I haven't posted on Ichabod in a while.
For those not familiar with this massive modular system, it was commissioned by Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins from George Mattson of Mattson Mini Modular. It's a one of a kind system. You can find the full gallery on Facebook here. Be sure to check out the Ichabod label here on MATRIXSYNTH for more posts including video and audio. I never get enough of that Devils Tower pic. Devils Tower of course was made famous in the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind which featured Philip Dodds & and an ARP 2500. And of course I do like George's T-Shirt in the second to last pic below on the delivery of Ichabod. The bottom shot is the classic Ichabod Halloween pic (click through for a super size wallpaper shot).An interesting side note I believe is that the upcoming Mattson SQ816 Sequencer will be the final module to complete the system. Click here and scroll for some demos and pics of the SQ816 including the Division 6 eurorack format.
Update via George Mattson: "That is correct. Billy ordered two sequencers. Billy actually started this and said he wanted a sequencer. I prototyped a simple, single-line 8-channel sequencer on a breadboard over a weekend to show him that I can indeed make one.
Stephen used it in one of his video’s [posted here]
I didn’t want to just make a run-of-the-mill step sequencer and wanted to design and build one that I wanted to have fun with. Hopefully, other people will too. Thus, the SQ816 has been three years in development."
