Electric Independence: Ceephax Acid Crew

via motherboard.tv
"There’s no one quite like our mate Andy Jenkinson, aka Ceephax, aka Ceephax Acid Crew. He’s one of the last great D.I.Y masters working in electronic music and he’s a full-on modern day renaissance man, who still uses the same old school tools (remember Amigas? Me neither) to ply his many trades.

Primarily known for what he’s done for the “acid” genre, Ceephax also dips his toes into hip-hop, breakbeat Italo and even some ambient; always with his trusty Roland analog weapons by his side, creating an impressive and expansive output of material. It’s like a big psychedelic feast for your ears.

He got signed at his first-ever live show at the age of 17 and throws some of the most epic and outrageous parties/raves in the UK. We traveled to East London where he gave us a tour of his bedroom studio and shared some of the influences behind his 8-Bit sound, his curious predilection for ancient video games, arcade carpets and novelty knits.

"I learnt from user boobtube356 that the Buchla 292e could be made to self oscillate. This may be useful to create another voice or simply to create another kind of sound. So as I just got my 292e I decided to try it."

Deep Equinoxe Panel Milling

YouTube Uploaded by davidryle on Apr 11, 2011

"Using a Fadal 4020 Vertical Machining Center to engrave & drill a synthesizer panel for my modular synthesizer. The spindle runs at 8000 rpm and 48 inch per minute feed rate. The cutter is a 1/8" carbide center drill. The CAM program was FeatureCAM by Delcam. The whole operation was done in about 4 minutes. Three carbide drills were used for the pot, jack and switch holes.
The panel is for an Oakley Deep Equinoxe phase shifter module designed by Tony Allgood of Oakley Modular Systems.

I bought the blank painted panel from Synthesizers.com. It would be better to use an anodized panel for this as the paint tends to chip away while engraving. The depth of the engraving would be less too. I usually have to clamp the panel and adjust the flatness to within 0.002" prior to attempting an engraving like this. I only engrave about 0.003" deep but it looks deeper due to the paint."
