KAWAI K5 Synthesizer Book Making It Happen Dan Walker

via this auction

"This is 'KAWAI K5 Making It Happen' book. This is a manual for the K5 "The Book That Puts Human Beings Back In Charge of the Synthesizer". It is similar to the "Whatever for Dummies" series. It is written by Dan Walker who wrote a few of these and one is for the Roland D-50 / D-550. It is 103 8 ½" X 11" pages."

Thought this cover was pretty funny.

Vintage Hammond USA 102100 Synth

via this auction
"Rare Hammond 102100 Monophonic Synthesizer. Made in the USA 1974/1975. YES HAMMOND MADE A SYNTH! This one of less than 50 working synths in the world. It is estimated that Hammond produced only 200 units. This is a fully functioning, complete with stand and smoked plexi music holder monophonic synthesizer... Little info is out there on these units. From what I have found they were probably made by Ikutaro Kakehashi the creator of The Roland Company and Hammond Japan. In 1976ish Hammond Japan made the 102200. Only around 200 units as well. They look exactly the same. Single 1/4" out.

No midi. Neat synth. Nice action for 30+ year old vintage gear."

"A synthesizer track composed with a arpeggiator loop from the Kurzweil Midiboard connected with the Kawai k1r and the Waldorf micro Q. The solo vibe sounds are from a Yamaha CX5M computer and the Korg Lamda in combination with a Moogerfooger . Accords played om the Juno 106 and on the Korg Lamda."

Skoulaman introduction

"In this video I am showing some instruments I use for my music."

Roland System-100M feedback oscillation

Roland System-100M feedback oscillation from macumbista on Vimeo.

"Synth-pr0n from my trip to London during March 2009.

Somehow, no matter what machine I sit down in front of, I always try out the same patch--a big VCO feedback system, with a little sample-and-hold noise thrown in for good measure.

Thanks to Mick Grierson and Ian Stonehouse at Goldsmiths University for access to this fantastic piece of gear!

[Sound is from built in camera mic and is pretty low, anybody know some simple tool to normalize volume of a Quicktime clip?]"

TONEWHEELS workshop, DA Festival, Sofia Bulgaria

TONEWHEELS workshop, DA Festival, Sofia Bulgaria from macumbista on Vimeo.

"TONEWHEELS is an experiment in converting graphical imagery to sound, inspired by some of the pioneering 20th Century electronic music inventions.

In this three day workshop from 24-27 October 2009, participants built a simple light-to-sound converter and DC motor controller, and then began to experiment with drawing sounds onto transparent "tonewheels". The workshop ended in a group performance and an invitation to the audience to try out the instruments for themselves.

As you can see, both the participants and the audience had a great time with this. I did too! My thanks go to Galina Dimitrova, Rene Beekman, Prof. Svetoslav Kokalov, Venelin Shurelov, DA Festival, National Academy of the Arts Sofia, Elena Kaludova and all the participants for a fantastic workshop in Bulgaria!"
