Eyck & Tarnow - "10,000 Bells" / Improvisations for Theremin & Piano

via Moog Music

"German-born musician/composer Carolina Eyck is one of the world's foremost theremin virtuosi. She literally wrote the book on playing the instrument. For her American recording debut, Improvisations for Theremin and Piano, Carolina and her collaborators at Butterscotch Records conceived a project that would capture the musical intuition between Eyck and pianist Christopher Tarnow in a wholly improvisational, candid and unedited recording.

Today, Moog Music is proud to premiere the first video from Improvisations, 10,000 Bells, which showcases a moment or pure creation from Carolina Eyck's Moog Etherwave Pro and Christopher Tarnow's piano"

via this auction

I don't think Raggedy Ann comes with the listing.  She looks happy though.

"This auction is for an ARP Odyssey model 2800 in very good condition that has been recently restored to ARP factory specs by Phil Cirocco at CMS / Discrete Synthesizers. It features the Lumina slider upgrade (special 4 color edition), just in time to brighten up the under-tree display on Christmas morning! Here is the complete List: Lumina Slider Upgrade - special 4 color edition – see photos 34 high quality illuminated slide pots. The main focus of this upgrade is to install high quality sliders in an ARP Odyssey. The Odyssey and Avatar have similar circuitry to the 2600, however they used cheap, unreliable, plastic on plastic sliders. These brand new, high quality sliders from CMS feature a superior tactile feel and greatly improved accuracy. It basically transforms an unreliable old doorstop into a precision instrument, on par with the ARP 2600 and ARP 2500. The difference in reliability and accuracy is astonishing! The upgrade also features a blinking LFO slider indicating the LFO rate. The ADSR and AR sliders now feature dynamic LED readout of the envelope generator voltage levels. All Keyboard rubber bushings replaced with new and keyboard detailing. All key contacts cleaned and adjusted. Power supply rebuilt to factory. Separate power supply for slider LEDs. Audio Path Upgrade. Highpass filter bypass switch – Adds sub-bass to the output signal. LFO free run switch. ADSR time range switch – 3 position toggle features extra long time mode.

Vintage ARP ODYSSEY 2810 MKII 4035 SN 0392 with Moog Filter

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

via the seller: "Vintage ARP 2810 Odyssey MKII with 4035 "moog" filter and factory CV and audio jacks. 4035 filter. This is one of the earliest odyssey II synthesizers. This is truly rare. As-far-as collectable synthesizers go this is one of the big ones. It was produced in a time when ARP was changing the design of the odyssey rapidly. It is an early enough MKII model to have the 4035 filter but late enough to have factory CV jacks. I believe there to be only a few made in this configuration.

Odyssey 2810 mkii A-II B-I and C-I with 4035 filter module

The condition on this synthesizer is very good. It has a few minor cosmetic blemishes as is normal on a vintage insturment. Great vintage instrument ready for any serious collection.

This item has undergone a recent full restoration. This is an amazing example of how good a vintage odyssey can be when given the proper service treatment. This synthesizer scales and plays beautifully and is a really strong runner. It was given the full service treatment including: cleaning and rebuilding all sliders, the keyboard has been cleaned and re-bushed, the vintage power supply was rebuilt to original specification using the vintage PCB and Transformer. Some of the capacitors that are known to fail have been replaced along with a couple other preventive maintenance tasks. This keyboard is a masterpiece. Also, the LFO free run option was added to the noise select switch. When that switch is up (on white noise) the lfo will not retrigger with every key press. This nondestructive modification can be reversed. I'm happy to answer any and all questions about the service this odyssey has received.

The filter module is all original. It sounds great. Lots of character with that classic liquid transistor ladder filtered sound.

This item is warrantied. All work on this odyssey is covered for one year from date of purchase. This warranty doesn't cover work done by anyone else or any shipping cost to return the synthesizer for warranty service."
