Our very own Big Merp leads off the new round of CatSynth pics after NAMM and Buchla & Friends.
Behind him, we see the large modular system, with the Make Noise Tempi, Buchla Red Panel 158, Stymon Starlab, Sputnik Dual Oscillator, Dreadbox Euphoria, and many other modules. Next to so, and slightly under Merp, we see the Korg SQ-1 step sequencer.
A fun jam with a cat and a Korg Eletribe EMX -1 in a studio full of other synths. A great way to start the week!

Ringo poses for us in the middle of “his” studio, which he shares with our friend Damien Olsen. We see multiple Korg keyboard synths, a Waldorf Blofeld, Line 6 pedal, and more. We also see some of Damien’s artwork hanging on the wall.
Some thoughts from Ringo:
“I like more sardines than contemporary electronica.
For me the golden age of electronic music is the 70s and the 90s, not crazy about the 80s.
and the last 25 years totally sucks, too much technology,
ego and noise, poor imagination”
I know we’re probably all tiring of holiday music, but I will make an exception for Julie’s original compositions.

Haku helps his human pal Erik Ribeiro (@eriksuperlazy on Instagram) unbox and set up new modules from Infinite Machinery. Erik got these back when we were all at Knobcon. I, too, am still setting up some of the modules that I acquired there.
It appears the Infinite Machinery modules in question are the TZ (thru-zero) Dual VCO and Low Road filter.
And here they are installed and set up to make some noise.
A soothing ambient track by George on his trusty Casio keyboard. Check out his Instagram for more performances.
He seems to really be relaxed and enjoying himself, too.
