Goodnight Betty - A Modular Synthesizer Tribute to Betty White

video upload by Charles Eck

"When I was a kid, I use to go to my Grandma Mina's house and stay up late watching the Golden Girls, Night Court and Gilligan's Island. My Mamita Mina would always let me stay up way past my bedtime and I loved her for that. Fast forward all these years later and of course, on the last night of my winter break from work, instead of going to bed early to get a good night's rest, I stayed up late playing with bleeps and bloops on my synth rack. I then had the idea of sampling Betty White's voice and stumbled across a clip of Betty reading the children's story "Goodnight Moon" at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDLdV...

The soundbite was too good to pass up so I sampled it then incorporated it into a #Synthesizer improv session. It's not perfect by any means, but a tribute to a remarkable woman who brought so much joy to many and lived one hell of a life. This one is for you Betty and Mamita Mina.

I call this piece, 'Goodnight Betty.'"
