Those of you that follow MATRIXSYNTH on a regular basis should be more than familiar with Astonauta Pinguim, most notably for his interviews with the pioneers of electronic music. He just had an article published on the influence of Bob Moog on Brazil's Radio Putzgrila. The article is in Portuguese, however you can find a Googlish version here.
Pictured below: Fabricio Carvalho aka Astronauta Pinguim with Moog tattoo and MATRIXSYNTH T-Shirt from the article on Radio Putzgrila. He has great taste. :)
"just got my wendy carlos switched on bach 2 tattoo, i gave the artist a picture of my portable 22 to draw the modular out, obviously its quite hard to get that much detail in a smaller sized tat, but you can see a slight resemblance of the q106 in the top left!.."
"I really wanted a music related tattoo, but I was not happy with getting an instrument or a band, and then I thought the signal flow of my favorite synth would have to be my next tattoo, my band (vircon) owns a total of three evolvers and I simply cannot write music without my evolver. Prior to getting the keyboard I always had a bit of trouble understanding the signal flow on the desktop version, so this was a constant reference image I used when programming patches. The evolver is more a part of me than any other material possession I own, it just made sense. I got it done at Royalty Tattoo in Northport by Amalia, she was maniacal with the placement, the technique and her ability to do these lines straight and parallel. There is absolutely nothing better then working with a perfectionist when getting something that lasts a lifetime.
YouTube Streamed live on Nov 21, 2011 by showlivre
Show starts at 6:30. I believe this is the second time MATRIXSYNTH was featured on a TV broadcast. There was one on French TV posted here. I keep hoping to find a MATRIXSYNTH card somewhere on the IT Crowd.
Googlish (Original description further below):
"Is the highlight Lirinha Studio Showivre (www.showivre.com) broadcast live on November 21, 2011.
Singer-songwriter presents Lirinha your disk, Lira, work that marked a new phase which now follows the artist in solo work, after more than 10 year career with Cordel do Fogo Encantado.
In Lira, the musician reinvents itself with a sound that goes through the use of guitars, keyboards, synthesizers, percussion and drums, resulting in a surprising and innovative foray into territory that is familiar: the fine line between music and poetry. Lirinha shows his maturity as an artist and songwriter, evolves into a cohesive work, with strong influence of the references that populate his songs."
Original description:
"Lirinha é o destaque do Estudio Showivre (www.showivre.com) transmitido ao vivo no dia 21 de novembro de 2011.
Cantor e compositor Lirinha apresenta seu disco, Lira, trabalho que marca nova fase do artista que agora segue em trabalho solo, depois de mais de 10 anos de carreira com o Cordel do Fogo Encantado.
Em Lira, o músico se reinventa com uma sonoridade que passa pela utilização de guitarras, teclados, sintetizadores, percussão e bateria, resultando em uma surpreendente e inovadora incursão em território que lhe é familiar: a tênue fronteira entre a música e a poesia. Lirinha mostra seu amadurecimento como artista e letrista, evolui em um trabalho coeso, com forte influência das referências que povoam as suas canções."

"I wanted to share with you a nice drawing on my cast, last year when I broke my wrist. The drawing was madeby my dear friend Matias Greco [matiasgreco at hotmail.com], who also did a Mini Vince Clarke doll. [you can see it in the background]"
"My wife Anna recently got the Moog tattoo she always wanted! I got the Moog logo 7 years ago [bottom shot] and she has wanted the O ever since! Synth babe of the year? I think so ;)"
