mono-poly's Atlantic Storm

You might remember mono-poly from his modular noodles featuring various modular gear including Buchla, Elby Designs, Serge, Metalbox, Wiard, the Blippo Box, Cynthia, RSF, Klee and more.

He now has a new album out titled Atlantic Storm. The following is a blurb on the album from Strange Life Records, where you can pick it up.

"Monopoly's second album after releasing the ZOND3 CD on the Japanese Doppelganger records in 2008. Think of the great rural ambient sounds of Brian Eno's On Land mixed with dark isolationist dronescapes from the 1980s. Using rare modular synthesizers such as ancient EMS synthi's, Buchla's, Serge's etc. Atlantic Storm is the perfect music for a cold rainy day on the outer hebrides' atlantic shores...and that is ofcourse, just the way we like it. Probably one of the most essential rural ambient albums on strange life records so far! Comes in a DVD box with a Monopoly postcard. Check out the soundbytes here."

Yamaha SHS-200 Keytar FM Digital MIDI Synth Keyboard

via this auction
"A/C power supply is included, though of course it can run on batteries as well. Most people are more familiar with the smaller, bright red SHS-10. The SHS-200 is the successor of the SHS-10 and is in many ways a more professional instrument. It features a larger keyboard, more voices and styles, and greater flexibility in terms of options and features. It even has STEREO speakers built in! The best part is that you can MIDI this keytar to a sound module or another keyboard and get any kind of sound that you want."

WintherStormer Rising Ashes I

YouTube via WintherStormer. some synth spotting. Don't miss the second vid below.
"WintherStormer played an outdoor night concert in Tvedestrand, Norway as part of the "Kystkulturfestivalen" (Costal Cultural Festival) on July 8th, 2008. The narrow "Cat Valley" (Kattedalen) was turned into a nice wooden venue just for this concert. This is a video clip from the abstract beginning of "Rising Ashes", that can also be found on WintherStormer´s second album "Electric Fairytales". Only one camera was active at this point in the concert. Additional info here: http://www.wintherstormer.no/concerts...
