"Don't feel like dancing" - on Elka X-1000

YouTube via organfairy | October 05, 2010

"It was a bit hard to make an organ version of this song. The signer bends the notes a lot and has a quite free interpretation of the melody. But I think I managed to make a decent job out of it. Everything you hear in this video is played on the Italian Elka X-1000 organ but some of the voices has been treated with echo and other effects in post production.

I hope you didn't expect me to prance around in tight leather clothes like the singer of Scissor Sisters did in their original video to this song! Well, actually I did find a picture of me in riding boots and a shiny black jacket - look at the end of the video - it was something I occasionally wore in my student years."

DIY Mattson Mini Modular Tripple Filter & More

What you are looking at is three Mattson Mini Modular filters housed in one 5U module made by Luka. The image is from this post on Muff's showcasing what people have made with MMM DIY modules. If you have an account on Muff's and are logged in you should be able to see the others. If not, I grabbed a few of them for you to see in this post as follows:

BananaPlug's "Squiggletronics edition of the MMM State Variable Filter. I added a 2nd CV input and an attenuator on the audio input. Getting this into one frac unit with 16mm Alpha pots was a tight squeeze. The skinny Davies knob kock offs make it easy to use. The jacks are Serge color code because that's how I do all my 3u banana conversions Blue acrylic panel from Pro-Modular with a bit of white spray paint."

Adam V's Frac 4x Gate Delay, and...

negativspace's "Quad VCA, kitbashed into a VC-mixer via a CGS DC Mixer board, with a side of LEDs."

One thing worth noting about MMM DIY is the circuit boards come fully assembled. Wire and Cable kits are available. You then go from there designing the faceplate, and selecting your knobs.

DUNE performing Venus 1979

Oberheim TVS
"The 1970's Brooklyn Rock Band DUNE featuring Vicki Zollo on Vocals, performing their cover of 'Venus' after a about 60 seconds of the progressive number called 'Clockwork'. This video demonstrates to some degree the changes in musical direction DUNE went through from 1976 to 1980. That said ... they did continue to mix progressive songs like Clockwork and more avant garde material into their live shows. Dune's Inna Gada Da Vida cover was very interesting."
