Nord Piano Library: Introducing the Stockholm EP!

video upload by nordkeyboards

"We are proud to release the Stockholm EP - a vintage electric piano with exceptional sound and detail! The Stockholm EP is a classic 1976 Mark I Stage EP, delivering both a fat, round bottom with well balanced bells, as well as a more barky and shallow sound when hit hard. With its exceptional dynamic range and very versatile voicing the Stockholm EP is our most detailed electric piano yet, being equally at home in soft and singing ballads or in harder, funkier styles. Download for free at nordkeyboards.com!

The Stockholm EP requires the latest OS Updates and is compatible with Nord Stage 4/3/2 EX/2, Nord Piano 5/4/3, Nord Electro 6/5 and Nord Grand.

00:00 Stockholm EP Intro (A-Pan Variation + EQ + Compressor + Delay + Reverb)

US Highway 395: Owens Valley (Independence to Bishop)

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We ride north on US 395 as it traverses the arid Owens Valley on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada; we start in the town of Independence and end in Bishop. In the community of Big Pine, the Californa Highway 168 joins with US 395 en route to Bishop.

The Owens Valley is among the deepest valleys, wedged between the highest peaks of the Sierra Nevada and the Inyo and White Mountains to the east. The rain shadow leaves most of the valley a dry, desert environment. The Owens River, an which runs through the valley, has been heavily tapped as a main water supply for Los Angeles, which makes the valley even drier. Nonetheless, it is quite beautiful, as is US 395.

Original music by Amanda Chaudhary (an updated version of the music from 'Highway 58: Part 3').

Amanda Solo Performance at Center for New Music (Compton's Cafeteria Series)

Published on Sep 4, 2019 CatSynth TV

"Amanda Chaudhary's full solo performance from the Compton's Cafeteria Series show at the Center for New Music in San Francisco.

For more new and adventurous electronic music, please subscribe to this channel and visit www.catsynth.com.

_________
Amanda Chaudhary’s live performances bring theatricality and flare to the sometimes staid world of experimental electronics. She combines sophisticated modular synthesizers and software, with conventional instruments and even toys and DIY electronics for a unique experience that moves effortlessly between experimental noise, jazz and funk, ambient abstract landscapes, and more. She has been performing solo and with various groups in the Bay Area, New York, and beyond for many years and is deliberately difficult to pin down to a particular style or practice, except to say that her work is always fun to experience. Amanda is also the founder of CatSynth.com and CatSynth TV, which covers music, synthesizers, art, and culture through the prism of a love for cats. The feline sometimes works its way back into her music."

Happy Easter with my Synths!

Published on Mar 30, 2018 heckenschreck

"Jamming with some of my favourite Synths. Memorymoog plays a Sequence synced 24ppqn, Linndrum synced 48ppqn, Quadra modified for Trigger Sync and CS-30 driven by Midi-synced Tenori-On. Imperfect solos are not really intended but unavoidable... and the ending should have been an end, not a sheer stop...
Anyway, thanks for watching - and - happy easter!"

Custom Black Nord Stage EX 2 88 Used On Last Two Madonna Tours

via this auction

"This keyboard has toured the world twice with me. It is still in great condition as it was very well taken care of by my keyboard tech. It was featured on MDNA Tour in an upright piano shell during the acoustic performance of Like A Virgin/Love Spent. Then in 2015, it was painted black sparkle for the Rebel Heart Tour and lived on my keyboard rig where I played songs like La Isla Bonita, Heartbreak City, Music (Boogie Woogie/Dance rendition), and many more. All my tour Nord Stage programmed sounds, triple-pedal, and power cable will be sent to the buyer of this beautiful keyboard. It pains me to have to sell this beautiful memorabilia. Great for any die-hard fans of the Queen of Pop."
