Diabolical Devices 707 and Matter Disorganizer with SH101

YouTube via bigcitymusic. http://bigcitymusic.com
"This is a fun setup. The rim trigger out of the 707 is clocking the 101's sequencer which is cool because you can alter the pattern rhythm very easily. These modded 707's are great for tweaking on the fly. You can turn all the pitch mods on and off on the right and control their pitches with the bottom row of knobs. There are a few global bends on left which are fun too. The Matter Disorganizer is a brutally massive fuzz with an octave up. Between the Matter Disorganizer and the awesome filter on the 101 you can get some crazy sounds."

Radiohead - Reckoner (Dem Suite Remix)

YouTube via suitemusic. also see...
"This is a video of a remix performance of Radiohead's "Reckoner" from In Rainbows that I've been working out on the monome for a while now. I'm using my monome 64 running mlrV to chop and sequence each track/loop. The black monome 40h I built with ultraviolet (UV) LEDs is running vu scroll (a scrolling VU meter app) which is picking up the sound in the studio from the laptop's built-in mic. All of the audio was recorded and mixed down in Ableton Live 8. I used my laptop's iSight and a small Sony for the video. I used Adobe Premier Pro CS4 to edit the video (it was my first time using Premier Pro for a project).

Thanks go out to Radiohead for providing the stems of their music and especially monome.org and the monome community for its collective genius and overall awesomeness!

Restoring a CASIO toy keyboard

YouTube via organfairy
"I got this little CASIO SA-10 from a jumble sale. It cost me a massive 10 dkr - the equivalent of 2$.
Unfortunately there was no sound but it turned out to be just some old batteries that had leaked all over the place. This video shows the restoring process where I first take it apart. Then I wash the plastic parts and clean the contact pads. And finally I put it together again and test if it works.
The music that comes with this video is something I made myself and it is played on the Yamaha HE-8 organ,Viscount RBX-850 organ, Roland JX-8P synthesizer, Korg Rhytm 55 drum machine, and the melody is played on a Yamaha PSS-12 and a CASIO SA-1 toy keyboard. The SA-10 that is shown in this video has the same sound chip as the SA-1 but four note polyphony instead of two."

"That's me" - on Böhm Station One

YouTube via organfairy

"It has been a while since I used the Böhm workstation. Last time it was for "They say it's gonna rain" and only for some of the arrangement.
But this time the complete song is played on the Böhm. The GEM keyboard is only used as a MIDI controller since the Böhm doesn't have a keyboard.
I have had numerous requests to do more ABBA songs so this time I am playing "That's me" from the Arrival album. I recall this song from my early childhood in the 70's so I thought it could be fun to do the video in a style resembling this period of time. So I found my old (half) mirrorball and a red rhinestone t-shirt and that´s it - and that´s me..... "
