Vintage EMS Synthi A

via this auction
"Serviced by EMS/Robin Wood last year. Only mod done was osc. stabilization. One osc pot/dial was needing changing. I have the original that comes with sale. Robin takes his time with these, takes about 6 months to a year waiting to get serviced. He does amazing work, plays as well as any anaolg of its caliber should play. Independent waveforms on osc 1-2... This one is so clean that Robin was taken aback by it and photographed it for his records. Not only that but it's the 33rd Synthi A ever made placing it around 1970. It has the internal metal backing that only the first ones had. And the best of the joysticks."

Radias 1984

YouTube via Rothgar777 — June 13, 2010 — "'1984' on a Korg Radias. I've always liked the sound of the Oberheim, OB-8 & OBXa and thought I'd give it a go on the Radias. This cover uses 3 custom patches to emulate the OBXa (the best I can :p, I've only had the Radias for 2 days now and still learning about it, its a deep synth). I needed both hands to play it, and without a tripod for the camera, I couldn't shoot the video while playing. If you want to learn how to play the song, there are how-to videos on youtube for 1984."

Techno in 6 sounds using nanoloop

YouTube via darenager — June 13, 2010 — "Nanoloop is an app for the iphone/ipad, it is a 6 part sequencer with sounds synthesized using FM, noise, pulse or sample. You can find out more about it by visiting www.nanoloop.com

This is my first attempt at using it for a track, it is quite easy to use and very minimal but quite interesting and a lot of fun. If you have an ipod touch, iphone or ipad and enjoy making music it is well worth checking out."

Ostracon Video

Ostracon Video from Unearthed Music on Vimeo.

"Shot by Ai student Josh Clos. Recorded and mixed at Ai Minnesota by John Keston and Graham O'Brien.

Ostracon is John Keston on electronics and Graham O'Brien on drums. The duo performs generative, improvisational compositions using John Keston's custom software, the GMS (Gestural Music Sequencer), that converts video input into musical phrases. Keston captures, layers, loops and processes melodic segments in real-time out of the stream of notes created by his gestural input, tailored with probability distribution algorithms. O'Brien accompanies these angular, electronic structures, with dynamic playing that, at times, verges on the chaotic."
