video upload by 4ms Company

"Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith found her voice when a neighbor lent her a Buchla 100 synthesizer in 2011. Buchla, and other vintage rare synthesizers became the heart of a body of work that includes Euclid, Ears (named one of the best albums of 2016 by Pitchfork, NPR Music, and Resident Advisor), The Kid, The Mosaic of Transformation, Let's Turn It Into Sound, and last year's Gush and Thoughts on the Future as well as her upcoming album RUIN: It’s Not Just Music - which comes out Oct 2nd.

She's made records with synth pioneer Suzanne Ciani (Sunergy), composer Emile Mosseri (I Could Be Your Dog / I Could Be Your Moon), and Hot Chip's Joe Goddard (Neptunes). She's remixed Max Richter, Perfume Genius, Danny Elfman, and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, been remixed by Four Tet, and scored the film Omni Loop, starring Mary-Louise Parker and Ayo Edebiri.

This year she launched her own label, Someone Special, and its first release is her new album, Ruin: It's Not Just Music, out Oct 2nd - which is a Drum and Bass inspired album.

In this episode we get deeper with Kaitlyn's background, philosophy, and creative process."

Roma Modulare 2026 | Viktoria Presents the Adam Synths Modular System

video upload by Malvinus

"At Roma Modulare 2026, I sat down with Viktoria to talk about the Adam Synths modular system, and the standout feature that sets it apart: a visual aid for memorizing your patches.

Viktoria walks us through how the system works and why patch memory — normally the hardest thing to hold onto in modular — becomes so much easier here.

No demo, just a conversation with someone who knows the system inside out — sometimes that's the best way to understand an instrument.

One To Watch: Leona Jacewska - EBM, Italo & Retro-Futurism (Electronic Beats TV)

video upload by Telekom Electronic Beats TV

"For this Electronic Beats One To Watch episode, we meet Berlin-based Polish artist Leona Jacewska and step inside her world of electronic music.
Formerly known as Charlie, Jacewska has developed a distinctive sound shaped by EBM, synthwave and early ’80s Italo, combining driving rhythms and retro-futuristic synth textures with her own vocals. With a background in classical piano, years spent DJing and a deep involvement in the electronic music scenes of Kraków and Berlin, her approach brings together different sides of electronic music culture.
In this video, Leona takes us through her creative process, how she approaches writing and performing electronic music, the interaction between different pieces of hardware, and why working outside the computer continues to play such an important role in her creative process.

Click CC for subtitles.

"The story behind Adamsynths and the creation of the Warthog — the world’s first modular synthesizer with Total Recall.

This video tells the story of Adamsynths from the early beginnings to the creation of a truly unique instrument. Growing up in an environment where music and electronics were part of everyday life naturally led to building a modular analog synthesizer. But the goal was more than just creating an instrument — it was about redefining what a modular system can do.

This conversation features:
Ádám Miski – founder of Adamsynths and designer of the Warthog
Tibor Domokos – keyboardist and composer of the band Operentzia

In this video, you will discover:
the origins of Adamsynths
the story of the first prototypes
how the idea of Total Recall was born
and the multi-year development process behind the Warthog

The Adamsynths Warthog is the world’s first and only modular analog synthesizer capable of storing the entire patch — including knob positions, switch states, and cable connections.

Soundtoys SIGNALS: Don Slepian

video upload by soundtoys

"We recently welcomed Don Slepian to Soundtoys HQ for an intimate performance and conversation as part of our Signals series.

Slepian has been exploring the possibilities of electronic music since long before most of its current vocabulary existed. An American composer, performer, and sound designer, his early work at Bell Labs placed him at the intersection of music and emerging digital technology. In the decades since, he has developed a singular approach to live electronic performance, combining improvisation, real-time synthesis, custom instruments, and immersive sound.

Watching that work unfold in our space was something special. Don is not simply a pioneer of electronic music, but an artist who has remained relentlessly curious about what electronic instruments can do—and, more importantly, what they can express.

