"Published the same year electro-industrial pioneers Kraftwerk released their breakthrough album "Autobahn," here's a wonderful, rare tutorial on creating electronic music with analog synthesizers, focusing specifically on the ARP Odyssey, their scaled-down version of the ARP 2600 console. Apart from some scuffing of the cover and light soiling along the edges, the book is internally clean and otherwise in very good condition. 213 pages. First edition, copyright 1974."

Return of the LSD

YouTube Published on Apr 16, 2012 by chamberofsounds

"The LSD (light sensitive delay) is back and better than ever. You don't need to plug in an instrument to play - it's an optical theremin, as well as a delay, with endless, controllable, feedback. It's gritty sound & nasty glitches will fuel the fire for even the noisiest space explorations. Get yours exclusively @ chamberofsounds.com"

Herb Deutsch Interview on Astronauta Pinguim

"In 1963 Herb Deutsch met Robert Arthur Moog at a conference of the NYSSMA (New York State School Music Association) in Rochester, NY. The year before, Herb had built a Melodia model theremin, from an article written by Robert Moog on “Electronics World” magazine, in which Bob explained step by step how to assemble the theremin and this was the initial subject of conversation between them.The ideas evolved very quickly, and they decided to work together in a project to build a sound synthesizer, based on the principles of voltage controlled that were already being developed by Bob. In 1964 they designed and assembled the first prototype of the Moog synthesizer and, among other things, it was Herb who insisted on the idea of using a keyboard similar to a piano, because it would be more practical to composers and it would also help to increase the sales of the new instrument."

Update: Just spotted the following video linked in the interview and realized I hadn't posted it before. You'll notice the tuning on the Mini is a off. He mentions it at the 2:00 mark. This is Minimoog #94.
