CRAFT Video: Craft Meets Tech at MIT

"In this week's CRAFT Video, come with me to the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. There I met with e-textiles pioneer Leah Buechley and students from her research group called "High-Low Tech," which Leah describes as "blends" of technology with traditional crafts to make new toolkits for creativity and learning."

Crumar Performer 70's String & Brass Synthesizer

via this auction.


"Here we have a working 1979 Crumar Performer Analog Synthesizer. As a huge Duran Duran fan, I nearly fell out of my chair when I found this online, it provided the strings on some of the most influential and popular New Wave 80’s albums. Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran used the Crumar Performer extensively with his Roland Jupiter 8 and Sequential Circuits Prophet. In fact, those were the only synthesizes he used on the first few albums (Notably Duran Duran and Rio), before he moved onto digital and sampling synths, starting with Seven and the Ragged Star and the Fairlight sampler synth. This synthesizer was also used by the rock band Kansas, further providing that iconic Performer string sound."

Update via Steamy Vicks in the comments: it was a Jupiter 4, not 8 in the early albums. Sold For: US $249.00

HarriL - Midnight Jamming (Live)

YouTube via HarriL

"Time to fire up the EMX-ESX-309-Revolution gang once again and make the machines scream. This one went on a bit longer that I had planned (like it always does with improvised stuff) so I had to cut the video a bit so that it's ok for youtube.

The same camera and lense as the previous video, still waiting for the wider angle lense to be fixed; hence the tight shot.

Comments greatly appreciated!"

Hold Your Phone Up - homage to sound pioneer Maryanne Amacher

follow-up to this post

"UPCOMING: HOLD YOUR PHONE UP (2010)

As part of the Baltimore Contemporary Museum's PROJECT 20 series, celebrating their 20th Anniversary, Neighborhood Public Radio will host a coast-to-coast audio-project for broadcast.

In homage to sound pioneer Maryanne Amacher, who died in October, NPR will re-imagine her seminal radio-locative sound project CITY LINKS (1967) as a community remix project to be aired locally in Baltimore, and streamed to Portable Radio Instruments for broadcast in San Diego, Chicago, and Albuquerque.

Broadcasts will occur every Sunday night at 9pm (EST).

We will collect these recordings every week and remix and process them for broadcast. We will also post the files on our website, inviting anyone to remix and reuse the recordings.

If you remix these sounds, send them to: nprphoneup@gmail.com
and we'll put them on the air."
