Moog One fiddling with Marc Doty #TSR19

Published on Mar 27, 2019 Molten Music Technology

"I get hold of a Moog One polyphonic analogue synthesizer and grab synth guru Marc Doty to help me talk about it. It's more like two old fools talking about and fiddling with an awesome synthesizer. But it was also our first video at Thomann Synth Reaktor and we were still a bit boggled by it all."

WHERE'S THE MINIMOOG!?

Published on Mar 21, 2019 once upon a synth

"Look mum no computer jokingly challenged us to make a song using this footage, so I couldn't resist. This was some live stream footage from Thomann Synth Reactor. Thanks to Marc Doty for expressing his passion for the Minimoog and Simon the Magpie for the brief appearence. #TSR19"

Some synth humor for you today. :) We need some "WHERE'S THE MINIMOOG!?" Synth Ts.

Here's what Marc had to say about it:

"You know, if German beer companies really cared about visiting Americans, they would label their innocent-looking lager bottles with warnings in red letters that are big enough for old people to read that say "Easy there, tiger... there is more alcohol than you're used to in this." But they don't. So, plainly, we have German beer companies to thank for this outcome."

1. The Stylophone Gen X-1: The Theme from Toast of London

"Here is Matt Berry's 'Take My Hand,' otherwise known as the theme from Toast of London realized entirely via multitracking an analog Stylophone Gen X-1 over drums.

The Gen X-1 is a shockingly versatile Stylophone at the same time as being a delightfully fun analog synthesizer.

Of course, you should also check out Toast of London if you can view it on television, or on Netflix if you cannot. Not only is it sublime comedy, but Matt Berry's accompanying music is fantastic... and not just because it is often analog-synth-laden.
