YouTube via bchfj. Anyone know what synths and vocoder she used for this track?
via Phoebe.
"Aside from making music, she is also credited with a couple of inventions: the tape bow violin, and the talking stick, which uses granular synthesis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurie_anderson#Inventions"

Theremin's cello meditation

YouTube via sidecars
"Engels Theremin Cello recreation set to an Indian drone. I didnt practice.... I Just improvised along to the drone. Really just something so you can see and hear something about this instrument."
BTW, the Theremin Cello made an appearance at this year's PNW Synth Gathering. You can see pictures of it here and some of the other sets posted here.

The medical effect of nukes

YouTube via sidecars.
"1950's film on what not to fear about nukes. New soundtrack using malletkat, tbk1 from h-pi.com and pc2r. The TBK-1 allows reassignment of notes and pitches. I had the settings "wrong", but it gave the film the warbly soundtrack of a broken film from the 50s. Cool device. I also used a continuum from Haken feeding a v-synth xt."

Roland GR-700 Guitar Synth

YouTube via Analogger.
"I've been meaning to do this for awhile. I scrolled thru some of the factory presets. I'm not really a guitar player but I got the GR-700 to do ambient textures and fat pads, etc. The GR-700 has the same synth engine as the JX-3P but has a more "organic" sound because each string can send pitch bend so you can get a really nice slight de-tuning. Two digitally controlled oscillators per string and a fat 24db analog filter. I used the G-707 guitar controller. The only effect was some dealy from an Alesis Quadraverb."

ARP Odyssey

images via this auction.

"Produced between 1974-76. The Odysseys I and II look and feel virtually the same. The main difference between them are the addition of CV/Gate control and a new black and gold color scheme. The 2810 introduced a beefier 4-pole VCF. This filter was similar to the Moog filter and did not last. While a persistent rumor that Moog sued ARP over this, no suit ever occurred. Arp and Moog came to an amicable agreement and a small licensing fee was paid by ARP for units previously manufactured. ARP soon after designed their own four-pole, low-pass filters. They came up with the 4075 filter which was used in subsequent Odyssey models. The similar 4072 was featured in the 2600, Omni, Axxe, Solus, and others. visit arpodyssey.com or vintagesynth.com for more details."

ARP Little Brother

images via this auction.

"The ARP Little Brother, produced from 1975 to 1977, is a keyboardless monophonic expander module, used with another ARP synthesizer. It has a single oscillator and LFO, controlled using other ARP synths to "fatten up" their sounds. It was commonly sold with the Axxe model, however could be used with any of ARP's synthesizers."
