The Whole bloody choir by Ununseptium warehouse

"Just having a mess around in the studio with a recently acquired Strymon BigSky. I wondered what it might sound like with a bunch of things going through a choral setting together. This is a Roland SH-3a, a Korg MS20-mini, a Roland Juno 6, a Vermona Piano-Strings and a Hohner Pianet T all being subjected to the choral treatment. Meanwhile a Roland TR-626 is going through a Korg Monotron Delay. It was recorded via the stereo line-in of a Zoom H1."

Vintage 1973 MiniMoog Model D SN 4059 with Original 41 Year Old Box!

via this auction

Think about that for a bit. The original box from 1973!! That's 41 years old!  Might actually be 42 years old.  You can see the Williamsville address on it in the image below.  Unfortunately this mini does need some work.

"Original Vintage 1973 MiniMoog Model D analog synthesizer. Manufactured by Moog Music, Inc. Williamsville, NY.

Serial number 4059. Inspection tag is still on the unit! Everything is original! No glued parts, no after market parts, original finish on wood (never sanded).

Includes original Operation Manual plus Original All Schematics.
Date of manual is 4/13/72.

Also comes with the original box!

Needs restoration/ repair/ adjustment. Excellent cosmetic condition for being 40 years old!

Oscillator-2 is intermittent for sound. There are 3 uneven height white keys (lower F, middle C and the last E)

Trigger switch is included in original envelope.

All keys work except 1 black key (F sharp). Sometimes when pressing the keys they can lose their pitch- needs adjustment. The front Moog logo is missing.

The leg that props up the control panel in playing position is perfectly functional.

Has a functional switch for US 115 or foreign 230 volt operation. I am the proud original owner of this beautiful antique!"

Time for a Little Stretch...

You might notice the site looks a little bit different.  No need to adjust your screen.  You are now entering the MATRIXSYNTH ZONE...

The site was beginning to feel a bit narrow and compressed so I stretched it out a bit. No other changes were made, so those adverse to change (myself somewhat included), you will find everything where it is as usual.  I hope you like it.  If not, I hope it grows on you.  :)  It should make viewing videos, pics and everything for that matter better.  Note old videos and image embeds will not resize as they are fixed size - it's what YouTube provides and how Blogger uploads pics, so unless I go and update the previous 106397 posts it's not going to happen.   So... it's not going to happen. Vimeo embeds appear to play nice and resize, so that's good.  Minor tweaks to the site template may follow.

Don Buchla Interview on San Fransisco Classical Voice

"Buchla began infusing new ideas into music not long after he graduated with a degree in physics from UC Berkeley in 1960. He found like minds close by at the San Francisco Tape Music Center, founded in the early 1960s by composers Morton Subotnick and Ramon Sender, with input from Pauline Oliveros. “I was borrowing the Center’s three-track tape recorder,” Buchla recalls. “I only had a one-track Wollensak, and I wanted to do mixes. They were working with electronic music, but they weren’t using any instruments. And I proposed making an instrument for music, specifically, and not just an adaptation of a laboratory instrument. I talked with Mort, he liked the idea, and they helped me design a system.”

The result, dubbed the Buchla 100 series, began selling in 1966, and Subotnick made use of it on his Silver Apples of the Moon in 1967, the first electronic work commissioned by a record company (Nonesuch). Buchla found himself in competition, of sorts, with Robert Moog, a New York-based Ph.D. who’d hooked a synthesizer up to a keyboard in 1964, and had attracted major attention after his invention was showcased on Wendy/Walter Carlos’s popular Switched-On Bach LP (Columbia, 1968)."
