We are in heavy rotation on many radio shows and were featured in the Living Room Concert series on the National Public Radio program ECHOES. Our music has been aired on the syndicated radio show "Music From The Hearts of Space"
Life In Balance is a Pittsburgh-based nationally touring and recording duo committed to using sacred musical instruments merged with current technology to create an integrated sonic environment for transformation.

We have personally grown and cultivated our audiences and venues through constant touring and meeting liked minded groups of people throughout the country. Our successes are measured in the connections that we make with the listeners as well as CD sales."

Minimoog Model D Update

The mini in this post is up for sale. Details at that post.

MINIMOOG Soundmodul Nachbau aus DDR-Zeiten

via this auction

"Hallo,Ihr bietet auf einen Minimoog-Nachbau aus Zeiten der DDR. Wer das Gerät genau gebaut hat, kann ich leider nicht sagen. Auf jeden Fall kommt er dem original Bassklang ziemlich nah, macht aber auch ganz eigene schräge Sounds. Mir ist vor einiger Zeit die Tastatur kaputt gegangen und ich hatte nie Zeit und die Muse, es zu reparieren. Nach Aussage eines Freundes, sollte es aber kein Problem sein. Das Kabel ist mit vorhanden.CV-Gate Steuerung müsste dort mit angeschlossen werden. Das Gerät ist etwas für Nostalgiker, Bastler und sonstige Soundexzentriker, die was ganz eigenes haben wollen. Ich bin überzeugt, dass die Stückzahl nicht groß gewesen sein kann. Also, hier ist die Gelegenheit für etwas besonderes und im Studio macht er was her. Jeder will mal anfassen! Der Verkauf erfolgt von privat, keine Gewährleistung. Viel Spaß beim Bieten!"

Googlish:
"Hello, Your offer on a Minimoog-time replica of the GDR. Who built the device accurately, I can not say. In any case, the original bass he sounds pretty close, but it also sounds very own slant. I recently broke the keyboard and I never had time and the muse, to repair it. According to a friend, but it should not be a problem. The cable is vorhanden.CV gate control should there be. The device is a bit of nostalgic, handymen and other Soundexzentriker, which was very own wish to have. I am convinced that the number was not large can be. So, here is the opportunity for something special in the studio and what makes it forth. Everyone wants to touch times! The sale is done by private, no warranty. Enjoy bidding!"

"This was originally intended to be a demo of the my tube VCA module, but it kinda turned into this weird sequenced thinger.

Synth 1 -
XRVCO Triangle to wavefoler, XRVCO square -1 octave both go to MS20 VCF and then into the pentode tube VCA.

Synth 1 - SNVoice 25% square to Polivoks VCF into pentode VCA. Sounds strangely syncish.

Synth 3 - VCO 1 into Wasp filter and then into boring old VCA.

meh."

Yamaha KX-25 Controller Keyboard Overviewed

YouTube via gearwire
"The fairly unassuming look of the Yamaha KX-25 USB Controller Keyboard belies a solid unit with a sophisticated built-in arpeggiator. Being that he'd demo a broom-handle if it had an arpeggiator on it, Bill was more than happy to tear into this dapper controller.

This first clip on the KX-25 features an in-depth look at the arpeggiator, as well as some of the controls that make this the perfect partner for Steinberg Cubase, which, hey guess what, it comes bundled with.
