CatSynth

Another from vlern (one of or most prolific contributors) submitted via our facebook page. This one features the kitten Roberta on a Kaoss Pad.

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.

“Training him as an arch nemesis for Deadmau5″

Too bad it’s only 16 seconds, I was starting to get into it.

Here, the kitten is playing a Yamaha DX9, with a circuit-bent Roland TR-626. This is also a just a great photo.

Kitten, DIY analog synthesizer, and spring reverb.

Here is another featuring the kitten:

and one featuring just the synthesizer:

“10 Step sequencer, seven audio oscillators, filter, LFO, blinky lights”

Some more photos from pulsewidthmod on flickr:

Not “cat and synthesizer” pics per se, but they do include equipment that is often overlooked but still vital to making music. The mound of tangled cables puts our messy cables at CatSynth HQ to shame. They also reminded me a bit of Christina Mazza’s drawings from the SF Recology Artists in Residence opening that I saw a few weeks ago.

From YUKO_M on flickr:

“It's my synthesizer. My cats often make strange melody.“

From comments on matrixsynth: “Pretty sure it's a Yamaha S90″

Check out more Cats on Tuesday.

From our friend sushiluv, some more photos of the tuxedo kitten Gonzo:

We have seen Gonzo before. She has grown quite a bit. And she seems quite fond of that MFB sequencer.

We look forward to seeing more from Gonzo and Daphne and sushiluv in the future.
