flight of harmony mid-month newsletter October 2008

"There’s been so much going on that a mid-month letter sounded good:

We now have a forum! Graciously supplied by His Wiggliness, Muff Wiggler, scroll down to “Hosted Forums”. There are several discussions regarding the Plague Bearer, with users’ pictures and samples (much better than mine). You have to be registered to hear the samples, but it is worth it. There are also threads for suggestions of new modules and Barebones Packs, format discussions, and announcements of upcoming stuff.

The discounted first run of the PB-1E & PB-2E are almost gone, only a couple of each left.

There are a few hand-made Frac format PB modules left – single- and double-width. Make sure you check out the thread about them in the forum.

The Imp Eurorack module nears completion, comments are greatly appreciated (forum again).

A limited run of the Infernal Noise Machine is now for sale. Five units are available at $666.00 each. http://www.flightofharmony.com/INM.html and in the forum.

* do it together, the culture of collaborative art-making

Exhibition, concerts, talks, workshops and a juried prize: the festival of Making Art is being held for the 4th time and is once again conceived as a transdisciplinary platform for those who aren’t satisfied with commercial products and artwork, as well as people who prefer to tailor their tools by themselves to fit their own wishes.

The venue is Dynamo and its open workshops in the center of the city of Zurich. The festival is being organized by the Swiss Mechatronic Art Society, SGMK, in partnership with the Cycle Opérant art collective."

Guild Timbre Generator prototype #5 of 6 1972 Mutron

images via this auction
"This is a very rare prototype for a synthesizer system made for Guild by Mike Beigel and Izzy Strauss. Mike later went on to start Mutron and incorporated some of the circuitry in this unit into the Mutron III. This is #5 of 6 protypes made for Guild back in 1972. After Guild president Al Dronge was killed in a plane crash the company decided to drop the project. Mike still owns the other 5 units so this is the only one in the wild. This unit was actually thrown out at Guild a few years back after they were purchased by Fender." via Russ
