The infamous Don Martin Moog modular. For those that do not know the story, Don Martin obtained the rights to the MOOG name after the company went under and while Bob Moog was doing business as Big Briar. Bob Moog eventually won his name back, but not without having to fight for it. You can see a letter from Bob regarding the name in this post. Be sure to click on the Donimoog or Don Martin link at the bottom of this post for more. The "Donimoog" refered to the Don Martin Minimoog. You can see some in the prior posts.
The modules in these auctions are an interesting bit of synth history.

Modules listed (note the first 901A nd 910 power supply are genuine RA Moog):

1 x '71 Moog Modular 901A Osc Controller Module
1 x RA MOOG 910 power supply
2 x MOOG 901A / Don Martin 9501B
2 x MOOG 911 / Don Martin 9511
1 x MOOG 902 / Don Martin 9502
1 x MOOG 904A / Don Martin 9504A

Note the Don Martin modules added the 5 after the 9. Also note the 901A is a 9501B? Not sure if that was a typo in the auction or the correct labeling per Don Martin.

"This is a drive through Seoul in a taxi. He was going quite fast. I just got the camera so I don't know what I'm doing. He also took me on the scenic route. You can tell in the video. I didn't know. You can see his name and picture.
It was a morning in 2000 after going to the bars."

Luca Capozzi's DNA Inspired Music

"Using genetics to make music is very fun. During my researches I found that genetics algorithms are often used to create evolving patterns but, unfortunately, they do not sounds very musical. My approach is to program some Reaktor ensembles using simple yet musically effective genetic tricks to achive evolving rhythms and music patterns."

You can find the experiments here.
