Voyager+M5 Vergleich

A comparison of the MOOG Voyager and MacBeth M5.

"The Analogy sampler CDs are compilations of tracks sent in by various artists with music made with analog electronic music instruments only. Use of any digital instruments, such as samplers and digital synthesizers are not allowed. Because of the succes of both volumes 1 and 2, it was a logical step for Groove Unlimited to continue the series with Analogy Volume 3."

The track Probe One (original version here), by Studio 35D features only the Pro-One according to My Synthesis Technology.

Spot the synths.

Update via the comments:
"This is David Morley's studio (he has also produced stuff with Andrea Parker). He uses the ARP 2600 on just about everything, and it sounds wonderful. He also has a nice collection of reverbs (couple real EMT plates, Roland R-8, etc) that he really knows how to use.

His new CD is one of my favorite electronic releases of the year. The sounds and moods he creates are very inspiring. Very much worth picking up, I think you have to order it directly from him.

Bingoboys Studio for Sale

This one in via burnie:
"the studio in the first district of vienna of the producer collective bingo boys is for sale or rent now. as far as i know they had some massive chart success in europe with lets say kind of commercial productions, and with their single "show me how to dance" i think they even reached us top 5. also georg luksch and peter rauhofer did remix jobs for madonna and got an emmy for this...

but maybe more interesting for you and other synthheadz, there was a nice feature of georg lukschs gear and him talking about the difference of touching real gear or doing it virtually , like making an instant soup or do real cooking, on the dvd of in the german magazine sound&recording (formerly "keyboards"), issue 4/2007 [unfortunately the article is not available online, just an abstract] also hes showing his huge gear park, including mostly all improtant synthesizers of the last two and a half decades, even switching on the emulator 2 and the fairlight... today i came across the website of the studio, and that it is going to be sold or rented."

Note the Achtung! at the bottom of the page states that the equipment is not for sale by itself.

"This works for either a yellow Q or an XTk, which I have personally verified. Other Q's are probably similar, though not identical. Keep track of the screws - there are seemingly millions of them."

SYNTH GOD

"SYNTH GOD is a feature-length documentary film project that explores the world of synthesizers and electronic music.

Developed over fifty years ago, the synthesizer is essentially an electronic sound generator that can produce an infinite spectrum of sound colors. This one seminal idea – in its many incarnations and applications – has shaped modern music and culture and profoundly altered our contemporary soundscape.

SYNTH GOD is a search for the influence and power of the synthesizer in our everyday sound environment. The concept is not simply a contest of musicians or keyboardists. The gods of synth can manifest in the minds of artists, inventors, performers, composers and sound designers as well as inside transistors, vacuum tubes, lines of computer code, ringtones and video games.

Comprised of interviews, live concert footage, archive clips, animation, behind-the-scenes tours of small indie workshops and giant synthesizer factories, SYNTH GOD is set to film in the U.S., Japan and Europe under the direction of Hans Fjellestad, whose past films include MOOG (2004)."

Kelly Osbourne Has a Synth Tatoo?

Synth Babe tag for both Kelly and Perez. BTW, how many of you know who Perez is? Just curious. My wife is addicted to his blog and I've been known to look. Never thought I'd get a post from it though.

Update: I swore I saw this one before. Turns out I did on Music Thing. Link. But it was just the close-up of the arm back then.
