MMM Complete


The final four modules for my Mattson Mini Modular arrived today. This is production prototype #1. You can see what it originally looked like, shy the four final modules, in this post. I was a little reluctant in adding the last four modules for nostalgia's sake, but I can always take them out when I get a new cab. :) That and I really needed the two extra 4x2 buffers, CV mixer and Utility 1. I also think it looks, really, really nice full. It looks complete and marks a milestone for me. These images really don't do it justice. I need an SLR and better lighting. Sometime this year... Anyway, thank you George!

BTW, don't miss the last page in this month's Keyboard magazine. It's a full page on Billy Corgan's Ichabod. If you don't know what Ichabod is, click on this Ichabod label link and scroll for tons of posts.

And remember, you don't need to build a full modular system if/when you want to get started - see this post on why.

"South Park" meets Perrey & Countryman!

via Dana Countryman on Facebook

"Our song "Chicken on the Rocks" is used on an episode of "South Park"!
What is the world coming to???

Hey all,
The Comedy Central TV show "South Park" may be pretty crass and tasteless to some (including me), but they did have the good taste to use about 30 seconds from my 2006 track, "Chicken on the Rocks," recorded with my pal, Jean-Jacques Perrey.

The episode was officially first aired on March 31st, 2010, and is now archived here:

http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/267110

Our song is behind dialogue between 13:35 and 13:58.

WARNING! The subject matter is not for kids, or my dad - the retired Baptist minister!

The show has never been one of my personal favorites, but I seem to like it a whole lot better when they're paying a nice chunk of cash to use a song of ours!

That's a combo of my my synthesizer playing and Jean-Jacques' Ondioline on the track, recorded here in my studio in 2006!
