Charles Cohen and Signal 2 Boys Live in Philadelphia.
If you don't know who Charles Cohen is, check out this post. Title link takes you to more info on the show tonight. Do a find for Cohen when you get there. If you want to see a Buchla live and you are in Philly, here's your chance. According to Charles Cohen's website, the show starts at 8PM and is actaully free.
"SIGNAL 2 BOYZ is Philly's most angular, funky, and explosive electro-acoustic improv unit, featuring the legendary Charles Cohen! Utilizing a deceptively simple system known as "Transformative Groove", the ensemble creates shifting grooves, timbres, patterns, and structures that are about as unpredictable as they are infectious.
Signal-2-Boyz is: -Charles Cohen (Buchla Music Easel Synthesizer/electronics) -Amnon Freidlin (guitar/loops) -Andrew Gaspar (turntables/electronics) -Joe Lentini (MIA: Jamaica) -Evan Lipson (bass/devices) -Dave Smolen (analog electronics)
The ensemble's general aesthetic has evolved into a process of sonic layering or lamenationin which sounds may be frozen in real time (and/or from a previous moment), by a hyper-subtle process of looping and manipulation. Careful attention is payed to aspects of foreground and background texture, dynamics, density, pulse, contrasting colors, as well as various modes of poly-rhythmic/metric/tempic playing.This type of playing is smoothly juxtoposed with a more freewheeling yet interlocking language of varying complexity, where a large emphasis is placed upon purely timbral and sonic experimentation. These two areas freely flow in and out of each other, creating a sound that can often become quite raucous and 'grooving' (in the truest sense of the word...an area that S2B generally feels is largely ignored by most in the field of experimental improvisation), or very spatial and reduced in texture..."

Seiko Drum Machine Watch
I was looking for more info on the Seiko rhythm machine in my previous post, and I ran into this. Trip. It's a drum machine watch. Title link takes you to more shots. I also stashed them here in case the page goes away when they sell it.
Toxygene - New Flickr Set
Title link takes you to the set. Anyone know more about this piece? It looks like some sort of rhythm machine by Seiko. Update: turns out it's a tuner. See the comments section of this post.
Manuel Clement - Paysages
According to this HC post, the music on Manel Clement's Paysages is all Dave Smith Polyevolver. If anyone can confirm please do. You can definitely hear evolver on it. Pretty interesting showcase of the evolver and good listening.
Vintage Synthesizer Breakout
Yep... Title link takes you there.
"Do you want to play Moog System 55, Oberheim 8 Voice, Yamaha CS80, SCI Prophet 5, Roland TB-303 and many other vintage synthesizers? Free? Without any time limit? Yes, of course you can do that, you are at Sound Of Music now - everything is possible now! Download Vintage Synthesizer Breakout 1.0 (4.67 Mb) and start to play with your favorite vintage synthesizers. The game, including the "game music", is programmed by Torbjörn "Toby" Frisk, Sound Of Music. There are no Mac version. There's a small hint: Avoid the corners if possible (we don't have the solution for that yet). The program is an exe-file, so you can play direct without install the program (nice if you are at public places such a library etc)."

Sound of Music
Title link takes you to the Sound of Music site where you will find Julie Andrews, oh wait, not that Sound of Music. Bwahaha. Hopefully that either resulted in a cringe or a laugh. Take two. Title link takes you to the Sound of Music site where you'll find a load of vintage goodies including Vintage Synthesizer Breakout. Saving the shot for that on my next post (above), so I can put the following beauty up.
