The Well-Tempered Synthesizer by Walter Carlos: A Guilty Pleasure
Posted by Tim Schroeder on
The Well-Tempered Synthesizer by Walter Carlos: A Guilty Pleasure I think we can file this album, "The Well-Tempered Synthesizer" by Carlos Walter, under the âguilty pleasuresâ tab. While Iâm not a big fan of modern synthesizers or early baroque music, this odd mixture of genres kinda hits the spot. The analog synthesizers with their fat sounds add an ominous texture that brings me back to my love for this music which started with Clockwork Orange. Iâll also admit that the album âBachbustersâ spent more than a few hours in my CD player when it came out. Good(?) stuff! #mofiturntable #weirdmusic #goodmusic #vintagesynthesizers #vintagesynth #clockworkorange #highlandparkil #chicagohifidealer The...

As a lifelong Zappa nerd Iâm open to most anything Zappa. When Frankâs son Dweezil Zappa started doing the Zappa Plays Zappa thing, I approached with caution (but got tickets the first chance I had).
When the DB7 Prototype came back into my life...
Posted by Tim Schroeder on
A bitter sweet day. Sweet in that the working prototype for DB7 number one, which I created so many years ago, is coming back home to be a part of my musical life. Bitter in that itâs returning to me because of the passing of a dear friend. Iâm honored to have this back in my life for a few reasons.
