Style Productions (1982)
Excellent compilation of electronic/synth artists from 1982. Features artists like Magnétique Bleu, Norma Loy, DZ Lectric, Die Form, and Étant Donnés. Very rare!!
Initial copies came with the Style Productions No.2 fanzine. When I took this picture, I did not have the fanzine, but as of (7/28/10) I was able to obtain a copy of it when I bought a copy of the Magnétique Bleu - Virgin Boy / Nuit 7" from a French seller.
It's a very cool fanzine with some interesting artworks, photos and writings relating to Magnétique Bleu, DZ Lectric, Norma Loy etc.
In the fanzine, the Les Electriques compilation is referenced as Style Productions No.3.

When I was up at Random Hacks of Kindness there was an interesting cacophony of noise coming through the walls. I wandered around to find out what it was, and stumbled upon the Annual Analog Synthesizer Meeting.
It's a group of audiophiles who use only analog circuits to make music. They generally hand solder their systems, though you can get kits.
The systems produce sound like this:
soundcloud.com/badr0b0t/maths-module
(listen to it about halfway through, it starts off slow)

This will be my first bit of hardware programming writing code with C. I haven't finished the patching system yet (will do a video when I have) but thought I'd stick a picture up as the enclosure is more or less done, the prototype program made it's first sounds, tap tempo works etc.
The filter on my monotron didn't track the keyboard properly, causing low notes to have a different timbre than high notes. I solved the problem by removing R42 (normally 300KΩ) and replacing it with a 1MΩ trimmer potentiometer.

Immanuel Casto

Immanuel Casto è una nuova ondata di atteggiamento musicale, di gusto italiano nell’essere, ma di influenze estere nel sound. Immanuel raccoglie tutto quello che gli altri avrebbero voluto essere e fare, senza scendere a compromessi audio/visivi. Una descrizione priva di giudizio, una fotografia lucida del presente che si svela, senza enfasi né commenti, nel suo intrinseco cinismo. L’artista ha il coraggio di riconoscere sesso, sangue e soldi, come i protagonisti della cronaca e dell’intrattenimento, parlandone senza moralismi e inutili pudori, ma anzi con impudenza e ironia. Il tutto immerso in sonorità dance e synth-pop e confezionato con un’immagine algida e glamour.
Immanuel Casto, all’anagrafe Manuel Cuni, nasce a Bergamo il 16 settembre 1983. Durante l’adolescenza inizia il percorso di studi artistici legati al teatro e alle arti visive, dedicandosi specialmente alla grafica. Nel 2002 si sposta a Bologna e dopo aver lavorato in ambito teatrale con Paolo Magagna (Teatro dell’Ascolto), Marina Pitta e Gianfranco Rimondi (Teatro dei dispersi) comincia giovanissimo una carriera come Art Director presso l’agenzia di comunicazione e grafica D-sign. Parallelamente, nel 2004 sviluppa il suo progetto musicale costruendo il personaggio Immanuel Casto.
Cinque anni di carriera vissuti embrionalmente su Youtube, collezionando milioni di visite grazie a raffinati e alquanto spiazzanti videoclip, e perfezionando un preciso stile musicale da lui definito ‘Porn Groove‘. Senza alcun supporto discografico nei negozi o rotazione televisiva, Immanuel Casto segna presto numerosi concerti sold-out nei principali club italiani e un hype popolare sempre piu’ crescente.
Le pungenti liriche diventano oggetto di costante viralità web, creando grossi dibattiti dentro e fuori la rete. Ai brani degli esordi, ‘Anal Beat‘, ‘50Bocca 100Amore‘, ‘Che bella la cappella‘, ‘Io La do‘, ‘Il Tempo degli Abusi‘ (contenuti nel disco ‘Porn Groove 2004-2009‘ JLe/Pirames) si aggiungono le evoluzioni stilistiche di ‘Touche’ (par l’amour), ‘Escort 25‘, ‘Crash‘, ‘Killer Star‘, ‘Revival‘ (nel disco del 2011 ‘Adult Music‘ JLe/Universal).
Il nuovo disco ‘Freak & Chic‘, anticipato dai singoli ‘Zero Carboidrati‘ e ‘Tropicanal‘, è atteso dopo l’estate 2013.
Immanuel ha inoltre curato la colonna sonora della recente web fiction “Kubrick, una storia porno”, prodotta da Magnolia, e ha realizzato come regista il suo primo cortometraggio ‘A Wonderful Life‘.
Immanuel Casto non è solo musica e arti visive: dal 2012 è diventato realtà il gioco di carte ‘Squillo‘ da lui ideato e prodotto insieme a JLe Management e Raven Distribution. ‘Il primo gioco di carte dedicato allo sfruttamento della prostituzione’ diventa subito un cult del gaming da tavolo, registrando ottimi dati di vendita e consacrando il grande valore poliedrico di Immanuel Casto.
DICONO DI LUI
“Un personaggio di culto che usa linguaggio spiazzante per esternare un messaggio di denuncia sociale” La Repubblica
“L’elettronica di Casto dichiara guerra all’ipocrisia, alla Chiesa degli scandali, alla morbosità dei media. Tutto finisce sul palcoscenico e diventa spettacolo”.Il Fatto Quotidiano
“Il re musicale del web ante litteram, uno degli artisti italiani più provocatori degli ultimi anni”.Panorama
“Cantare del sesso (esplicito) senza rinunciare ad essere chic”.El Pais

Self Released (1983)
Private minimal/synth/experimental tape released by Tara Cross in 1983, dedicated in the memory of Klaus Nomi. Spurt Ditties side recorded in 1982 and Concocting Chaos side recorded in 1983.
This copy has an original photograph from airbrush illustrator B. Keusch, his business card, an insert dedication to Klaus Nomi and a two-sided insert with track titles and lyrics. Everything in a clear plastic bag with Tara Cross’ mailing address.
I’m unsure as to how many of these were made and distributed.

This is a home made drum synth i built in 1989, out of a kit. It won me a 'Distinction' for my GCSE Electronics project. Years after i sampled the hell out of it. Its got a few dry joints which i fixed recently, but otherwise, still works. Its got a piezo-electric pick blue tacked to the side to trigger it and also a audio input. I used to feed it closed Hi-hats to synchronize with a drum machine. Fun!
