The Volt Per Octaves ~ Super Milk

YouTube via MusicalCafe. Sent my way via Carl. "Musical Cafe TV presents the Volt Per Octaves"
Mouse over the thumbnails at the end of the video for more. Previous post.
Update: I was trying to figure out what this reminded me of. "Red Light" by Siouxsie and the Banshees off of the album Kaleidoscope, mainly the drums and a little bit of the overall vibe.

Schrittmacher controls iDrum

YouTube via shagghie.
"A quick insight into using a hardware sequencer to run a plugin like iDrum, etc. I get a lot of questions on how I use the Schrittmacher, so thought I'd share this tid bit. I normally run DRM1mkII on S1, iDrum on S2, JazBase03 on S3, and leave S4 open to do sample triggering or basslines, etc."

Click here for shots via this auction. via Rob.

"kenton midi kit installed in 2006. To date ive only seen a handful of other VP-330's with midi installed. Needless to say its very useful feature. The retrofit was installed by kenton electronics. Fantastic sounding instrument, rare too with less than 2000 units being made worldwide."

View these full size. Absolutely gorgeous synth.

Beaver and Krause - Spaced - Original THX Theme

Another interesting tidbit from Analog Days. At the end of Beaver and Krause's track "Spaced," is the classic THX theme of rising notes. It was originally played on a MOOG in 1970 and was later copied by a famous Marin County film company. Guess the company and when it was copied. BTW if you have Napster, Rhapsody or any other subscription music service you can listen to the track. Just search for Beaver and Krause. It's on "In a Wild Sanctuary/Gardharva." The theme comes in at the very end.

Previous post. Update: Also check out THX on Music Thing, for the story behind the THX theme. Andy Moorer, the composer of the THX theme, makes no mention of Krause. Stuff like this always fascinates me. People do come up with the same ideas independently of each other, so who knows... It's fascinating either way - by chance or a copy without credit.
