CatSynth post of the new year, this one features both Grumpy Cat and Keyboard Cat (in toy form).
Not surprisingly, I have one of those keyboard cat toys. I have used it in performance and it might make an appearance this Saturday at SOMArts’ 100 Performances For the Hole. Stop by between 7-8 to catch my 4-minute feline-themed set!

2013, The Transformative Year
[click image to enlarge]
Once again, it’s time for our traditional end-of-the-year image at CatSynth. The past couple of years have all been good, rich, full, and sometimes complicated. But 2013 has been particularly significant, certainly one that I will long remember. As the title says, it has been a transformational time on multiple dimensions for me, indeed it has touched almost every aspect of my being. There will be more to say on that in the coming days. Music and art have been going very well, too, and one of the main challenges of this coming year will be to build on the successes of this past year but in a more directed way. If that sounds vague, it’s because I haven’t quite figured it out yet.
For Luna, things pretty much are the way the always are. Such is the life of a contented house cat. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Thanks to everyone who reads and supports this project, whether here at the blog, on Facebook, or through the many personal friendships that grown from here. You are all what makes this work worthwhile!

CatSynth pic and video: Zafo the Sub Phatty Cat
From Jonh Wei-Haas and our friends at Moog Music, Inc., we present Zafo, the Sub Phatty Cat.
By now, we’ve all seen Keyboard Cat. In the original video from 1984, a cat named “Fatso” plays a decade-approriate jam on his electronic keyboard. Nearly 30 years and 30 million views later, we have a successor to the Keyboard Cat throne. Armed with only a Moog synthesizer and plento of gusto, “Zafo” the Sub Phatty Cat treats his audience to 53 seconds of incredibly decade-appropriate jams in the video below.
