In this week's show, we talk to Cologne based artist and Youtuber Felix, the man behind 'The Tuesday Night Machines' Youtube channel. We start off with giving him a little grief about selling his Ciat Lonbarde equipment :-) Then we get down to a great conversation of what equipment speaks to Felix and His creative process with different gear. We then chat about and journey through a raft of synth formats and find time to talk Gotharman's Little deFormer, and his old school MPC 500! Grab a cuppa, sit down and press that play button.

I'm always intrigued by a good story. How about "from early music player to Buchla master"? Todd Barton's story is as good as his music - which is damned good. His use of serious electronic music gear to create focused worked is quite unique, and it is reflected in the way that the music sounds awesome regardless of the technology used to create it.

And the list of technology is pretty serious: Buchla modulars and Music Easels, Serge modulars and the Haken Continuum - and even the Hordijk Blippoo - are all pulled into play as necessary. Todd has been releasing recordings, but also recently did a series of live shows throughout Europe and the western US.

In our chat, we go over his entre into electronic music, how he got drawn into Buchla and Serge gear, and how he makes his choices now. He also talks a bit about the process of doing live modular teaching via Skype, and how he creates his live musical sculptures. Very in-depth conversations on creation; this is a discussion that will prove inspiring.

Check out Todd's work at his website: toddbarton.com. And enjoy the podcast!

Rob Hordijk is one of those designers - when he makes something, it seems to hold "the magic". Whether we are talking about the Benjolin, the Rungler, or one of his system 'sections', Rob makes the kind of gear that people dedicate their lives to.

I was really pleased to get the chance to talk to Rob, and was amazed at his approach to synth development: he has a design methodology created from his experiences of electronics, art and system design. The combination makes for an impressive process, the the results speak for themselves.

It is also interesting to hear about how he pursues the artistic angle of his work, and how he interacts with the art and music worlds. I really enjoyed this talk, and I hope you like listening in.
