Drumcomuter MFB-502

Affordable little analog drum machine by MFB. Some samples after the hop. Also make sure to check out the MFB Msuikelektronik list for more of their instruments, including the MFB-POLYLITE a four voice version of their MFB-SYNTH LITE II, but with no knobs? BTW, Novamusik used to sell MFB in the states, but I no longer see them on their site. If anyone knows how to get them in the US, please comment.

Wendy Carlos - Jack Robinson Collection



Click here for some amazing shots of Wendy Carlos.

"[Wendy] Carlos, musician and composer, is one of the great innovators in electronic and synthesized music. He is pictured here from a session in December, 1969. Carlos was the innovator behind 'Switched on Bach' and with Rachel Elkind they were composers on Stanley Kubrick's 'A Clockwork Orange', and 'The Shining'."

Moog Synthesizer - Henry Ford Museum, Michigan

Apparently the Henry Ford Museum in Grosse Point, Michigan has the early Moog pictured below listed in their collection. Title link takes you to their Musical Instrument Collection page wher you can see it. If anyone has seen it in person please feel free to comment. Update: Just heard someone saw it on display in the Detroit airport. I remember hearing about a Moog in O'Hare; I wonder if the two were mixed up and it was actually in Detroit? If anyone knows, please comment.

Update: Word is this piece is in the Detroit airport.
