"B2Art and EARS (The Analog Lab) present KiNo block
Poet of Sound and Image KiNo in Exhibition and Live Performance
New Vague: Invasion from Within
June 3 - 29, 2011
Featuring performance version installation of the world's largest synthesizer, TONTO
and two-dimensional works by artists Bill Alpert, Bartus Bartolomes, Scott Alger, Astolfo Funes and Marjan Denkov.
New York, NY - Poet of Sound and Image KiNo will unleash a programme of sonic and visual ephemera in line with his psychedelic live musical performances for the month of June at the World Monuments Fund Gallery (15 East 27th Street.) The landscape will be punctuated by two-dimensional works from artists Bill Alpert, Bartus Bartolomes, Scott Alger, Astolfo Funes and Marjan Denkov.
KiNo uses images, sounds and words to comment on the fundamental aspects of human beings and their behavior. With unwavering intimations of conscience, his work strives to stimulate the emotional intelligence of his audience. During his 27 day residency, KiNo will present a universe of sound, film, and live installation.
"Sonic wizard" Jeff Blenkinsopp (Pink Floyd, Vangelis, The Secret Machines) invented an analogue processing device especially for KiNo known as the KiNo Live Rig. This one of a kind machine will join forces with the world's largest synthesizer, T.O.N.T.O. (The Original New Timbral Orchestra). Created by Malcolm Cecil (credited for electrifying Stevie Wonder), the performance version of TONTO will be installed at the gallery. For video footage of TONTO, click here. [embed below]

"I sold the quad lfo and decided to combine my Synthesizers.com Q110 & Q117 into the yusynth panel instead of building the kit. I used a little bit of my wife’s nail polish remover to adjust the panel and had to get rid of the manual gate on the Q117 and the output volume on the Q110(used a jumper to set it to full). Other than that I am quite happy with the outcome."
