Synth Wizards Episode 8: The Elusive DX1

Premiered Sep 2, 2019 Syntaur

Syntaur on Reverb

"The Wizards were challenged to find an ultra-rare synthesizer for a client who has been on the search for one for decades. It took a year, and a cross-country adventure - and in the end (spoiler alert!), everyone was smiling."

DX1 demo mixtape


"These tracks were recorded direct from the DX1 with no external processing or effects, and Sam is playing along live to a drum loop from the Ensoniq ASR-X. These grooves were just off-the-cuff improvisations, and we didn't worry about fixing any bad notes, sloppy timings, etc."

Supporting MATRIXSYNTH Member BoBeats will be coming to SOUNDMIT 2019, a major synth event of the year held in Turin, Italy, November 2nd & 3rd. The event is on the scale of the SUPERBOOTH, and Knobcon (set for this weekend). Think NAMM or the Musikmesse, but focused on synths.

"The Swedish influencer BoBeats arrives at Soundmit 2019 to discover all the musical instruments produced in Italy.

We learned about Bo from his videos and social media channels where he publishes reviews, opinions, and tutorials on the world of synths and musical instruments. With a following of over 50k followers on Youtube and with videos exceeding hundreds of thousands of views, it has become a reference point among fans and manufacturers of synthesizers and electronic musical instruments. Bo will be at the Soundmit on November 2nd and 3rd 2019 to meet the exhibitors, get to know our audience and make a series of videos that will be published on his channels. Get to know BoBeats at the Soundmit!"

Amanda Solo Performance at Center for New Music (Compton's Cafeteria Series)

Published on Sep 4, 2019 CatSynth TV

New performance from supporting site member, Amanda Chaudhary of www.catsynth.com!

"Amanda Chaudhary's full solo performance from the Compton's Cafeteria Series show at the Center for New Music in San Francisco. She performed two extended pieces: White Wine (solo version) and Donershtik, using Arturia MiniBrute and MicroFreak, Nord Stage EX, Novation controller, MOK Waverazor, Strymon Magneto, and more.

To see excerpts from all three sets please check out our previous video: [below]
For more new and adventurous electronic music, please subscribe to this channel and visit www.catsynth.com.

_________
Amanda Chaudhary’s live performances bring theatricality and flare to the sometimes staid world of experimental electronics. She combines sophisticated modular synthesizers and software, with conventional instruments and even toys and DIY electronics for a unique experience that moves effortlessly between experimental noise, jazz and funk, ambient abstract landscapes, and more. She has been performing solo and with various groups in the Bay Area, New York, and beyond for many years and is deliberately difficult to pin down to a particular style or practice, except to say that her work is always fun to experience. Amanda is also the founder of CatSynth.com and CatSynth TV, which covers music, synthesizers, art, and culture through the prism of a love for cats. The feline sometimes works its way back into her music."
