Oh man! That looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeletelooks like fun if you're into flashing lights...it would be a lot more fun if he had some audio leads
ReplyDeleteThis is a "sublime" machine of sounds.
ReplyDeletewell, I had just rearranged everything and hadn't run leads yet.
ReplyDeleteOr I could just say I compose by osmosis ;)
Wow, a S-1000 owner!
ReplyDeletesorry Mike,a stupid jibe (about the audio leads)... a very cool set-up. Osmosis, I've never heard of that synth :o)
ReplyDeleteOsmosis was the primary synthesis method used by the Osmositron - similar to the Optigan and Mellotron, but instead of tape banks it used metallic conductors which channel EVP signals (Electronic Voice Phenomenom) through the signal path.
ReplyDeleteIt was produced in the early 70's, but due to "bad juju" the factory was shut down and all models were destroyed. There are some in existance, but most owners have refused to be identified and there are scarce studio recordings to identify an ownership path.
Rumour has it it was used in the recording of the theme song to "The Love Boat" but there are no accounts to certify this claim.
Next week, we look into the much lauded but seldom implemented work of Marcus Aruda, inventor of the Pismotar - a pre-midi and CV guitar synthesizer developed in the 1930's which used chrystalline sand and phonograph needles to create shimmering walls of "Pism's" from reverberations of strings.
Thanks for the clarification Mike. I wonder if some of that bad "ju ju" in the guise of the Love Boat theme could have had a hand in Julie McCoy's fall from grace ?
ReplyDeleteChrystalline sand...hmmm, maybe there's a connection... the plot thickens
