"Charles Cohen's instrument after a show with Erik Ruin at the Physick House in Philadelphia."

click here for a couple more shots of the blue and white Tim Love MacBeth M5, sent my way directly from the man himself, Ken MacBeth:
"That is a custom M5 designed for artist and producer Tim 'Love' Lee some two or so years ago. I called it the 'Love Machine'... For your viewers' interest- here are some other pics =] Looking back at it, I think it has an almost futuristic meets art deco flavour!

Regards to all, Ken"

Buchla 222e Shipping

via Tom:
"I thought your readers would be interested to know that Buchla and Associates is finally shipping their 222e, Multi-Dimensional Kinesthetic input port module(s). I picked up mine friday and have not taken the rings off since:) This system will be featured quite a bit on the upcoming Fuxa record, "Electric Sound of Summer" due out later this year."

Thanks Tom! That is one gorgeous system.

"Emerson, Lake & Palmer at the California Jam in 1974."
via steveo on the-gas-station
"Ooooo this footage is rare for several reasons - First it is extremely good quality footage from the legendary Cal Jam 74 festival.. Headlining were ELP (support acts included The Eagles , Black Sabbath and Deep Purple)....anyway for synth anoraks it is THE ONLY FOOTAGE of the Moog Constellation System being used. There was I believe only one system ever made and it was the forerunner to the polymoog...It was only ever recorded on ELP's Brain Salad Surgery Album...(the footage is a live performance of part of that album) - Of course also of note is Emmo giant Moog Modular which doubles as "the computer" ....lol...you see Emmo play the constellation right at the start then at about 2'50 ...theres more parts of this concert with better shots of the constellation (but not it being played)... Fabulous!"

Fairlight Sample demo

YouTube via dbeckster
"Turn up the volume and you'll here the drums: bad audio. A Fairlight, my good children, was a sampler back in the day (made by PPG) that had the most unique and incredible sounds ever. It was even better than a Moog synthesizer, but the cost was killer. Luckily, I found some Fairlight samples on my dad's Emax. Please, enjoy and tell me how I did."
PPG? Anyone know if there was any affiliation whatsoever?

Casio VL-Tone

via this auction

"Casio VL-tone VL-1 electronic musical instrument and calculator. It comes with its vinyl case and original cardboard box, which is worn. It also comes with the original instructions and a small songbook, "Assorted Melodies for VL-1." It is super-clean and looks like it was never used or used VERY little. The battery compartment is clean, too. It takes four AA batteries or could work with an ac adaptor (not included). It is fun and compact -- it is a bit under 12 inches long and under 3 inches wide."
