Close Encounters 50 minutes in.
"THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ARP 2600: Join the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation online Saturday, September 18th from 11am EST to 6:30pm EST for a virtual gala honoring the 50th anniversary of the mighty ARP 2600, streamed from The Record Co. in Boston, MA!
The ARP 2600 is one of the most influential synthesizers ever created and has been played by artists such as Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Edgar Winter, Joe Zawinul, and sound designer Ben Burtt (as the voice of R2D2). Recently brought back into production by Korg, the ARP 2600 is once again a beacon of unlimited possibilities for a whole new generation of musicians.
The event will stream live from The Record Co, a non-profit professional recording and rehearsal studio, and will feature a full day’s worth of clinics, performances, and other sonic fun using vintage and modern ARP synthesizers.
The ARPs For All project, a joint effort by The Record Co. and ARPf, enables anyone who rents studio or rehearsal time to use these incredible instruments at no additional cost."

ULVTHARM “Wrēkō” Album Teaser
video upload by ollilaboratories
"So, as some of you might or might not know I have several projects under my musical umbrella. This one is particularly important to me since it was incepted during a very dark period of my life.
As my moniker ulvtharm, I have never released a solo album.. all focus has always been on writing for mz.412. This one however took a lucky (or unlucky) turn into a musical piece that I now am ready to present to the world.
It might not be for everyone following me here on my channel, but please keep an open mind and dont run away.
Big thanks to Frederic at Cyclic Law, and to Axel for your art, my brothers in arms Nordvargr and Drakh for ritual support.
Also a shout out to Heikki Mastokangas for the epic footage in the album trailer shot in the darkest forests in Finland.
Yours truly, BURG a.k.a Ulvtharm

Release Date: October 31 2022
We’re honoured to present Ulvtharm’s first solo album. Long time collaborator of Nordvargr & Drakh in the legendary Swedish formation MZ.412, “Wrēkō” was incepted when Ulvtharm lived in Malaysia while remotely writing the “Svartmyrkr” album of MZ.412 in 2018. Since “Svartmyrkr” was written over such a long period of time and over a significant geographical distance, there were natural moments of inspiration that radiated away from the MZ.412 sound, moments captured during the ritual sessions. Listening back to some of the raw demos made at the time, it was obvious that some of the tracks did not line up with MZ.412 spiritually, and the idea for an Ulvtharm solo album was born.
Moving back to Sweden in November 2019, the creative process of dissecting and analyzing the demos started. When the pandemic hit, Jouni was thrown into a sleepless blackness for a long time, a mood that made him see the demos in a different light. This helped with re-composing and recording the missing parts, which were finalised in December 2020.
This album is a deep dive into the mind and psyche during a dark time; it's a revenge on the own self for not taking this creative step before, and a celebration of getting out at the tail end of the modern plague. He’s now letting the music and spirits free out into the world for everyone to see and hear. This is his darkness. This is his revenge. This is Wrēkō!

"Another classic string machine: the Crumar Performer. This one is version B with the very nice SSM2044 filter. It has Brass and Strings sections with attack and sustain on the strings, 3 bands EQ (think bandpass filtering), resonant filter, LFO assignable to pitch or filter, transpose switch etc Also has dedicated outputs for Brass and dry string sound along the main output. And a Gate in. Unit was serviced and is perfectly working. Condition is good, with some wears of course. It's quite compact and lightweight compared to others (77x35x19cm 12kilos)"

"It has been checked by a synth technician and what's missing are the KAS and SH cards. Couple of knobs, and legs. The unit powers on.
The incredible news are that 16musiclab from France have created PCBs and sell the cards for a small amount if you have a local technician or can install them yourself."
