Nick Klimenko - Synthesizer Museum Live (full album)

video upload by LFOstore

"LISTEN: https://cosmicleaf.gr/releases/1136/s...

Welcome to the 25th full-length album by Chronos. With this release, Nick Klimenko celebrates the opening of his personal synth museum!

In this unique space, you’ll find 190 hardware and 160 virtual instruments spanning the years 1978–2025. Chronos returns with a third live-played album, exploring the full depth of both analog and digital synthesizers. Everything was performed and recorded live in one take, inside the new museum space - https://nksynthmuseum.com/en/

Nick devoted countless hours practicing live playing, sequencing patterns and harmonies, and shaping rhythms and atmospheres for every single piece on this release.

When the time came, he simply hit the 'record' button — and played each track straight through.
This approach echoes the spirit of the 1970s, when Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream performed concerts entirely without computers or music software.

Musically, this album overflows with ambient and cosmic atmospheres, cinematic movements, and unique soundscapes

Tracklist:
001. Chronos - Soviet Analog Synthesizer Ambient
002. Chronos - Silentium Universi
003. Chronos - Inner Odyssey
004. Chronos - Summer Trio
005. Chronos - Alien Lights Above My Head
006. Chronos - Gamma Tauri
007. Chronos - Stellar Vector
008. Chronos - Interlude
009. Chronos - Velvet Trip

Mixed and mastered by Nick Klimenko

video upload by moogfoundation

via this Reverb listing

"A bold and powerful digital instrument, the Waldorf Q is a 16-voice (expandable to 32) analog modeling synthesizer that pairs expressive performance features with deep modulation capabilities. This is the iconic yellow version, famously distinctive in both sound and appearance, and a true statement piece in any synth setup.

This unit is in excellent condition, with bright, clean paint and fully functioning controls. Its high-resolution oscillators, multimode filters, and modulation matrix make it an incredibly capable and dynamic synth for studio or stage.

Key Features:

16-voice (expandable) virtual analog synthesis

3 oscillators per voice with FM, ring mod, and wavetable options

Dual multimode filters with various slope types

61-key keyboard with velocity and aftertouch

4 LFOs, modulation matrix, and onboard effects

Arpeggiator, step sequencer, and deep MIDI control

Bright yellow chassis, instantly recognizable

Condition Notes:

Excellent functional and cosmetic condition

Paint’s nature gives it a somewhat dusty texture (shown in closeups)

Knobs and buttons responsive and intact

Praised for its unique tone shaping and massive modulation options, the Q has been used by artists including Tangerine Dream, BT, and Depeche Mode. It's a modern classic that delivers digital precision with analog-style warmth, depth, and hands-on control.

30% of proceeds support the Bob Moog Foundation."

Barry Schrader “Ambient : Aether”

Acclaimed electronic composer Barry Schrader has a new release out titled “Ambient : Aether”.

You can find an interview I did with him in 2015 here. It includes many of the rare and unique instruments he has used over the years. You can find additional posts featuring Barry Schrader here.

Press release follows (note the accolades):

At 80, Barry Schrader — hailed by the Los Angeles Times as “a composer born to the electronic medium” — releases his first album of new music in over a decade. Ambient : Aether blends ambient textures, distortion, and noise with Schrader’s celebrated sound design, creating an immersive journey through Earth’s atmospheric layers into the unknown.

Composed in 2024–2025, the work experiments with stylistic features of ambient music and controlled distortion. While ambient elements have appeared in Schrader’s earlier works, this is the first album to intentionally embrace the style — yet it remains rooted in his techniques of musical development and timbral transformation. All sounds were created using computer and software; no acoustic sources were used.

Track List

1. Cloudrise (15:12) — Ever‑changing skies in sound.
2. Atmospheric Rivers (13:32) — Torrents of vapor dissolving into rivulets.
3. Supernal Ascent (15:50) — Layered voyage through: Troposphere [0:00], Stratosphere [2:52], Mesosphere [5:30], Thermosphere [8:30], Exosphere [12:26].
4. Aether (15:42) — At the edge of mystery.
5. Selected Review Quotes

ATMOSPHERE & IMAGERY

“Schrader feels vast, expansive, timeless.” — Perfect Circuit “Imbued with mystery… ageless appeal.” — AllMusic

TECHNICAL MASTERY

“A composer born to the electronic medium.” — Los Angeles Times “Uses timbre fully as a structural tool.” — Gramophone

EMOTIONAL IMPACT

“Conjures up a whirlwind of emotion from some primeval source.” — Bebe Barron. “…outsynthesized Tangerine Dream in its hypnotic electronic coloration.” — New York Times

Barry Schrader has been acclaimed by the Los Angeles Times as “a composer born to the electronic medium” and described by Gramophone as a creator of “approachable electronic music with a distinctive individual voice to reward the adventurous.” His works for electronics, dance, film, video, mixed media, live/electro‑acoustic music, and real‑time computer performance have been presented worldwide.

