MATRIXSYNTH Visits Thighpaulsandra's Aeriel Studios

Click here for images of my recent visit to Thighpaulsandra's Aeriel Studios.

I want to thank both Thighpaulsandra and Peter Forrest for the great company. You can find more info on Thighpaulsandra on his official website (check out his discography) as well as his MySpace page. He recently performed in Analog Live! Peter Forrest is the author of the A-Z of Analog Synthesizers as well as the man behind the auction site Vemia (Spheremusic.co.uk). You might remember Vemia from these posts.

Over the next few days I will be putting up some videos of the visit. Mostly synth talk of us or rather Peter and Thighpaulsandra noodling around while I taped. Nothing too elaborate, but it should bring you into the visit. I created an Ariel Studios label below for this set of posts so once they are all up you can go back and review them all at once if you like.

On the synth front we have:
Two Synton Fenix Modulars
Two ARP 2600s
Two Oberheim SEMs with patch points
A Red Synton Syrinx
EMS Synthi and Putney
Two Serge Modulars (one old and one new)
Plan B, Cynthia, Doepfer Modular
Moog Voyager
Roland SH-5
Sequential Circuits Prophet-10 and Prophet-5
and more...

"Music Week kicks off! Day 1! Korg DS-10 was just released in Japan, and is a Korg synthesizer emulator for Nintendo DS. It is entirely in English, not that there is a lot to read. Pretty cool application, watch out for songs being uploaded in the future from me :)"

Vintage Synthesizer Modules

images via this auction
"This is a kit project from an electronics magazine in the 70's. The article was written by Don Lancaster, and the components were supplied by SouthWest Technical Products (SWTP). The modules have been professionally assembled, and are complete. What needs to be added is a power supply and a keyboard. This should appeal to those who are electronically inclined, and have an appreciation for 70's analog synth technologies and their sound. What remains to be done is quite simple, and straightforward. A copy of the article with instructions is included."
