"A realtime audio-visual performance:

Rynth uses parameters from real-time sound analysis to generate transformations and deformations of geometric primitives. Its dynamic surface texture is generated by incoming audio frequencies resulting in a synaesthetic surface modulation. The result morphing geometric construction pays homage to gyroscopic devices and anti-gravity mechanics.

Vintage Serge Modular Stolen From Bard College

This one in via Daniel

"my alma mater, bard college, just had a devastating theft. someone broke into the electronic music studio and ripped a panel out of their 4 panel Serge Modular. I spent two years learning about electronic music on this very instrument. The loss of the panel is utterly detrimental to the system—this was the panel which had all the filters and slope generators on it.

THIS IS A CUSTOM PANEL. if you see/find anything like it, it's probably that very one.

a list of the modules in the missing panel: (L to R)

Variable Slope FIlter
Dual Universal Slope Generator
Resonant Equalizer
C/M (control module)
dual preamp/envelope follower
Dual Universal Slope Generator (2nd)"

The following is the flyer and contact info:

"WHO TOOK THE SERGE from Blum n119?
WE DON’T CARE
WE JUST WANT IT BACK
SOMEONE MUST KNOW
PLEASE JUST RETURN IT

NO QUESTIONS ASKED

Chroma Enabler Available for Order

via Randel:

"I'm writing to let you know that I'm accepting orders for a production run of Enablers - my 96 knob physical controller for the CC+ equipped Rhodes Chroma

Photos and video are available at the following links:

http://enabler.redshift-consulting.com/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFS7jhMdfMw
[video below]

The price is $2,600 US, plus shipping, and orders will require an $800 US deposit. I anticipate a production time of approximately 6 months from the receipt of a deposit to the shipment of your Enabler.

Because each Enabler is hand crafted, there are a few opportunities for customization - I'm currently making the outer case from Bubinga for a customer, and I can vary the dimensions and finish of the case to attempt to match those of your Chroma. Also, I can customize the startup screen to display (nearly) any text that you wish.

Also, because each Enabler is hand crafted, there might be slight imperfections and variations in the casework, and in the operating system code; currently the LCD can become unresponsive after many hours of continuous use, but it's operation is restored after a power cycle.

Shipping and insurance is expensive. I'll work with domestic and international customers to determine the best way to get your Enabler to you.

If you're interested, please let me know, and send a deposit via PayPal [link]

I'm always happy to answer questions.

Thanks!

-Randel"

"Synplode: To experience the convergence of time and space, sometimes through sound and light.

This video illustrates the Synplode Project produced on a small scale. Synplode may be produced on a human scale, as big as a tennis court.
