In addition to Zoe the cat, there is a Voice of Saturn, Korg KR-55 and Boss DR-110 rhythm machines, a Roland SH3 and a Yamaha CS5, among others.
Oliver Chesler is also the author of the blog wire to the ear which we at CatSynth follow.
Today is Luna’s fifth birthday.
Thanks to everyone who has already wished her a happy birthday. And I think it was quite appropriate for CatSynth that an art/music review was the vessel by which some of those wishes were received. We will actually celebrate tomorrow, when both of us will be back home.
No, this is not Luna. It’s a video from YouTube by cyriak, as seen on matrixsynth:
Sorry… meow mix
“my cat wrote the song, I just played the music and shot the video”
A follow-up of sorts to Weekend Cat Blogging. Luna paused in front of this rack and of course I had to grab the nearest camera and snap a picture of her posing.
If Luna represents the present, the gear represents the past. The Yamaha TX81Z has a long personal history, but the other E-MU and Yamaha modules are just there, filling up space. I can remember when these were coveted items and each came with a large price tag. But they do make a nice backdrop for a “CatSynth pic.”

“on of my cats in her favorite place”
This is another photo featuring our neighbor. During one of his visits, I found him hiding behind this equipment rack.
Although barely visible from this angle, this rack features some of the older E-MU Proteus and Yamaha FM modules.

No, this is not Luna. This black cat, featured in a holiday window display at Macy’s in San Francisco, did bear a strong resemblance.
Macy’s and the San Francisco SPCA have a longstanding program that features adoptable animals (cats and dogs) in the store’s holiday window displays. You can find more info at the San Francisco SPCA site.