Signals is an ongoing performance series at Soundtoys HQ in Burlington, Vermont, dedicated to artists working at the edges of music, improvisation, sound, and technology. Each performance is followed by a conversation and audience Q&A, creating a rare opportunity to hear not only the work, but the ideas and processes behind it.

It was an honor to have Don join us. Follow Don’s work through his website (https://donslepian.com), Bandcamp (https://donslepiannumero.bandcamp.com..., and Instagram ( / don_slepian."

Frap Tools Magnolia: From Eurorack to a Polyphonic Analog Synth

video upload by Music Journey with Paul

"At Superbooth 2026 I talked with Gattobus, who was involved in the development of Magnolia, about the idea behind this unusual instrument and what makes it different from a traditional analog polysynth.

Magnolia combines elements of classic analog synthesizers with ideas coming from the modular and West Coast synthesis worlds - including complex oscillators, wavefolding and through-zero FM.

We also talk about its fully analog VCOs, discrete circuits designed by Frap Tools, polyphonic aftertouch keyboard, its distinctly Italian design and why, despite its experimental architecture, Gattobus considers it an extremely playable and musical instrument."

Silicon Machine | Daniel Miller & Alexander Hacke in conversation | FFOSSO

video upload by FFOSSO

"We sat down with Daniel Miller and Alexander Hacke to talk about the sounds, machines, and ideas behind Silicon Machine, a new FFOSSO instrument sampled directly from Daniel's own collection of original synths and drum machines.

Daniel traces the lineage back to the earliest days of Mute Records: the Korg 700S that powered "Warm Leatherette" and 'T.V.O.D.,' the rented Space Echo, the four-track sessions where everything was played by hand because there was no other way to do it. Gear that wasn't prestigious, wasn't expensive, and wasn't supposed to sound like much, and did anyway.

Alexander curated the collection, with patches designed and programmed by both Alexander and Daniel for FFOSSO. As curator, Alexander brings his own perspective: a musician whose practice spans decades of Einstürzende Neubauten's industrial explorations, finding music in unconventional sources and understanding intuitively what happens when machines are pushed somewhere they weren't designed to go.

Together they talk about limitation as a creative force, the character that comes from imperfection, and why the rough edges of early DIY electronics can still feel more alive than many things made today. Silicon Machine is the result: cold basslines, broken rhythmic pulses, stark analog textures — raw, mechanical, and quietly menacing.

Bob Moog 2003 NAMM Interview – Hosted by Frank Serafine

video upload by moogfoundation

matrix note: note what Bob Moog says after 5:18. Many of you might know that Herb Deutsch suggested the keyboard as the main interface for the Moog synthesizer, while Morton Subotnic had an influence on Don Buchla in the development of the synthesizer as a repacement for working with tape for new sound creation and manipulation. Don Buchla did not want to limit the interface to a 12 note keyboard. Buchla has become synonymous with atonal music, and not viewing the purpose of a synthesizer as an instrument meant to synthesize known instruments, but rather as a sonic easel, hence the Buchla Music Easel. Moog in general is credited with the direction of keyboard based synthesis. It's fascinating hearing Bob Moog essentially say otherwise. This interview is from 2003, before internet discussions between East and West coast synthesis took off.

Video description:

"Please donate to the Bob Moog Foundation to help make presentations like this possible: https://bit.ly/ContributeBMF

We are excited to share this never-before-seen 2003 interview with Bob Moog! Here, Bob shares his original inspirations and insightful speculation on the future of electronic music. He also gives a brief demonstration of the then-newly released Minimoog Voyager.

The interview was hosted by Frank Serafine (April 6th, 1953 – September 12th, 2018), a lauded American motion picture sound designer, sound editor, and composer.

Many thanks to Harold LaRue of haroldlaruemastering.com for editing the audio for us. He did a masterful job of editing out so much background noise from NAMM including vacuuming, someone playing a keyboard in the background, and so much more.

We lost Bob Moog on August 21st, 2005, and are proud to commemorate him and his legacy today on the 20th anniversary of the Bob Moog Foundation.
