via Billboard where you'll find the full article:

"Composer, conductor and electronic music pioneer Gershon Kingsley, who wrote the top 10 hit “Popcorn” and played a pivotal role in popularizing the synthesizer sound, died Dec. 10 in New York. He was 97.

The Emmy Award-winning composer recorded 'Popcorn' in 1969, but it was a remake by Hot Butter that reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972, and No. 1 in at least six other countries. In 2005, Crazy Frog released its version, with the song again going to No. 1 in a number of countries. In 2018, Kingsley released a yellow vinyl 12” of his trademark song for Record Store Day.

Kingsley, who also composed 'Baroque Hoedown,' the theme song for Disney parks’ Main Street Electrical Parade, was born in Germany in 1922. He came to New York in 1946 and then attended the LA Conservatory of Music..."

You can find previous posts featuring Gershon Kingsley here. One of my favorites growing up in Los Angeles and going to Disneyland as a kid (as well as an adult during NAMM :), was Baroque Hoedown with Jean-Jacques Perrey.

Thank you for the memories Gershon Kingsley, they literally lasted a lifetime. You made the world a better place for so many.

Saturday Night Sylvester (with Patrick Cowley!) - And an EML 101

Published on Aug 23, 2019 Are Sounds Electrik?

"From 1978! Nice to see Patrick Cowley in this. He shied away from music promo videos preferring instead to appear when the band appeared. Wikepedia: Saturday is the day of the week between Friday and Sunday lol"

Great find in via M Me.

"MAM MB33II analog bass synth. It's a German made TB-303 clone, which means it's circuit path was reverse engineered from the Roland TB-303. It's audio circuit is %100 analog but along with accepting MIDI notes it also transmits and accepts MIDI CC's from it's cutoff, resonance, env. mod, accent, decay and distortion controls. That means that these parameters can be controlled via envelopes in Ableton live so you can sequence multiple knob movements making the tweaking possibilities endless. The unit has been tested and is fully functional. Comes with power supply, manual and original paperwork."

Synthesis Technology E520 *prototype* // Tape style SOS loops, spectral weirdness, new FX + more!

Premiered Dec 12, 2019 DivKidVideo

Note the Kickstarter campaign ends tomorrow, Sunday, Dec 15.

"Here’s the second video with the already lovely sounding E520 big exposed prototype from Synthesis Technology. This will be a Eurorack module for it’s release next year but this is just the development prototype. In this video we explore some other FX, some updates to things we’ve already seen and bathe in not only a lovely shimmer bath … but some gorgeous tape style degradation loops that deteriorate with feedback, warble, saturation and filtering like real tape based sound on sound looping. Heck, I even broke out the Telecaster for a change. Skip around, any questions just ask, if you go back this be sure to get your ideas heard and give feedback to shape the product on Kickstarter and as always I’ll see you next time. Ba-bye.
