Dusty


Check out this fleabay auction - the most dustiest loft-found-synth ever! The seller didn't even bother to dust the whole synth down - just enough to read the name. That'l do. Actually, its a very rare synth - I've never seen one before. I guess its a kit from the E&MM mag back in the day

This patch uses the Analog Shift Register to delay a sequencer pattern by 2 steps before going to a 2nd oscillator. They both go into the Wilson Analog Delay which is being VC'd by the sequencer too

The Dusseldorf




Just got back from a flying visit to Dusseldorf, where we played as part of the ElectriCity festival. Dusseldorf is the epicentre of european art music, being home to the likes of Kraftwerk (Kling-Klang studio, now defunct) and Joseph Beuys (Dusseldorf Academy of Art)

I was lucky enough to be met at the airport my my fellow bandmates, who had gone out the day before for Mal's talk at the music conference



We were playing on the bill before Michael Rother, a very nice man, and one responsible for virtually inventing Krautrock. Here is a little bit of his set I caught on camera
