Buchla and other Samples on Buzzclick Music

Peter Grenader of Buzzclick music posted a link on AH to some of his music including an all Buchla piece titled Eclipse. Each of his pieces has a great story behind them. Download a track, put it on and read. Not a bad way to spend some of that leisure time during the holidays...



BTW, make sure to track back to http://www.buzzclick-music.com/ for the rest of his site.

Click the News link or the Cynthia Logo for what may be one of
the very first magazine interviews with Devo ~ever~ way back in the
summer of 1978.

Other features in this issue include interviews with Don Preston, and Cameron Jones of Synclavier.

Also read more on Guitar Synthesis, Electronic Music Notation,
Laser Sculptures, and a review of some newfangled polyphonic keyboard
called The Sequential Circuits Prophet! Wow!


Hoppy New Year to Every Bunny!"

Oh, I have a Bunny for you: Sparkle.

SCI Programmer

Moogulator has a post up on the SCI Programmer pictured below. Apparently you can use it to store "patches" on a modular which I guess would mean storing control voltages as you tweak? Interesting. Title link takes you to his post which includes a shot where you can see it hooked up to a modular. If anyone has more info on this piece, feel free to share. BTW, makes sure to check out Moogulator's SCI page for even more oddities from SCI. And as usual, track back to the root of his site for more synth goodness. His site is really coming along in a big, big way.

More on CDM. Just don't sit on a magnet...



It's made of magnetic tape. Almost titled this, "Phish gets a synth... dress."

Robert Moog Remembered in 2005's Unforgettable

Robert Moog, rightfully, made the list on Newsweek's Unforgettable in 2005.

"Robert Moog, 71
His synthesizer brought music into the electronic age—or vice versa."

MC mentioned this on AH.

Illustrated Compendium of Musical Technology

Tom of Music Thing recieved this book for Christmas this year. I haven't heard of this one yet, but it sounds good based on what Tom has to say about it. "It's my new geek bible, a 542-page encyclopedia of lore, full of diagrams and flowcharts... The ten pages on oscillators don't just explain what they do, but how they do it. " The book was written by co-inventor of the EMS VCS3, Tristram Cary.
