Pacific Northwest Synth 2009 - photos via David Skinner


The first pics are in. This set via David Skinner. Too many great pics to post so be sure to see them. It was an awesome event this year.

Pictured:
fight going over his new modules
Harvestman is in that case as well

Randy Jones (Madrona Labs) showing his multitouch continuous controler. I have video of this talk that I will post. Impressive piece of gear that will be available to purchase.

A kid toy that plays music and lets you sample. I posted this once before but forget what it's called. If anyone knows, let me know. I want one. Frostwave Alienator next to it. Update: it's a Zizzle Zoundz (click for video). Thanks to PaulR in the comments.

The group listening to on of the talks. We typically go around the room and discuss what we have.

Lorne with the best Synth T in the world. :) Thanks Lorne!

Mattson Mini Modular - not so mini here. Midified skulls. I have some excellent video of that coming up as well.

DIY synth kit from the either the 70s or 80s. I forget what it's called. If you know comments.

Atomo Synth Mochika from Peru

Rare Sequential Circuits Pro-8 and MMM

Pink Thingamagoop, graciously given to me by Bleep Labs a couple of years ago. It was my first gift actually.

The retro, groovy and spooky Optigan. Great Halloween kit.

  3. I gave Don Buchla a Zoundz for his birthday a few years ago, saying that in the future all music would be made like this. I'm not sure he agreed :-)

  5. That "Acid Allstars" thing is just a sticker/overlay somebody put on an Elektron Machinedrum.

    I really don't understand why someone would want to ruin the good looks of something so nicely designed (and expensive) with a big fugly sticker...

  6. The Acid Allstars is a label i record for. Why did i put a sticker on the MD? Because i wanted to. Do i need a reason?

    I didn't think so.
