Super cool! thanks for this
Glad to find it's of interest, really looking forward to watching it and looking through the book. I don't know anything about the equipment, so it's pretty fascinating. Not one to sleep on since it's 100 copies only. I'm thinking it will be great to project in the garden at our Beltane/May Day party.
I'd probably run a mile from any sort of guitar demonstration elpee but synth ones seem to work well. Have you heard (Ben Edwards who is in the brilliant Wrangler with Stephen Mallinder)
Benge 20 Systems?
Described by Brian Eno as "a brilliant contribution to the archaeology of electronic music", Twenty Systems is a truly impressive catalogue of innovations in synthesizer technology, chronologically ordered between 1968 and 1987. Each of the twenty pieces on the disc showcase the particular sonorities of a synthesizer, beginning with the Moog Modular and concluding with the Kawai K5M. This really is nerd heaven. As far as composition is concerned, Benge (aka Ben Edwards) has tried to leave his own personal voice out of the equation, permitting as much room for the machines to function as possible without the heavy intervention of a human hand. Excellent.
I stole this blurb from Boomkat where you can
buy the download, though one of the attractions of the hard copy is the great booklet.
I've been interested in reading your occasional posts on your growing synth expertise, I look forward to hearing any music you release.
