(for the vintage synth review)

The fattest bass ever...
Moog Taurus 1 bass pedals (demo of the legendary preset sounds and the various VCF and envelope settings, Glide, some untypical Taurus sounds and more);
drums: Roland TR-606

You must have very good bass loudspeakers or a subwoofer to hear the deep frequences.

Attention!
Please turn the Volume pot of your speaker in middle position.
Some sounds can destroy your speakers ... and your ears! ;-)

This video demo is not a musical statement, only demonstration of the sound possibilities of the instrument."

Doepfer 3 x A180 multiples for portable suitecase

Hielo Patagonia Sounds has a post up on a small DIY project to modify the Doepfer portable suitecase with multiples along the top.

The top strip outlined in blue is where the multiples will go.

"The trick will be to use 3 Doepfer A-180 modules and unscrew them from theirs faceplates. Then, use a square aluminium tube (20 x 20 mm - thickness 1 mm), drill some holes in it and screw again the Doepfer modules inside the tube. At the end, just drill two holes in the top wood part of a portable suitcase and screw the new 'Doepfer 3 x A180 multiples in a tube'."
You can find more info including a PDF of the technical drawings on Hielo Patagonia Sounds.

To reproduce sounds electronically with this synthesis it is necessary to first analyze the audio signal and convert it in a form usable by the Neuron Audio System. In the case of the < […]

Jean-Jacques Perrey and Dana Countryman

Box of Textures has a review of the recent Jean-Jacques Perrey and Dana Countryman show in NY. Definitely worth checking out. You'll find more images including one of the opening act, Circuit Parade.

The following is an excerpt:
"Perrey was absolutely charming and totally hilarious! He introduced every song with a story, sometimes also pointing out some of his musical partners who were in the audience (Gershon Kingsley, for example). Perrey and Countryman played mostly analog equipment. Countryman had a Prophet ’08 as his main instrument, and Perrey had a Poly Evolver Keyboard, Minimoog Model D and an Ondioline. Countryman also had an Arp 2600, but it sounded like it was constantly playing a sample and hold pattern in the background while Perrey was talking, so Countryman leaned over and switched the 2600 off."
