"The New Time Scape is designed for analog style delay, thousands of variations for effecting incoming sound and extreme sample fuqwithing. This work has automated patchable effects which amongst many other things can be made to process sample timing, allowing you to cipher through parts of a sample as it repeats or toggle back and fourth between any variation of ring mod or compression for example."

Natural M2 VOC - Analog Natural Vocoder

Marc Marc Amsterdam 2002

"The first Natural sounding Vocoder is yet to come... Vocoders always have been in demand for their ability to transform the human voice into all sorts of alien sounding voices. The original idea behind the musical application of Vocoders is to give the articulation and emotion of the human voice to a musical instrument, while maintaining its instrumental quality. In short: make the instrument sing!" Click the link above for more.

Handmade Music Austin - DIY music workshops

YouTube via EA78751
"Handmade Music Austin - a new series of DIY music workshops for 2009-2010 presented by Church of the Friendly Ghost.

In a workshop setting, we'll present a newly-designed series of miniature electronic instruments, called Andromeda Space Rockers. No bigger than a credit card, these projects are designed for DIY'ers like you. They can be built in a couple of hours to make a working drum machine, bass generator, or micro-synthesizer. These fun little instruments love to jam together, and they do it by forming a wireless network to keep the rhythm!

Of course, there will be an open jam / performance once the instruments are built.

Workshop dates 2009-2010 October 18 November 15 December 20 January 17 February 28 March 14 April 18

Registration is $45 and includes materials

That would be TONTO in the background.

You might recognize the shot from the Synths in TV and Film post.

See I love hot dogs for a few more shots and a write-up on the film.

Bottom: nice grill

Hmm... was this the first grill? Is it actually a grill? The grill before the grill? Would be cool if the first grill ever was somehow associated with synths.
