"This is number 1 of my last 2 Speak & Spell mods ever. I am closing up shop on this model and my bending mods for sale to the general public for good. So, get one of my last five units now because after they are gone, that is IT. I also have some other Speak & Read, Math and SK-1 mods available on other listings. Only two each of those are available. If you'd like to see why I am ceasing public sales soon, check out my blog: Search the web for "XFMR DIY Projects" to see.

"1.76 of 9th states extract from Mathius Shadow-Sky's 2012 pilot solo performance in the fog live at the Ring Theater, mixing an analogue synthesizer from the 80s with a Chinese violin called jinghu (used in Pekinese opera to double singing voices) gives: 'Music with No Name' as invisible music in lightness. The function of the fog is to play with our conditioned perceptions inside of the uncallable unnamed music (avoiding strong stereotypes): does it?

« L'ancien compositeur écrivain & le nouveau compositeur réalisateur : du XIXe au XXI siècle
La domination politique (de censure) dans les arts (politique culturelle), le développement, l'accessibilité et la vulgarisation de l'informatique pour la création musicale, l'industrie dominante du divertissement, l'académisme des institutions, le refus social de l'originalité au nom de l'intégration à l'uniformisation culturelle, la globalisation sur la tonalité du dollar depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale ou l'américanisation du monde, le développement de la pauvreté dans l'abondance, la scission entre la « musique contemporaine » et la « musique expérimentale », l'isolation de l'individu consommateur, etc. Toutes ces révolutions et ces conditionnements de vie changent les comportements de celles et ceux qui s'adaptent aux conditions différentes de travail et de ce qui est rendu possible ou pas au présent. Ce contexte a changé aussi l'activité du compositeur de musique. ... » Mathius Shadow-Sky

2010 analogue synthesizer solo performance with no video called ASSEEEEEEEEEZ at: http://soundcloud.com/myster-shadow-sky"
ASSEEEEEEEEEEEEZ (MonoPoly Myster Shadow-Sky's solo performance) by Myster Shadow-Sky "ASSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ is a live act given by Myster Shadow-Sky during his illness in November 2010 with a solo analogue synthesizer (the Korg MonoPoly). The music as "Imperfect Or Infected Life" created in 1999 is to be mixed with other music and sounds. An "incomplete music to mix with whatever for high powered dance". "Assez" in French means enough, illustrated in following published freebooks: http://centrebombe.org/livre/ASSEEEEEEZ.2010.pdf & http://centrebombe.org/livre/ASSEEEEEEZ.2011.pdf [in French]. Released by: centrebombe.org Release/catalogue number: # ObCD 54-10 - 65:15 Release date: Nov 25, 2010 "ASSEEEEEEEEEEEEZ (MonoPoly Myster Shadow-Sky's solo performance)" by Myster Shadow-Sky is licensed under a Creative Commons License"
"The Maestro Ring Modulator was the first commercially available stand alone ring mod. This unit is in fantastic cosmetic shape, and sounds great. Expression pedal inputs allow for sweepable foot control of the pitch and rate (roland ev 5 works fine with this unit)."
You can find some history on the Maestro Ring Modulator in this post.
Using an Echophon, Dr. Octature and Noisering to create a voltage-controlled feedback system similar to a no-input mixing channel.
Doc Oc is patched into the Echophon's external feedback loop. The Noisering's 1 and 2 outs are patched to the 1v/oct* and Q CV ins on the Octature. A high enough resonance will cause the filter to oscillate. The recirculating echos give the whole thing a nice ghostly quality.
This is a handy patch to have on hand if you ever find yourself having to do background music for a late night, Creature Feature type show on public access.

*Maths is acting as a slew limiter between Noisering out 1 and Doc Oc 1v/oct in.

"Made in the 1970s in England by Dubreq, who also made the Stylophone, it's an add-on sound expander for a piano or any type of keyboard instrument.
The system consists of a small amplifier with built-in tone generators, a swell / volume pedal, and two sensor bars that just sit on the keyboard of a piano or similar instrument. Nothing actually gets attached to the piano, gravity hold the sensors in place. When the piano key is struck, the sensor touching that key drops down and the tone generator is triggered.
It sounds a lot like a Farfisa organ, and the amp gets pretty loud but you probably can't gig with it. This is more of a curiosity than a real professional instrument, but it is very cool if you're into kitschy and funky keyboard gear"
