author's comments: (Artist @AlexVaranese asks:)

“What would you do if you could travel back in time? Assassinate Marilyn Monroe? Go on a date with Hitler? Obviously. But here’s what I’d do after that: grab all the modern technology I could find, take it to the late 70’s, superficially redesign it all to blend in, start a consumer electronics company to unleash it upon the world, then sit back as I rake in billions, trillions, or even millions of dollars.

I’ve explored that idea in this series by re-imagining four common products from 2010 as if they were designed in 1977: an mp3 player, a laptop, a mobile phone and a handheld video game system. I then created a series of fictitious but stylistically accurate print ads to market them, as well as a handful of abstract posters (you know, just for funsies).”

i picked up one of these awhile back..........and man is it a fun unit.

some great sounds.

KORG is a fairly big name in the syncopation and synthesizer business, I think (moreso in Europe).
Thanks for sharing that, Fly; gives me a new little toy to seek out (though I wish I had one like you do, to tinker around with).

This is my rendition of the song "Creep" by Radiohead.
Obviously the performance has it's flaws, but thats what makes it unique.
Anyway enjoy the video and hopefully I can make some more in the near future.

Akai MPC1000BK synthesizer

Alexander Chen’s “Conductor” uses realtime data on the MTA’s subway schedule to turn Massimo Vignelli’s iconic NYC subway map
into an interactive string instrument.

author's comments: The piece follows some rules. Every minute, it checks for new trains launched from their end stations. The
train then moves towards the end of the line, with its speed set by the schedule’s estimated trip duration. Some decisions were
made for musical, aesthetic, and technical reasons, such as fading out routes over time, the gradual time acceleration, and limiting
the number of concurrent trains. Also, I used the weekday schedule. Some of these limitations result in subtle variations, as different
trains are chosen during each 24-hour loop.

～明和電機　社長ブログ～: OP-1 これはかわいい！シンセサイザー！

translated: Teenage Engineering Company (Sweden) have crafted their newest synthesizer: The OP-1 Instrument!

Engineering’s OP-1 is something unique in music hardware. It’s got a form factor inspired by the Casio VL-Tone series – you know,
those cute little 80s-vintage synths. It’s a sampler. It’s a synth. It has an FM radio. It will have a variety of sequencers. It has, we’ve
just learned, a multi-track tape mode that lets you do beat-synced virtual splicing as a performance technique. It is expected to inte-
grate and interoperate with a design lifestyle including, if you like, a luxury-priced, meticulously-machined desk lamp, and according
to one rumor I heard, perhaps even a specially-designed electric bicycle. (Seriously.)

the AM / FM keyboard 6

the instrument was designed by vasco alves; it is an updated version of his earlier
'FM kbrd'. the 'FM kbrd' had 12 piano keys which are meant to trigger 12 radios,
tuned to different stations enabling one to create / play sound pieces based on what is being broadcast
over the radio at that particular moment. now the new 'AM / FM keyboard 6' is built out of wenge wood,
with only 6 keys and 6 independent audio outputs (requiring a 1/4 inch jack) that allow manipulation
of out coming sound. it now has a larger variety of controls. the new keyboard consists of six radios,
six keys, six tuning dials, 6 volume controls 6 AM/FM switches, 6 LED lights, 6 antennas,
6 audio outputs and 1 power socket. this model was designed to be portable (smaller dimensions
and weight) so that its easier for travel / touring.
