MOOG MINIMOOG analog synthesizer


via this auction

"The serial number is 4896, which would put it somewhere in the 1973-75 era (early-mid period). This particular unit has been upgraded with the "stabilized" oscillator card, and newer style (bumpy) pitch and mod wheels (the "mod" wheel looks like it was repaired at some point in the past, but is intact and works fine!) I believe this is a "version 4" Minimoog, originally (please check out the "Lords of the Mini" site, which can be seen here)..."

"My synth."

RIP Max Matthews


via Wikipedia:

"Max Vernon Mathews (November 13, 1926 - April 21, 2011) was a pioneer in the world of computer music.

He studied electrical engineering at the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, receiving a Sc.D. in 1954. Working at Bell Labs, Mathews wrote MUSIC, the first widely-used program for sound generation, in 1957. For the rest of the century, he continued as a leader in digital audio research, synthesis, and human-computer interaction as it pertains to music performance.

Although he was not the first to generate sound with a computer (an Australian CSIRAC computer played tunes as early as 1951),[1] Mathews fathered generations of digital music tools. He described his work in parental terms in this excerpt from "Horizons in Computer Music," March 8–9, 1997, Indiana University..."

First computer to sing - Daisy Bell

YouTube Uploaded by slavenr88 on Dec 9, 2008

"'Daisy Bell' was composed by Harry Dacre in 1892. In 1961, the IBM 7094 became the first computer to sing, singing the song Daisy Bell. Vocals were programmed by John Kelly and Carol Lockbaum and the accompaniment was programmed by Max Mathews. This performance was the inspiration for a similar scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do

I'm half crazy all for the love of you

It won't be a stylish marriage

I can't afford a carriage

But you'll look sweet upon the seat

Of a bicycle built for two."

Chad Vangaalen & Vice Battle Demons, Play DIY Instruments & Sing "Sara"



"Today on Practice Space: Chad Vangaalen & Vice Battle Demons, Play DIY Instruments & Sing "Sara

For your "this is awesome" radar. At long last, VBS embarks on another round of raiding our favorite bands' private sanctums and observing their music at its most intimate and rehearsal-y. This week's guest on the VBS show Practice Space is singer, musician, handyman, DIY instrument maker, artist, and all around good vibe guy Chad Vangaalen.

In this short and sweet video, shot by Spike Jonze, VBS heads into the gorgeous Canadian Rockies to hang out at Chad Vangaalen's backyard studio in Calgary. In a previous life the studio was a makeshift slaughterhouse and so after a heavy dose of "sage-ing" away the bad demons vibes, Chad takes us around his studio/work bench. Walking around we were mesmerized by his eclectic hand crafted instruments which look like they're straight out of a Dr. Seuss book.

Finally we end it with an endearing version of Sara, his new song that came out a few weeks ago. Watch Chad Vangaalen - Practice Space Season 2 | VBS.TV"
