Monster Mattson EML Modular to be Featured at the PNW Synthfest


Click the pic for the super size shot. See the Mattson EML label for more. Details on the Pacific Northwest Synthfest can be found on the MMTA (Mostly Modular Trade Association) website: http://www.mostlymodular.com/.

Note the two Mattson Mini Modulars stacked to the right of the EML. For those not familiar with George Mattson, he is the man behind Mattson Mini Modular, and previously the Performance Music Systems Syntar, the first self contained synthesizer keytar. The circuits were built by EML for Performance Music Systems. You can read about the Syntar here on Carbon111's site and in this interview from 2006 - there is a great pic of George and Bob Moog checking out the Syntar. And of course see the Syntar label for more. Many of the circuits George designed for the Syntar made their way into his current Mattson Mini Modular. Many of his new designs made it into his new custom EML modular. It's fascinating to see this come full circle in a sense, with EML to Syntar to MMM to the Mattson EML refurbishment project.

WDR Radio Program on Harald Bode October 8

This one in via John Levin:

"Here's the info which was forwarded to me by some of the people involved in producing the program:

'On 10/08/11 at 23.05 European time it´s finally Part two of the Harald Bode story: Westdeutscher Rundfunk 3 Cologne will present "Music Is My Field- Harald Bode: The Art of Engineering and Homestudio Music" It is about traces of his work in different musical styles from the thirties til the eighties, - from "Melodium" melodies to "BarberPolePhaser" sound. And it´s about his own music. If you go to http://www.wdr3.de/open-freiraum/aktuell.html and click "stream"(rechts in der Mitte), you will find the right player for your OS Or: Below stream you will find the "Radiorecorder" ("Stream" and "Radiorecorder" are provided by WDR 3. Sorry I can´t give any support. I recommend "radiorecorder" though for better sound quality.)

Here the announcement by the editor WDR 3 Markus Heuger:
"The story of the inventor of many electronic instruments, one of which was the inspiration for the first Moog Modulars, is also the story of the myth around Electronic sound. In the beginning it was mostly seen as a technological gimmick or miracle, or as a danger for culture itself. Electronic sound since has become an everyday´s part of our musical life. Harald Bode was admidst this evolution. He invented seventeen instruments between 1937 and 1984. You can hear them in academic music of the Fifties, as well as in Disco music of the 80ties. WDR 3 open: FreiRaum presents the witchkitchen of the inventor and "soundpractioner", who lived until 1987. He called his own music "commercial ". His studio and instruments he called "only means ". "What miraculous means!"

Here the announcement by the editor WDR 3 Markus Heuger:
This work was made possible through through support & help by: Peer Bode, Rebekkah Palov, Devin Henry, Andrew Deutsch, Chris McDaniel (Institute of Electronic Arts, Alfred University, Bode Archive/Alfred und Hornell/ USA), Silke Berdux (Deutsches Museum München), Dr Wilhelm Füssl und den Mitarbeitern des Archivs Deutsches Museum Jan Groth, Goethe Schiller Archive Weimar (Germany), Jan Groth, Frau Harting (Bundesarchiv / German State Archiv), Herrn Fritsche und Herrn Rieden (University Bonn), Leslie Bellavance (Dean at School of Art and Design, NYSCC at Alfred University, Alfred USA).
