"YMO/Yellow Magic Orchestra finally officially reunites on stage at Live Earth Kyoto, 07-07-2007. I had to purchase a program to get everything set up right video wise, but I know everyone deserves to see this. You'll have the entire concert as I get them up. I'd also like to point out that besides The Police with "Message in a Bottle", YMO was the only band I saw at LE that had songs that were appropriate to the Green message of Live Earth!"

Throat synth

"This started life as a toy voice changer circuit and got a few tweaks. A microphone element is mounted on an ex-chair leg, this can be pressed into the throat to allow un-mouthed vocals to be processed separately from mouthed vocals.
An output selection can be made from an internal speaker, line level and amplified outputs."

The Sonica - Serge

Title link takes you to one more shot via this auction and this auction.

Details:
"Up for auction is the extremely rare Sonica, built by Frank Eventoff. Only 650 of these were ever produced, making it a highly collectible electronic device. Very few are now known to exist, and listed below is some information I discovered when researching the history behind this unique instrument.

In 1979, the first Sonicas were produced, a collaboration with Larry Heller. There were 650 eventually built, but very few are seen nowadays. Serge Tcherepnin of Serge synthesizers (analog modular) did the oscillator design, and the oscillator inside the Sonica is indeed a Serge oscillator! The bodies have an interesting gourd/phallic shape, and were crafted of carved wood. The neck is incredibly comfortable, and easily fits into the hand, facilitating the sliding action used for playing the Sonica.

Creator Frank Eventoff's neighbor in Silverlake was a modelmaker and carved the bodies - they produced them in runs of 24 at a time.

Donna Summer bought one of the runs of 24 and created a Sonica Orchestra !!! They performed live in Hawaii, with all the musicians in her band equipped with Sonicas at some point in the show!

The body is made from finely hand carved mahogany.

The sound of the Sonica can best be described as somewhere between a sitar and violin. When run through a simple delay, an amazing array of soundscapes are derived. The front panel features a Key/Pitch Knob, and an On/Off Volume Knob. It also features three buttons. " Slider ", which is a tremolo type effect, " Tone ", which is actually a tonal boost, and " Half-Step ", which raises the note an octave. It features a built-in speaker, with an 1/8 inch output to connect to an amplifier or recording device. It runs on one 9-voly battery which is installed by accessing a plate on the backside of the device. This device includes the original carrying case, and original owners manual. The Key/Pitch Knob seems to adjust the key only intermittently. This may be solved by fine tuning the Key Knob, which is explained in detail in the owners manual. All other functions operate perfectly. This device is guaranteed to work upon arrival, but due to the vintage nature of this instrument, it must be sold as is. Winning bidder to submit payment via Paypal, Cashiers Check, or Money Order within 5 business days of auction end, to include $ 20 insured shipping within the continental U.S."
