I am a bit of a slacker. No new blogs in 6 days. I do have about 3 I am working on in my head. This first one is going to be light hearted and fun.
Derek, Joe, and I went on a "spot" date with Avalon to a suburb of Chicago. At the church we played at I saw this:
This real synthesizer was designed by Serge Tcherepnin and was built and hand soldered by Walter, the "worship dude" at the church, in 1974. Walter spent about an hour total with me and some of the other guys showing us the workings of this really cool synth. The modules alone cost about $4000 in 1974. Then he had to build it from the schematic, hand solder the points, and mount it in a custom case. Walter also wrote a symphony based on classical forms in the style of house music and even integrated the Serge throughout the 4 different movements. I want one now. Thanks Walter!
Peace