He is the founder and first president of SEAMUS (Society for Electro‑Acoustic Music in the United States) and recipient of the SEAMUS Lifetime Achievement Award. Schrader has authored Introduction to Electro‑Acoustic Music and contributed to The Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, Grolier’s Encyclopedia, and Contemporary Music Review. He taught composition at CalArts from 1971 until his retirement in 2016 as Professor Emeritus, and has also taught at UC Santa Barbara, California State University Los Angeles, and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. His music is released on Innova, SEAMUS, Laurel, Opus One, Centaur, Pure Destructive Records, and Ex Machina."

“Liar, Liar, 960 Denier!” 😅

video upload by John L Rice

"I’ve been getting a bit burnt out doing endless video editing lately so when my friend David (Kindred Lost) made a nice cover/demo of his Moog 960 style sequencer doing the bass sequence from Tangerine Dream’s 'Rubycon' and said 'nothing but the 960 can do this' so I fired up my trusty Moon 569 sequencer to see if I could do it too! 🤓 David’s demo sound much more 'Moogy' that mine and is closer to the original TD track, I mainly just wanted to see if I could recreate similar patterns. Check out David's video 👌😎: • Franke and Ruby [posted here]

I used the following modules:
Moon Modular: 569 sequencer
Oakley: Slim VCO B (as VC clock)
Marienberg: Envelope Generator A, VC Sine Phase Oscillator
Noise Engineering: Cursus Iteritas Magnus VCO
STG Soundlabs: Post-Lawsuit Lowpass Filter
Synthetic Sound Labs: Tube VCA, Quad LFO
Synthesizers.com: Q125 Signal Processor

Also:
Allen & Heath: MixWizard 20S
Lexicon: MX400
Strymon: BigSky, Timeline"

"I keep returning to the bass line off of Tangerine Dreams 'Rubycon' (1975).
This rendering is more of an exploration of variations of how to control that sequence on the synthesizers.com Q960, a clone of the Moog 960 Sequential Controller. Short but fun and always satisfying.
The oscillators used were the Q169 dual Oscillator, a Q206 and Q206A. The Q169 is in square wave and sync, the Q206 is doubling in a sawtooth wave. The Q206A is a triangle wave directly to the mix in a lower octave.
The filter was the Grove Audio G294A Tribute Series Moog transistor ladder low pass.
I also used a tube drive from the Synthetic Sound Labs/CGS 1530 Tube VCA/Timbral Gate module after the output of the filter.
The envelope generators included a Q109 for the final VCA shape, another Q109 as the filter shape, an STG EG for the tube drive gate shape and another STG EG for the lower bass vco.
The signal was split and sent to the Yusynth panning mixer from Lower West Side Studios and to an Echo Fix tape echo/reverb device. The tape echo was panned using the second row of the Q960 sequencer. That row was also sending a filter modulation voltage. The final output of the mix was sent through an Empress Reverb pedal in red reverb+delay setting.
The final third row of the Q960 sequencer was used in 'Third Row Control Of Timing' mode for the fast burst motion as in the original bass line performance by Tangerine Dream."

Korg/Univox Poly Ensemble S PE2000/K5 Polyphonic String Synthesizer

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"Fully polyphonic 48 key analog string synth. Classic 70's string/ensemble synth sounds. Amazingly thick, and warm sounding- sounds huge and dreamy. Used by Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Hawkwind.

Works great. Voice selection buttons/switch contacts recently cleaned, and working well. Built in case has new latches installed.

Treble eq control is very scratchy, but works once set. Some of the other pots may be slightly scratchy, but all work. Light on power button does not light up- power switch is functional- unit powers on/off, but light doesn't work. Scratches/nicks on top (top is great for stacking other gear on).

I've had the pleasure of owning this beast for 20 years- it's gotten a good amount of use, but has been well taken care of, and rarely taken out of the house.

Stacks 3 oscillators per key/voice in octaves- you can also turn two of the oscillators on or off to use two or one oscillator per key/voice. Can also detune two of the oscillators separately to create a thicker, layered sound. Buttons/switches for selecting sounds can be simultaneously pressed to stack sounds. Built in phazer sounds excellent."
