two black beauties

via Cikira
"I had two of the prettiest items in my studio side by side while I was getting them settled in--both musical interfaces with plenty of black lacquer woodwork. You can tell they want to be together! The genoQs Octopus is familiar, of course. The other is a burl-top four-octave Array Mbira; no MIDI, just organic goodness and a pair of pickups beggin' for delays. They're such an elegant pair, I thought I'd share. :-)"

Update via Chef Barry in the comments: "Search for youtube vids of the Array Mbira. It sounds friggin gorgeous! Like this: [video below]"

ROBOTIC SINGING VOICE & KARAOKE KODE on Parallax Propeller

YouTube via VironCybernet
"This is nothing new, except for me. My voice synthesizer experiments are mostly unique and ignorant of the way other people do it. I am interested in using voice synthesizers to make songs. My music technology is unique but it could use more work in the parts involving lyrics. I didn't make THIS speech synthesizer, but I just gave it some words to sing and display them with my "Karaoke Code" because the voice isn't very clear. I wasn't sure if "99 bottles of beer" was copyrighted, but although it would be easy to make it sing the whole thing, it also seems to me that a lot of people think that would be very annoying... SO I DID SOMETHING ELSE.

I'm still annoyed at the music police and inventing lots of cheap easy ways to make new music.
I could have easily added instruments to this, I guess, but I didn't.
