"Another collaboration with Pete Fowler - two pyramid-shaped analogue synthesisers with hand painted casings. They began as part of an animated music video that Pete made for The Horrors, and then afterwards Richard Russell (XL Recordings) decided to commission a real life version. It was decided to make two synths in the end, one for Richard and one for The Horrors to use. They each have a catalog number, "XLRD001 001" and "XLRD001 002".
The whole project was massive fun from beginning to end - everyone involved was really nice, complete artistic freedom was given, lots of enthusiasm and encouragement from every direction! Once they were finished, Nathan Pask took these great photos
Each synth contains a Sound Lab mark II, built from a circuit board sold by Music From Outer Space."
