“My cat Missy getting some zeds Nord style ”

Submitted by Paul North.

It looks like Lenny is perched on a Roland D50.

I still use samples of the D50 partial set in some of my music, including the multichannel piece I will be doing this month at the Luggage Store Gallery.

“CatSynth diabolicos.. — with korg X50, cat.korg and Madre.cat”

First of two videos submitted by vlern via facebook. It looks like he has a new kitten, Stella. Looks like she’s a bit wary of the Monotron, though.

From SuperRoss007 on YouTube, via matrixsynth:

Warning: the sound from this circuit-bent device is quite loud and high-pitched. But the cat seems quite nonchalant about the whole thing, casually cleaning herself/himself during the performance.

Luna is a bit like that as well when I fire up even the more esoteric musical gear.

The latest in the “My Cat is a Synthesizer” series featuring Clyde:

Originally from this auction, via matrixsynth, where you can see additional pictures.

The description from the auction (below), is worth a quick read.

“Firstly, this is NOT a synthesiser. It’s a machine for travelling through time and space – sideways. Transport yourself to the far flung corners of the universe and beyond. For some of you, it may be a one way ticket…

As is often the case with these rare beasts, a lot of work initially needed doing. Jim at ‘Singing Cat Services’ has been a godsend, performing shamanic rewiring rituals, voodoo based calibration and much cat orientated strangeness…

… So, if you’re looking to recreate the BBC radiophonic workshop, or have just got too old to drop acid, this is the tool for you!

In short, a delicious slice of history.”

Neon Indian – Step Into the World With Your PAL198X from Neon Indian on Vimeo.

The cat appears a little over three minutes into the video and “plays” the PAL198X. But I recommend checking out the whole video – it has very complete retro style.

If you have your own cat-and-electronic-music pictures, you can send it to us via facebook, twitter @catsynth, or our contact page.

That is one happy cat.  I probably would be, too, with, access to that many Buchla synths.
