"Pennies from Heaven, a collaboration between Control and Bánh Mì Verlag, is a new series focused on contemporary experimental culture with an emphasis on the liminal and the underrepresented.
Andrew Lafkas's musical efforts are focused on the practice of contrabass and the development and participation in groups engaged with group intuition. He believes music to be a force of healing and change and work to embody this in ongoing practice.
Please note that seating is limited. After 7pm, reserved tickets may be distributed to standbys. Performance will promptly start at 7:15; once the performance begins no entry will be permitted. Do not be late. Suggested donation is on a sliding scale from $7 - $15."
The purpose of “TEST SERIES” is to focus on the sound design possibilities of various gear combinations. This series is not musical nor does it serve as an instructional video. It is all about sound potential.

Demo of the Wayne Joness SBC-1324 with the Roland G707 guitar and GR-300 guitar synth, and the Moog MP-201 Mulit-Pedal. The SBC-1324 is a converter with both 13 and 24 pin inputs, and 13 and 24 pin ouputs. The SBC-1324 was also featured here with a G-707 back in 2012. Below are some pics and info on its creation from joness.com.
"Back in 2009 I was approached by a very talented Canadian guitarist who wanted to be able to control both vintage Roland 24 pin GR-series synthesizers and modern Roland 13 pin GK-series synthesizers with one guitar, either a 13 or 24 pin guitar.
The SBC-1324 is the unit I built to meet this need. The unit has both 13 and 24 pin inputs, and a master analog switch to select between the two. There are six amplifiers for each string input, used primarily to boost the 13 pin signals to the 24 pin format, but they can also be used individually to amplify any single string input, whether 13 or 24 pin.
The unit also generates all the control voltages, plus hex fuzz, needed for the vintage Roland GR-series. For each control voltage, there is a switch to select from the signal coming from the guitar, or the internal control voltage.
In additional, there are control voltage inputs on the back for all four vintage control voltages, so that an external pedal, like the Moog MP-201, can be used as a control modulator. To top it off, an external control pedal can be used as the master control for each control voltage.
This was a one-off project, all hand-wired using perf boards and point-to-point wiring. To illustrate how to use the unit, I made several videos (shown below) that step through all the features."
"Here it is, the original Acid House machine! It is in mint condition as the pics show that the battery compartment is clean and with batteries installed it works. The unit will come with a current Roland power supply (not pictured) PSA-120."
"This is a vintage Korg PE-1000 (Polyphonic Ensemble) from the 70s.
All keys work, all functions work, and it is in good working order. There is some cosmetic wear as you'd imagine for a 40+ year old synth, but it is in overall very good condition.
It has a separate oscillator per key. Not common for a 70s polyphonic synth. It sounds richer since detuning between octaves is possible using the Pitch Expand knob.
There are seven preset sounds: String, Pipe Organ, Brass, Piano, Electric Piano, Harpsichord and Clavichord, plus an eighth preset "Control" which is a free synth mode with a selection of square or sawtooth waveforms.
This synth has been used by Beach House to get a lot of their distinctive string synth sounds. Really cool, unique sounds from this.
Note: This is the 100v Japanese model and will run fine on a 115/120v without a transformer, however if you intend to play for a long time having a step-down transformer is advisable."
"It has all blue & white LED's, custom black rubber sides, custom black back panel. This is unlike any Moog you will ever come across and it sounds just as beautiful as it looks. The mods were done with help from Moog directly, they were great at assisting me with sourcing spare parts and any info I needed to complete this project.
All LED's are blue except for the pitch bend and mod wheel which I have changed to white. I can't stress how badass this looks in person."
