"You can now pre-order my album for only 10 euro/dollars!! This offer will expire on the release date - 2 May 2012. The CD will be shipped to you so that you should receive it by the Finnish release date. Shipping 2 euro/dollars shipping! http://www.inverse.fi/store/

Finally, my debut album is ready!! This album is a tribute to the great synthesizer music that I grew up with of artists such as Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, and Mike Oldfield. The album consists of music made only using vintage analog synthesizers recorded in the old fashioned way using only sequencers, tape machines and analog mixers, which gives the album a very warm and organic sound.

My album will be released on the Secret Entertainment label as a digipack CD and mp3 downloads. The Finnish release date is 2.5.2012 and the international release date is 8.6.2012."

Noisy jelly is a game where the player has to cook and shape his own musical material, based on coloured jelly.

With this noisy chemistry lab, the gamer will create his own jelly with water and a few grams of agar agar powder. After added different color, the mix is then pour in the molds. 10 min later, the jelly shape can then be placed on the game board,and by touching the shape, the gamer will activate different sounds.

Technically, the game board is a capacitive sensor, and the variations of the shape and their salt concentration, the distance and the strength of the finger contact are detected and transform into an audio signal.
This object aims to demonstrate that electronic can have a new aesthetic, and be envisaged as a malleable material, which has to be manipulated and experimented.

Update: via lars on FB: emu patch panel. You can see the classic emu modular blue.

"For sale is a one of a kind Oberheim FVS Four Voice System SEM analog synthesizer. These are the original vintage ones. Custom black face rack mounted. I believe there may be only 8 black faces out there?? Very very rare. An oberheim tech who built these told me these were once part of an Eight Voice System. There is no keyboard, it's four SEMs racked, but fully patched out, modular style interface with 1/4" jacks (full patch points listed below). Awesome sound, these vintage SEMs have their own sound and it's a little more raw than the newer ones. With the modular patching this makes it much more flexible than having to use the keyboard. You can run separate sequencers in each voice, stack them as one four voice mono synth, or split them in 2/2 3/1 combinations, or play it as four separate mono synths. I've always wanted to build a nice case for this, but never found the time. I leave that project tho the future owner. This was serviced two years ago and is fully functional, lightly used in my smoke free home studio.

Patching from left to right:
Mod Out, Mod In, VCO CV1 in, CV2 in, VCO2 CV1 in, CV2 in, Gate Env1 in/out, Env2 in/out
VCA IN, LFO IN/OUT, VCF CV1/CV2, MOD IN, FREQ, and 5 Multi jacks. Ext. in, voice volume and panning is on the back of the synth."

"This is it people the sound behind the opening of Eastenders and the Pussycat Dolls' 'Don't Cha' kick! This is the Moog of drum synths. This one is extra special because it has the Kenton MIDI retrofit. It's the last one they sold and installed in 2002. The brain is clean and sounds great. Trigger it analog or via MIDI to phatten up your acoustic sound a'la Dave Weckl 'Chick Corea Electrik Band'"
