Blue Couch Dog: Realtime Percussion Jam By David Ronenstark aka DR2050

YouTube via dr2050productions
"Live on-the-spot improvisation using timpani, Java drum, and an FM8. Everything is controlled in realtime. I'm using a Zendrum LT, a Novation Zero SL with various pedals, and a plastic white 13" Macbook (with 4GB of RAM). On the software side, it's all Ableton LIve and various Native Instruments plugins, including two Battery 3 instances and two FM8 instances.

I'm trying to show some of the subtlety and breadth of both the Zendrum and the virtual super-instrument that I've created. The ideas fall apart too fast and I think I get into distorted noise a bit too much, but who knows. Anyway, download the adjusted MP3 at http://www.thesixtyone.com/dr2050 (it's Blue Couch Dog)."

Thompson Twins' Digital Marimba for Sale

"Digital Marimba, custom built by Premier for the Thompson Twins.

It was in dry storage for about 20 years - I have no idea whether the wire looms and the two midi boxes function or not."

ELKA RHAPSODY 490 VINTAGE STRING SYNTHESIZER

via this auction

"This a collectors gem from 1975. All it does is the classic 70s string sounds AND its polyphonic! If you remember the ARP string Ensemble this sounds very very close to that sound. Used on 1,000 of albums back in the day including Tangerine Dream... Comes with Elka hard case... There are only two setting buttons Cello/Violas and Strings. The Cello works fine however the strings DO work but the output is low."

Making KORG DS-10 sing a Daft Punk song

YouTube via Denkitribe
"You can make any analog modeling synthesizer sing with pseudo formant synthesis. Funny singing? I think it's like a speech synthesizer in 70's.

Thanks goes to Yonao for suggesting this idea."

Here are a few pics"

Update via Steve in the comments: "Check out this youtube video featuring the Alpha Syntauri (spelled there Alpha Centauri, like the constellation). The sound quality is somewhat muffled." Video below.


UFO from the PLEIADES Mark Murdock SOUNDTRACK
YouTube via musicproductionnotes
"Soundtrack by Mark Murdock for THE MEIRE CHRONICLES UFO documentary film featuring Apple 2 and Alpha Centauri [alphaSyntauri] Mountain Music- the first digital music software introduced in 1981 performed by Mark Murdock and assisted by Joe Berger on a very low budget" Update via Deadpan110 in the comments: "Quote: At the same time synthesizers were becoming less and less analog. Digital sequencers and digital keyboards were the norm, and digital oscillators offered better stability than the analog type. A microprocessor of the day could be programmed to produce 16 voices of somewhat limited tone colors, and this cold be build on a circuit board that would fit into a slot on an Apple II. These boards were mostly built by hobbyists, but commercial versions were sold by companies like Mountain Hardware. The Alpha Centauri was based on such a board and also included a piano style keyboard and sequencing software. Also: There must have been over a thousand hybrid systems built between 1978 and 1984. Most of these were home made. Found on: Short History of Computer Music - Part II."
