Virtual ANS from prolific omni-platform developer Alexander Zolotov brings back spectral synthesis like it’s the mid-century USSR. But it also future-proofs that tech – full Android and iOS (plus desktop) support, and now a version that’s polyphonic and MIDI playable....

From Garderobe to dark rooms to toilets to dance floors, someone has lovingly built a Minecraft recreation of Be– uh, I really don’t want this to be taken down. Of some Berlin club. Looks like Tresor, probably. Anyway, this strangely Tresor-ish Berlin club sure does, let’s...

You know the Minimoog and the modular. But do you know The Operator – a business telephone? Or the Moog table hockey game? The Moog name wound up in some strange places in the 80s. These creations have little to do with Bob Moog. The company first known as R.A. Moog...

Composer Hildur Guðnadóttir went the extra distance for her score for Chernobyl = taking a real power plant as inspiration for her haunting score. In a fascinating interview for Score: The Podcast, Guðnadóttir recounts how she followed the film crew to a decommissioned...

Synth love is reaching into the world of television. Teenage Engineering’s latest Pocket Operator not only features animated cult hit Rick & Morty, but involves a direct collaboration with that show’s producer. Oh yeah, and I guess Justin Roiland kind of gets an edge on the...
