Flower Electronics Little Boy Blue Deluxe

via this auction Close-up of the control sheet below. "The Flower Electronics Little Boy Blue Deluxe is a boutique synthesizer made by musician/sound artist Jessica Rylan. It was made in a limited edition, I purchased mine in 2006, and is no longer available from the manufacturer (i.e. pretty rare/collectable). Details are archived here - http://flowerelectronics.com/Deluxe.html Features: 2 voltage controlled oscillators, manual and voltage control of oscillator wave shapes, 1/4" input with variable gain, envelope follower with optional inverter, 2 channel mixer, intermodulating output stage, stylish oiled fir case LBB Deluxe runs on 2 9v batteries (supplied). Current drain is low, typically offering 50+ hours of battery life. The circuitry is hand-built with premium parts, using discrete transistors, no chips. Instruments are supplied with a set of banana cables for patching. Input and output are via standard 1/4" connectors. Output is a hot line level, for extra buzz. I have used this extensively for shows and recordings with the bands The Failed NASA Experiment, Black Stepdad, Lustfaust, Yajé, Evils, Fredrick Stanley Star and The (plexus) Collective. What that means is that whilst it has been well used it is really, really, really well built and has never failed. It is still in full working order and sounds as wicked as the day it was first bought. It has suffered a few scuffs and dents along the way and I have documented these in the pictures above to the best of my ability and these haven't affected the functionality at all. There are some sound samples on this page - http://flowerelectronics.com/Standard.html Here are some various videos to give you an idea of seeing it in action with other equipment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fET6naTUrfc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42SpcCP8a5w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC0Gz4PYndU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJz1KMg8BDc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfakMBKEag8 So it's a noisy little bugger ideally suited for power electronics, ambient noise and experiment scunge etc. It's great for effecting vocals/guitars/keys/etc or as a standalone sound/chaos generator. This (long and heavy going) VHS improv I did for Bang the Bore utilises the LBB Deluxe quite extensively - http://vimeo.com/21620771" [embed below]

and its asymmetrical response. The filter in JH is designed specifically for feedback patches. Let's
see--driven, second-order, non-linear system? Sounds like chaos!' AND IT IS!!"

"'Weird dancing in all-night computer-banking lobbies. Unauthorized pyrotechnic displays. Land-art, earth-works as bizarre alien artifacts strewn in State Parks. Burglarize houses but instead of stealing, leave Poetic-Terrorist objects. Kidnap someone & make them happy. Pick someone at random & convince them they're the heir to an enormous, useless & amazing fortune - say 5000 square miles of Antarctica, or an aging circus elephant, or an orphanage in Bombay, or a collection of alchemical manuscripts. Later they will come to realize that for a few moments they believed in something extraordinary, & will perhaps be driven as a result to seek out some more intense mode of existence.'
