Title link takes you to the listing on Novamusik. So far I haven't found a picture of the unit. It's supposed to be ultra portable. If you know of one, please comment and I'll update the post.

"A meeting between musicians, intruments and sound lovers ! The goal is to "promote" electronic instruments and discover them the best way : by playing them !

We also want to mix people from different horizons, active or not in the belgian electronic music scene.

Everyone coming to the BEIF is invited to bring their electronic instruments. You will be able to show (off) your own abilities and test other people's instruments. And this time it won't be like the music store : nobody is going to ask you "May I help you ?"

As it is our first edition, we don't know yet how things are going to turn out. But after the speaking-testing-playing-drinking time of the afternoon, it's up to us to turn the whole thing into a delightful jam session of experimental noises."

"I organise the Belgian Electronic Instruments festival this weekend. I thought you might be interested for a post. It's basicaly a vintage/new synth meeting in the center of Brussels, with jam sessions and concert during the evening."

Thanks Thomas! Title link takes you to more info.

Click here for a post on the APC by Wild Zebra on electro-music.com. There is a larger shot there and a link to a sample of the box (mirrored here).

"Firstly it starts out with 3 simple Soundlab tracks: Long ramp LFO, Filter A/R noise and S&H using manual trigger. Then we go into some CrackleBox with an over dub of Atari Punk Console, and on to some Theremin (boards that v-un-v had available) with alittle Weird sound generator to finish it off. No effects."

Funny, the intro reminded me of the intro to this.

Title link takes you to the products page for Native Instruments. There are a few new synths including MASSIVE, FM8, Absynth4, and Battery3. Note the new UI for FM8; gone is the tribute to the classic Yamaha DX7.

Title link takes you to a post on VSE (while it's up) with more shots put up by Carbon111. I saved the shots here for when the post dissapears. Hopefully Carbon111 will put up a page on the Pro 8, but we are still waiting for this one. Come on Tom Waits! Get a move on it! Maybe after the bath? ; )

Trip. Note this is different than the Modular LED Voltage Monitor. This actually acts as a sensor similar in concept to a theremin, but using light. Title link takes you to the post by UNIT-SOUND on Synthwire. There is a link to more shots in his flickr set.

Ok, I really need to watch these videos in entirety before putting them up; sometimes you actually get to see these here before me folks. What can I say, I put you all before me. : ) So... I had this video up on this post. I finally got around to watching the whole thing, and whoah, there is a Hartmann Neuron in it and it's actually a pretty good demo of it. Amazing. Enjoy.

Via ross healy. You might recognize the system from this post.

Title link takes you to the post on GetLoFi. BTW, looks like GetLoFi has had a major site redesign. Check it out. I must say it looks mighty nice.

Remember Different Skies 2006? Looks like daily shots are going up. Title link takes you there. Make sure to check back for more shots. I didn't realize the new Korg Kaoss Pad was out. Update: Turns out it's actually set to be released in November.

As always, click the image for a bigger shot.

"It is Tim Blake in concert in Orsay (near Paris) 4th november 1978 with Jean-Philippe Rykiel (who is sadly blind but marvelous on a minimoog)."

More on Tim Blake on his official website. I couldn't find an official website for Jean-Philippe Rykiel, so if you know of one please comment. Here is what Google has for him.

Update via frederic:
"Here is a short biography of Jean-Philippe Rykiel"

Update via Mikael in the comments:
"Synth/gear spotting: Minimoog x2, Korg Polyphonic ensemble PE-2000 x2 (listen to the wonderful sounding strings on Blake's New Jerusalem, that's the PE-2000), Roland system 100 (incl main-unit 101, expander unit 102 as well as the 104 sequencer), Yamaha CP-30 electronic piano and Oberheim mini-sequencer.

During the subsequent 1979 tour Blake was using a Moog modular system 55 (replacing the system 100) and a Yamaha CS-80 alongside the Minimoog, the two Synthi-A's and PE-2000."
