Episode four of the second series of the TV program from Benge, made at his Memetune Electronic Music Studio

The series explores his passion for vintage synthesiser instruments and studio gear and how he uses it on his productions and collaborations

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

It is divided into the following sections:

LITTLE BLACK BOXES - A look at some classic rack mount synths of the 80s and 90s

SWITCHED ON - This second series looks at a type of synthesis based around the ideas of Cybernetics, which Benge calls CYBERSYNTHESIS

SYNTHESISER CLUB - A short musical demonstration of a synthesiser classic or three

COMMERCIAL BREAK - Some shameless Memetune shilling

PATCHING TODAY - A deep-dive into vintage modular systems and how to set up a patch on them, starting from scratch

VIDEO LAB - A look at old video equipment and how to create experimental visuals

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

In THIS episode:

LITTLE BLACK BOXES - The Casio VZ10M Phase Distortion synth from 1988

SWITCHED ON CYBERSYNTHS - Euclidean Rhythms. We get the abacus out and do some maths in this episode, trying to work out Euclid’s infamous algorithm

SYNTHESISER CLUB - Today, its Club Yamaha!

COMMERCIAL BREAK - Benge’s latest album The View from Vega, released on the DiN label; FORMS SERIES albums on Bandcamp; Polyrythmic Electronica vinyl from the Systems of Objects label; Memetune merchandise - T-Shirts, Tote Bags and Badges

PATCHING TODAY - on the Paia 4700, made in Oklahoma City in 1974. Is this the WORST modular system ever made? Maybe, maybe not!

VIDEO LAB - In this episode - a look at vintage video cameras, and why the Three Tube system rules
