⚡NEW LIMITED EDITION BOWIE STYLOPHONE
BOWIE STYLOPHONE - Limited Edition video upload by Stylophone
"⚡NEW LIMITED EDITION BOWIE STYLOPHONE - OUT NOW ⚡
We are very proud to announce this unique collaboration with @davidbowie celebrating a career long association between the legendary musician and Stylophone.
The Bowie Limited Edition White Stylophone with analog sound comes with a booklet celebrating David Bowie's career and featuring exclusive photos."
Update: the press release:
David Bowie celebrated with limited-edition Bowie Stylophone
David Bowie’s career-long association with the world’s first ‘pocket synthesizer’ is being celebrated with the launch of a Bowie Stylophone.
The limited-edition Stylophone commemorates Bowie’s longstanding association with the iconic instrument, which famously featured on his breakthrough 1969 single “Space Oddity” which was composed around the Stylophone’s unique sound.
The launch is the result of a collaboration between The David Bowie Archive and Dubreq, the British company that makes the instrument. Together they have released a selection of pictures of the music legend using the Stylophone. Whilst legendary American record producer Tony Visconti, who worked closely with Bowie over many years, has gifted the team a Bowie photo from his private
collection. (Pictures available here)
“Space Oddity” appeared on Bowie’s second album which was produced by Tony Visconti – who
recalls how the young Bowie was ecstatic to be chosen by the makers of the Stylophone to receive a
complimentary unit.
Mr Visconti said: “He was one of the first to own one and to discover this new, quite radical way of
making music. He immediately put it to work and wrote a song around the unique sound of the
instrument, which was of course, Space Oddity.
“For many years to come Bowie and Stylophone were names that were matched in the same breath.
He would be very proud of this new incarnation named after him.”
Regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, Bowie continued to use the
instrument throughout his career. As late in his career as 2002 he recorded with the Stylophone for the song “Slip Away” on his Heathen album.
The limited-edition Stylophone goes on sale from www.dubreq.com on 17th September for £29.95/ €34.95/$39.95 and is accompanied by a commemorative booklet that explores Bowie’s music.
John Simpson, managing director of Dubreq, the British company that makes Stylophone said: “There’s a big resurgence in interest in the mini synthesizer from young musicians. This limited edition Stylophone is a great way to commemorate David’s affection for the instrument and to inspire the next generation of musicians to create even more great music with the Stylophone.”

_____________________
"What is a Stylophone?” you ask. The original Stylophone pocket synthesizer was invented in 1967 by Brian Jarvis and manufactured by Dubreq from 1968 to 1975 as Stylophone, the original pocket electronic organ. Over three million original Stylophone synthesizers were produced and sold before the company ceased production. Today’s Stylophone reissue was introduced by the inventor’s son, Ben Jarvis and is manufactured by Dubreq, Ltd. The reissue retains all of the original features but with up-to-date technology. The current Stylophone retro pocket synth is a modern, portable synthesizer with a hit-filled past and present.

Styloscape - Hauntology on Stylophone Gen X-1 - #StylophoneGenR8Comp
Published on Feb 23, 2020 ChrisLody
"I thought I'd have a cheeky second go at the StylophoneGenR8Comp that dubreq set up
So this is made entirely with the Gen X-1 with the exception of the radio plugged into it to make the noisy bass sound.
Animation by my Esme On Plum Island so I went for a vaguely Hauntology vibe this time"

Stylophunk - Stylophone Gen X-1 Funk w. AX5G K350 #StylophoneGenR8Comp
Published on Feb 15, 2020 ChrisLody
"Double whammy of Song-a-day Feb 15 and my entry to the Stylophone Gen R8 competition.
So this video features several takes of the Stlophone Gen X-1 playing bass, a lead sound, a guitar like solo through a Korg AX5G guitar pedal, some sci-fi 'wobbles' near the end and it also filters and adds delay to the OG Stylophone (well the modern copy of one) as well as the drums from the Technics K350 keyboard. Had a total blast making this to be honest :D"

The Novation Peak is used to create the live chords/drone (triggered by an Arturia Keystep). The Elektron Digitone is sequencing the pinging lead sound which is run through the Red Panda Particle v2 and then into the Boss RV-500.
Audio recorded from an old Mackie ProFX12 mixer onto a Zoom H4N. Video recorded on an iPhone 11 Pro."
