Ruth White's "Short Circuits"

I transferred a rare Moog record by this lady several months ago, but never got around to doing a proper page for it (and still haven't). It was released in 1971 and was played on a Moog Modular and some other period electronic instruments. Yes, another *real* woman synthesist! Ha. Some day I'll get around to scanning the info in, but in the mean time enjoy...

BTW, I just updated my Everything You Always Wanted to Hear on the Moog page with a new copy of one of the tracks.

Too Good To Be True

Hi guys I don't know what you think about it. But my gut tells me it's a hoax...

Check out these auctions on Ebay:
EMS Synthi AKS
EMS Synthi Sequencer 256

Come on, first of all I had seen the pictures and write-ups on some other genuine auctions. Second, this guy is from China? Third no selling history... And lastly he is selling an EMS synthi AKS and EMS Synthi Sequencer 256 each at buy-it-now price of USD$330? I don't know if this is for real... any ideas? I suspect it's a hoax.

Have you ever felt an LFO?

Weird post I guess, but I'm currently using a TENS unit to try and ease some sciatica.

There's pulse width and frequency controls to play with. I'm wondering if I could hook it up to my modular to get some interesting modulations, but I'd probably fry something. Ha.
