Lou Reed Uses The Haken Continuum

This one sent in via John:
"Was reading the music reviews in the New York Times and found this:

Music Review | Lou Reed
All Those Sounds From the Stage: Processed, and Not Always Pretty

'Although for half of the show, before picking up a guitar, he played a Continuum Fingerboard, a touch-sensitive instrument that depends on outside sound sources; it wasn’t clear whether Mr. Reed’s were guitar-related or not.'"

Note this is a full case done in mahogany, not just the side panels. You can find project details including more images on subatomicglue.

Note the bottom shot is a comparison of the Juno-60 wood panel with the Juno-106 also in mahogany.

"A sound and light installation. When we're not there, this attic is playing a new genre of industrial symphony.....

What you're seeing is a dark attic space in which the frames of wood and the pipes are being lit by a very precise ray of light, giving us the illusion that the light comes from inside the object.

Each lit object has its own individual sound.

This was made in the attic of The Pavilion in Bexhyl on Sea, England. This is my first experiment, I'm preparing an exhibition for the Brighton Fringe based on this idea. I'm collaborating with Mike Blow who will put light sensors on each lit object to react with sound. The sonic result is amazing as it directly reacts to the ligh projected.

Come and see the exhbition called "Sonic Art" at The Blank Gallery in Brighton, between the 2nd and 16th May.

SYNARE 3 vintage drum synthesizer

via this auction

".....way cool vintage electronic drum sythesizer by Star Instruments. This thing is a doozie man....it has oscillator 1 and oscillator 2 ....filter....and amplifier with decay. I believe this gem is responsible for the genius early 80s sounds of bands like Joy Division, Prince, Devo, Kim Karnes and probably many others."
