Title link takes you there. Ran into this site via Loscha the founder of the group.

Anyone know what the blue boxes are? I'm guessing analog Russian guitar synths.


A better picture of the soviet guitar synth via the comments (funny, I put this up here as well). It's the Formanta Lider-2.

10,000 Gallon Hat


YouTube by bigtex. Caption: "This is a video I made for the track 10,000 Gallon Hat. The track is from my Big Tex album Authentic Songs of the Old West, released in 2002 on the Crunch Pod label. The album is available from crunchpod.com, iTunes, Amazon, etc."

via bigtex:
"Even though you can see an Octave Kitten in the video, the music was made entirely with just three things: a Casio Rapman, a delay pedal, and a distortion pedal. I modified the Rapman to have an adjustable internal feedback, using one of the onboard capacitors as a lowpass filter. It really makes the normally wimpy "bass" drum on the Rapman kick! That feedback, coupled with the Rapman's built-in audio input (also in a feedback loop) made for some interesting pseudo-melodic elements. I was rather impressed by how much I could do with such simple ingredients.

I made the music back in 2002 and didn't get the Kitten until late last year, so music featuring the Kitten will be on my next album. The video is just me messing around with various things found in my studio that day, plus a little bit of walking around downtown San Francisco.

So enjoy... or don't. But you've got to admin, the Kitten just looks cool!

Indeed. Cool video.
