Jean Jacques Perrey and Dana Countryman Live - San Francisco and LA

Via the Analogue Haven mailing list:
"Join Jean and Dana tomorrow night at AH as they show why they're such legends in the electronic music field. They'll be spotlighting their brand new release, entitled The Happy Electropop Music Machine as well as saying hello to all of you who stop by.

Jean-Jacques Perrey is a legend, and a pioneer in the popular electronic music field. He was the second musician to ever own a Moog Synthesizer, and one of the first to record with it, way back in 1966. Over the past five decades, Perrey has released many classic MOOG albums, featuring his trademark crazy tape loops and his catchy original melodies. His theme 'Baroque Hoedown' (co- composed with Gershon Kingsley) has been featured as part of Disneyland's much-loved 'Main Street Electrical Parade' for over 30 years. Even today, Perrey's music has been sampled by countless popular Hip-Hop and Rap artists, including Ice T, DJ Premier, Gangstarr, and many others. At age 77, Perrey is still very much active, and still creating 'Music for Smiles and Laughs.'

A concert review from this tour and more photos available at the wonderful MATRIXSYNTH site. All the fun starts at 5:00pm, so don't be late!!"

The San Francisco show starts tonight at 8:00 PM at Recombant Media Labs. For those of you in LA, as stated above, they will be at Analogue Haven tomorrow, 8/30 5:30 PM, and they will end their tour at the Knitting Factory at 7:30 PM. More details here.

Buchla 200e

No title link. Shot sent in by an anonymous reader. Make sure to click the shot for the full effect. Absolutely gorgeous. Man I'd love one of these as my christmas tree.

Thanks anonymous reader! ; )

BTW, don't miss this post for one heck of a sample of the 200e.

Update: Also check this post for some new samples that have recently been put up.

Dub Jam on bleepsandbloops

Title link takes you to the latest update on bleepsandbloops with a sample.

"Another little jam, this one built solely with the Moog CP-251, TR-606, and the DotCom, live to tape improv style. I was kind of going for a "what if Morton Subotnick did a dub track?" or something along those lines, kind of in the tradition of what Excepter is trying to do with their latest "noise dub" stuff."

Sketch by Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk

Remember this drawing from this post? Turns out the drawing was actually by Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk for Dirk, not the other way around. Pretty cool. Make sure to check out the previous post for a stitch by Herrn Schneider's daughter with a bald Florian. Funny.

Update via Moogulator in the comments: "Dirk sold Florian the ARP as a SHOP, so it was "an ARP of others", not really Dirks but a Synthesizerstudio Bonn [the name of the synth shop] one.. Hope that makes it clearer.. ;) "

Buchla 200e Night Strafe

Remember the 200e By Night? Title link takes you to a video by Todd. Wow. You have to see and hear this. "Everything but the lead was done in one pass on the 200e, the lead is a JP-8."

Thanks Todd!

Tangerine Dream's Christopher Franke's Modular

via Nick

"please find in a attachment a picture, which is part of a research I do for the 80's modular rack equipment of Tangerine Dream's Christopher Franke. The most elements about the rack's contents I found in an 1981 article of UK magazine 'Electronics & Music Maker'. Part of it, as you will see in the picture -upper corner, was a compination of two revolutinary drum modules (using EPROM samples, were custom made for Franke) and an sequencer module (the "rhythm robot") This drum amchine can be heard in "Exit" (1981) and mostly in "White eagle"(1982)albums. Would be helpful if readers and viewers could help intentifying the unknown parts of this thing, which is essentially the 1980 hardware equal of "Reason"!
Thank you very much - Nick"

Thank you! If you can help, feel free to post in the comments.

Update: Make sure to check out the comments. Some fascinating stuff coming in.

New Moroco Synth Coming?

via Ken MacBeth

"I am currently prototyping the moroco stereo synthesizer- it is the moroco and more- twice the height in rackspace too…"

Sequencer.de found the the above on his forum. The image to the left is the old Moroco taken from MacBeth Studio Systems.

Title link takes you to the post on sequencer.de.

I'm starting to visualize walls of MacBeth - M5s, Morocos, M3Xs...

Moogmania

Nice shot. Note that's all new Moog - Voyager, Moogerfoogers and control expanders. And a Future Retro Mobius thrown in for good measure. Not sure what that is sitting on top of the speaker on the lower left. It looks like a Roland MC-202 at first glance but it can't be with two rows of keys. Also not sure what sitting in the middle of the right rack beneath the control expanders. If you know feel free to comment.

Shot pulled from this sequencer.de post.
