West Coast Random Source 266c Dotcom Q107 modular loop

Published on Nov 20, 2014 alternatingbitmusic

"Still exploring the benefits of the WCRS 266c module.
Outside of the 266c CV outs, there's also a Sample & Hold module at play. Two oscillators and a Dotcom State Variable Filter produce the sound. Enjoy"

KiNK TR-8 / vinyl loop jam

Published on Nov 20, 2014 kink303

"here is a little jam with TR-8 and a vinyl loop. After it went viral on Facebook, I decided to upload it here as well. The useful thing in it is that you can hear the sound of a classic drummachine through an overdrive pedal, I used Pigtronix Bass Fat Drive. Bear in mind the lo-fi effect on the snares, it`s from the TR8 itself, a lo-fi filter / degrader in the Delay FX section. I hope you like it and find it useful."

An Interview with Andrew Rudin on Astronauta Pinguim

Read the full interview on Astronauta Pinguim

"In 1967 Nonesuch Records, a record company specialized in releasing inexpensive classical music records, became interested in having electronic music in their catalogue. First, they released Morton Subotnick's 'Silver Apples of the Moon,' Kenneth Gaburo's 'Music For Voices, Instruments & Electronic Sounds,' and Beaver & Krause's 'The Nonesuch Guide to Electronic Music,' and then, via a recommendation from Robert Moog, Nonesuch became aware of Andrew Rudin's electronic works and commissioned a full-LP composition. In 1968 'Tragoedia - A Composition in Four Movements for Electronic Music Synthesizer,' a piece composed between October 1967 and April 1968 was released, using instruments designed by Robert Moog. Some excerpts from 'Tragoedia' were used by Italian director Frederico Fellini in his 1969 film 'Satyricon.' Andrew Rudin realized a second work for film and synthesized sounds, 'Paideia,' and continued to compose for ensembles and dance companies."

Moog Modular System 55

Published on Nov 20, 2014 AudioCentralMagazine

"The mighty Moog Modular System 55 at Conservatorio di Musica Santa Cecilia in Rome was purchased under request of Maestro Franco Evangelisti (from "Gruppo d'Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza"); it was seldom used by Riccardo Bianchini in the Eighties and Giorgio Nottoli in the Nineties. Now, is it used for teaching the basic concepts of modular synthesis in the analog realm and for quick comparison with several virtual synthesizer, topics of study in my class of "Virtual Synthesis" at Biennio/Triennio of Composizione Applicata. This mighty machine, today (November, 20th, 2014) was moved in a new room, turned on again after the Summer, amplified with a vintage Pioneer Amp and a couple of big Tannoy Arden 15". This machine roars; this machine has a soul; this machine is probably one of the best synths in the word. Audio, sadly, straight from the small camera (with a lot of clacking from keyboard bushing and a lot of musical noise from the Conservatorio's classrooms; camera is shaking and rattling when the floor is shaking and rattling under the power of the dual Tannoy system. :-)"

Crumar Bit 99 rebadged as a Chase 99.  I don't believe I've ever seen or featured one of these on MATRIXSYNTH before. There's one reference in this synth interview with 808 state's Graham Massey, and another post featuring vintage Chase catalogs here, and that's it.  Interesting bit of synth history you do not see often.
