1978 Arp Avatar Demo Record

YouTube via jafafah0ts flexi disc
"A vintage 1978 demonstration flexidisc promoting the Arp Avatar."

Update via Brian in the comments: "Ha! This was Ned Leben (the misspell it as Liben) from the band EBN OZN (Leben and Rosen). They were big on MTV in the '80s and he did early Taking Heads records (Psycho Killer) at his home studio in NYC.

The rarely-heard Avatar! I think Heart used their's on 'Dog and Butterfly' album and Pete Townshend on 'Rough Boys'."

Audio Damage Re-releases Ronin

Full details at Analog Industries
Excerpt: "Now, before you Ronin nUbs get too excited, I should point out a couple things. If you're a more recent convert to Audio Damage, you might have a particular idea of the "sound" of our plug-ins. You might go so far as to say that we make things that are "rough around the edges," or "heavy-handed," or, if you're feeling salty, "Full Of Techno." Our more recent plug-ins are to Ronin as a new-born kitten is to a pit bull that has been beaten with a garden hose daily for a year straight. This plug-in is a dose of Heavy Duty.

For starters, you can route the output of any block to the input of any block, including itself. You also have full unhindered access to the feedback loop of the delays. The delays can do unity feedback, and they also have the same looping engine as Dubstation. (This plug-in is, in fact, the source of that looping engine.) As such, there is virtually no limit to how this plug-in can be routed. We normally build in limits to our plug-ins nowadays that inform how they'll be used, but in Ronin there are nonesuch, except that we're (reasonably) certain you won't set your speakers on fire."

DIY Suitcase Synth - Panel 3 Testing

YouTube via pickleinn
"Testing the topp buchla 281 circuits in combo with the EM MPS (mega percussive synth).....The output of the MPS is going to the CGS led driver which is connected to a 1/4" standard jack. This is the first time i plugged this unit in (actually i plugged it in, did this quick patch and then turned on the camera). Now i have to finish panel 2 and panel 1 to complete the suitcase synth."

SYNTHPACK WORKSHOP + PUBLIC SOUND INTERVENTION

Smokes that are good for you...

via Michael: "I'm doing a synth workshop + public intervention with handheld "synthpacks" in downtown Boulder - -"

"ArtDistrict is thrilled to present the work of multimedia artist Michael Trigilio the second week of July 2009. With more information to come, here's the skinny:

Michael is a member of the Visual Art/Media faculty at UC San Diego. A 2008 Whitney Biennial participant as part of Neighborhood Public Radio, Michael's video and sound work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.

While in Boulder, Michael will explore sound as art and enable you to do the same with his synthpack workshop and public sound intervention. Learn to create your own portable electronic sound device, then take to the streets of Boulder and use those smokin' hot sythnpacks in a public sound intervention. {That's them on the left - click HERE for demo.}"
