Eurythmics Goes Old School

Via Music Thing.



From Arjan Writes music blog:
"The video for the new single has been shot by photographer Matthew Rolston. His visual concept was to create a homage to the early Eurythmics days with both Lennox and Steward in suit around vintage synthesizers (just like in "Sweet Dream"). Click here for an exclusive photo from the video shoot. Listen to a 10 second snippet of the song just to get a feel for it."

The Novachord Restoration Project

Via MC of AH. CMS is restoring a Hammond Novachord. Title link takes you to a page on the restoration project. There are also some examples of what the Novachord sounded like. The Novachord was Hammond's first electronic instrument released in 1939. It was a polyphonic electronic organ that predated the Hammond Solovox. For more info on the history of the Hammond Novacord, see 120 Years.

Switched On Bach - New Flickr Shots

Wendy Carlos' Switched on Bach. The album that started it all. Title link takes you to two Flickr shots, one of the back and one of the front. The interesting note is that the album int the shots is "factory sealed." Pretty cool, but I remember that old plastic album covering sometimes had a tendancy to shrink and warp the sleeve. This one looks good though. Anywho, enough with the jibba jabba...

Guitar Synth

Luca Capozzi sent this awesome site to me. I thought it wasn't on topic enough to post until I got to the lessons section. Then I realized, hey, it's sample playback using my computer keyboard to play. Good enough of an excuse for me to post this. Title link takes you there. Enjoy. : )

Pacman

Fun little tune posted here.

Akai AX60 Acid

In via Vintage Synth Explorer. Title link takes you to the location of a track title "Whitney on Acid." The synths are all AX60 overdubbed via 4 track. If you ever wanted to hear the raw, distinct distortion of an AX60, listen to this track. People often compare the Juno 106 to the Akai AX60. There is nothing remeniscent of a Juno in this track. The Juno 106 sounds glossy and refined while the AX60 sounds much more untamed and raw. It really comes out towards the end of the track.
