Thanks to Nate for letting me use your 7d! Thanks to Robbie for letting me use your casio drums, and to Rory for making this video totes awesome!
This was shot in my studio OHDEERGOD. All the synths and vocals were done live into Protools. I'm awkward!
Thanks for watching!!!!"

TONTO Pics

"My friend Doug Milford got the chance recently to meet with Malcolm Cecil and tour the studio. Doug's brother, who passed away in the late 80s, was named Kim Milford. If you poke around on the web, you'll find that Kim Milford sang with Jeff Beck for a period. And he also did a lot of acting in theater, Broadway, films, television, as well as music composition before his untimely passing while still in his 30s.

Kim had recorded some songs at the TONTO studio (lamentably, none with synths I'm told), and Doug was visiting Malcolm to track down some of the old master reels. Luckily for us, Doug snapped some great photos of the famous TONTO synth. You can see a lot of it very close up"

You can find aditonal pics here.

"The Original New Timbral Orchestra designed and built by Malcom Cecil. The TONTO features such synths as:

2 Moog Series III Modular Synthesizers

Bugbrand Beats - celebrating modular expansion

YouTube Uploaded by otoskope on Jun 2, 2011

"A patch celebrating the arrival of some serious expansion for my blue modular system from Bugbrand.

The sound is recorded directly from the line signal from the synth, and could need some serious mastering, but I had fun doing it.

In addition to Bugbrand, there are some bananafied Wiard modules, and a Haible 'Living VCO' in the system."
