AHNE 2015 - a terrifying room full of synthesizers and their insanely lucky owners

Published on May 17, 2015 hamsterdunce

"Another month of May, another annual Analog Heaven NorthEast (AHNE) gathering. This year it all went down at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, in the rotunda of the Genko Uchida Building. Most people don't even get to see this kind of stuff in person, let alone touch it. One attendee called it a 'Synth Petting Zoo.'

This video breezes around the entire room in an almost unfairly brief fashion. Around every turn there was yet another mind-burrowing megapile of cables and knobs waiting for a scientist with a 300 I.Q. to actually figure out how to use. One presented even had a brainwave interface.

Granted, on a music level, there was about as much soul in the room as a stale can of tuna fish, but this gear isn't about soul. It's about building a sonic robot army in your basement and terrorizing your neighbors at 3AM.

Vintage MOOG SYNTHESIZERS Belt Buckle

via this auction

"This Auction is for a genuine original and highly collectable Moog Synthesizer US belt buckle. It would date from most likely the late 1970's and was given to my father by a close friend of the late great pioneering founder Bob Moog. It is in very good condition for its age and after a polish would look great worn or kept as a collectable piece."
