"Finally, the new Voice of Saturn VCF is nearly ready. We'll be selling it through Analogue Haven soon. I'm really happy with the way this one came out, visually. I'll be doing a panel for the synth soon!"
A few of the Blacet/Frac versions are left. See the Voice of Saturn site for more.
"I spent the winter of 1979-1980 in Europe as a graduate student of the MIT physics department, working at our R209 muon pair experiment running at the Intersecting Storage Rings at the CERN Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. These were extremely stimulating years; CERN is a fantastic environment for high-energy physics (especially then, as it was about to enter a golden age with the launch of the p-bar-p collider), and living in Geneva was fabulous; with the French Alps and Jura nearby, there were many highpoints. Things quieted down though as the winter shutdown began at CERN and all of the postdocs left town for the holidays. I myself was about to leave for a couple of weeks in Rome to visit relatives, but there was a good gap of a week or two beforehand when I had a fair amount of time on my hands and a nice workshop available (always a dangerous situation). Although I often took advantage of an old piano that was hidden in a cable tunnel under the main CERN restaurant, I missed my synthesizers, and wanted to play with electronic music again."

"An improvisation on piano and modular synthesizer. The central theme is a projector that reflects images pertinent to my life. The genre is ambient, slow and contemplative - I suppose there are some influences by Satie and the theme from The Persuaders.
Instruments used: Kurzweil K2500X for the piano, Synthesizers.com modular for the synth.'
"Previously I have done some covers on a pile of Casio toy keyboards. But this time I am playing some Yamahas instead. Most of them gets their sound from a simple FM synthesizer which makes them sound a bit cheap compared to the Casios. But still I found a way to make the seven keyboards I used fit nicely together in the mix.
The song is "Whenever you want me" by Danish band Laid Back."
"Trapped in a static limbo of their own devise, our heroes pretend not to notice the Creature's noisy spew. Who will win this war of wills? Only Rex Probe knows for sure (give him a call). Many thanks to ether^ra for birthing our favorite poker-faced sociopath, Zombie Baby. Mullet is based on a combination of K-Mart surrealism and Long Island genetic engineering. As the philosopher says 'ENJOY'."

Our heroes are still twiddling the Creature's plentiful knobs in that static-filled, semi- hypnagogic state we (and the Wire) love so much. I guess we're all somewhat needy and ready to hang on to the latest (and maybe most meaningless) of "concepts". Silly."
