Atomic Shadow: Metal Machine Monster
Metal Machine Monster from Atomic Shadow on Vimeo.
"This piece started out with a Halloween theme and slowly morphed in to a tribute to the late Lou Reed's groundbreaking album Metal Machine Music. The album was maligned by fans and critics when it was released, but has since come to be considered the foundation of drone music.
In the course of making this video my Moog Theremin packed up and stopped working just before recording. This required a reworking of the set up with the Kaoss 2 pad standing in for the MIA Theremin. There is a Dave Smith MEK just off camera providing a drone bass. Also featured are the EMW 200, Kaoss Quad, Eico signal generator and various effects pedals. The off camera modular system is providing the moaning sound courtesy of the Phonogene module from make Noise/Voltergeist.
The video was shot with an iPad that also decided to act up and I was unable to export the video to my Mac. I ended up shooting the screen of the iPad with another camera on a tripod, thus making the low quality, grainy film look even 'arty-er'."

"Twenty third visit to the garden. Composed for Virus TI and Little Phatty.
Music, land art and film by Marc-Henri Arfeux."
"Virus Ti, except a small part with the Little Phatty from 6:47 to 8:15; it gradually appears under the Virus TI waves, and develops into a solo until 13:27 where the Virus TI comes back alone."

via the seller: "Two years ago I had my Prophet T8 serviced by the knowledgeable folks at Wine Country, the defacto authorities beyond Mr. Dave Smith on Sequential Circuits gear. After spending about a grand on my synth, they told me my T8 was one of the best physical condition synth (T8) they had ever worked on or seen. I've got pics to draw your own conclusions from; send request and I will provide. This Prophet synth is the best of the Prophet series, with weighted keys, velocity sensing provided per solid state switching that provides a wider dynamic range in velocity sensitivity, with release time controlled by the velocity with which the key is released. This was revolutionary technology back in the day my friends. After touch can be used to control the frequency of Oscillators A and B, pulse width of OSC A and B, as well as filter, amplifier, LFO, and LFO Frequency. It includes an onboard sequencer, is eight voice with 16 oscillators assignable in four modes: Single Mode with all eight voices across all six octaves, Double Model which blends two different programs into each of four voices, Split Mode divides the keyboard and allocates four voices to each side of a programmable split point; and UNISON Mode which combines up to eight voices on one note.... 76 keys with midi. The Prophet T8 is the the heaviest beast full of filters and analogue goodness ever made by SCI. This synth plays, looks, and sounds immaculate; auction price begins at $5500 NOTE::: As this synth is listed for sale locally, I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time; Ive allready had inquiries and offer, first come first jam out to the maximum.... BTW, I had a nice fellow advise me that shipping post was in error; and he was right. The shipping is the buyers responsibility, and will be added to your bid. Ive shipped synths for years without any problems, but given this synths weight ( about 70 pounds boxed up ), I believe you should budget at least a couple of hundred bucks for shipment. Blessings and best regards; and thanks to my friend for the heads up. .."

Moog Featured in Popular Mechanics 101 Gadgets that Changed the World
The Moog Synthesizer comes in at number 60: "Robert Moog debuted his synthesizer, which used analog circuits to generate sound electronically, at the Audio Engineering Society Convention of 1964, but the $15,000 instrument was slow to catch on among musicians. It was only in 1967, after Moog's West coast sales team, comprised of electronic music enthusiasts Paul Beaver and Bernie Krause, demonstrated it at the Monterey Pop Festival that the innovative keyboard became a must-have for the biggest names in rock-and-roll. Without it, the Doors' Strange Days, Simon & Garfunkel's Bookends and the Beatles' Abbey Road would have sounded much different."
