Sequential Artist Spotlight Interview with MORGAN GUERIN

You can find the interview on Sequential's website here.

"New York City-based multi-instrumentalist Morgan Guerin has achieved much in his young, burgeoning career, from composition to significant stages. A talented producer and engineer, Guerin is skilled in several instruments including bass, saxophones, electronic wind instrument (EWI), drums, and keys. Notable collaborators include drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, (bass, sax, and EWI), bassist Esperanza Spalding (bass, sax, and Prophet Rev2), and multi-instrumentalist Tyshawn Sorey (tenor and soprano sax, and EWI).

Dubbed a “wunderkind saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist” by The New York Times, Guerin was born into a musical family with a pianist mother and bassist father. Later, he went on to study music at the prestigious Berklee College of Music and The New School. In 2016, the Huffington Post named his debut album, The Saga, one of the best Jazz albums of the year, and Stereogum named the LP one of its favorites in August that same summer. He was also a songwriter on and co-producer of Esperanza Spalding’s 2019 Grammy-winning record, 12 Little Spells. His third album, The Saga III, will be out on September 18th, 2020.

We chatted with Morgan on how he uses Sequential instruments in his music"

Synthesizer Evolution: From Analogue to Digital (and Back) by Oli Freke

New synth book coming from Oli Freke, who brought us the SYNTH EVOLUTION posters.

The book is currently available for pre-order here.

The book features:

• Over 500 hand-drawn illustrations of vintage synthesizers, drum-machines, samplers and pre-modern electric instruments.

• A reference book for every synthesizer, drum-machine and sampler manufactured between 1963 and 1995 with key stats, fascinatingly quirky facts and company profiles.

• Destined to be the new ‘bible’ of synthesizer information, following in the footsteps of the classic ‘KeyFax’ series by Julian Colbeck.

• Tells the story and impact of the synthesizer on all forms of modern music and culture with geek appeal for the music fan and synth fan alike.

From acid-house to prog-rock, there is no form of modern popular music that hasn’t been propelled forwards by the synthesizer. As a result they have long been objects of fascination, desire and reverence for keyboard players, music producers and fans of electronic music alike. Whether looking at an imposing modular system or posing with a DX7 on Top of the Pops, the synth has also always had an undeniable physical presence.

This book celebrates their impact on music and culture by providing a comprehensive and meticulously researched directory of every major synthesizer, drum machine and sampler made between 1963 and 1995. Each instrument is illustrated by hand, and shown alongside its vital statistics and some fascinatingly quirky facts. In tracing the evolution of the analogue synthesizer from its invention in the early 1960s to the digital revolution of the 1980s right up until the point that analogue circuits could be modelled using software in the mid-1990’s, the book tells the story of analogue to digital - and back again.
