Just read on the Chems twitter feed that Don Buchla died four days ago. :(

He invented some amazing analogue modular synthesizers. Alessandro Cortini, former NIN keyboarder, is known to be a big fan of the Buchla 200e with which he created two albums under his alias SonoIo. He also played a jam with Don Buchla on one of these at the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival in 2010.







Farewell, Mr. Buchla.

Incredible inventor. It will be missed.  His modular system are truly remarkable, a work of art. Those buchla sounds are some of the best in electronic. What a shame  :(



Those drips drops are so good on that machine.
