Vermona '14/Hildegard von Bingen: "O Quam Mirabilis Est"
Published on Feb 23, 2020 Kris Lennox
"Hildegard's wonderful 'O Quam Mirabilis Est', here performed on the Vermona '14. A while back I filmed the recording of this work, but the visual was, I felt, a distraction from the music. Hands-only and/or just an image, I feel, works better.
All Gregorian Chant works I've posted I've also scored. Medieval notation is very different from standard notation, and has to be studied as an independent subject. My plan is to release the sheet music in standard notation once the volume of works posted reaches an adequate number.
Best
Kris"

"Legendary expander much sought after created by the Fernandez brothers Ruben and Serge. There have been fewer than 800 hand made from '79 and this particular one is in superb condition. Kept in a smoke free studio its entire life anyone looking for something collectable and mint will appreciate this for years to come. Superb for electronic music and amazing for rip roaring bass sounds...the tone on these are immense!

"hi. this is just a quick demo i've made with my first programmed patches. everything except drums comes from Cheetah MS6. it's a great synth similar to Oberheim Matrix 1000 however more flexible thanks to 6 part multitimbral. i'll try to make some other demos to show you some more capabilities of this great and somewhat underrated babe. recorded on multitrack Roland VS-880 with some space echo emulation added plus my DIY spring reverb. then mastered on 1/4" tape Maxell UD. hope you'll enjoy it."

"Roland SH-1000 Synthesizer - Vintage Analogue Synth - Pristine cosmetic condition
Comes complete with original Roland music rest lead and UK plug, and original Roland instruction manual.
This has been in my family sibnce purchased around 1976. It was bought by my parents to accompany their Hammond home organ. It was never used as they found it complicated and so they purchased another synth: a Roland SH2000 ( see my other auction) which saw limited use.
As a result this synth is effectively new as it has been stored ever since first in my parents house and latterly in my house. I believe this must be an almost unique item in this condition after all these years"

This has been in my family sibnce purchased around 1976. It was bought by my parents to accompany their Hammond home organ. It has been used in my parents house only and never gigged or used by anyone outside of the family. They purchased it to replace a Roland SH-1000 which they found too complicated ( see my other auction for the SH-1000)
As a result this synth is in excellent condition with only some minor marks and wear visible on the master volume markings (see photo).
it has effectively been mothballed in my parents house since around 1987 and more latterly in my house until now. I really have no use for either synth and feel sure someone will be able get some great sounds and enjoyment out of it hence the reluctant sale"
