Crumar Nerve Centre 15 - a new use

Published on Mar 4, 2013 organfairy·365 videos

"In the last video I made a small one-octave keyboard and before this I investigated an old drum machine. Now it's the time to put these two musical items together with something in between and make it into a small (maybe small-ish) auto-orchestra.

The music that plays during the construction phase is something I made several years ago on Yamaha HE-8 and Viscount RBX-850 organs and Roland JX-8P synthesizer."

MMTA Spring SYNTHFEST 2013 Event Details

MMTA SYNTHFEST on Facebook

Update: Mark Vail, author of Vintage Synthesizers and former Editor of Keyboard Magazine will be in attendance at the Mattson Mini Modular Booth. If you have a copy of his book, bring it in to get it signed. Also I added London Bridge Studios to the list.

As announced on February 7th, the MMTA Spring Synth Fest is coming to Shoreline Community College just north of Seattle on March 16th! You can find a map of the campus here (building 800). The event is completely free so if you are in the area, do drop by. It's a great chance to see gear you might not otherwise and a chance to sync up and converse with others that share your interests. Note you do not have to bring any gear to attend, so if you can only make an hour or two, drop by. The festival runs from 10AM - 5PM PST, but if you plan to bring gear you can start setting up at 8AM. There will be four rooms this year. The Petting Zoo Room will be where people can bring their gear and mingle. For those who attended previous events at the PNW Synth Gatherings at Renton Technical college, this is your room. Along with The Petting Zoo, there will be a Jam Session room where you can jam along with others, a Presentation room where dedicated lectures and performances will be given throughout the day (see the schedule below for some interesting talks lined up), and finally there will be a "Tradeshow Room" where manufactures will showcase their latest gear.
