Josh Kay and Richard Devine

Josh Kay aka JESWA (Soul Oddity, Phoenecia, Schematic Records) joined Richard Devine at the 2008 Mind Meld. The duo came laden with modular synesthesizers and spent a week getting them tuned in to the input signals from the studio.

Michael Bennett

Tenor Michael Bennett and Duncan Laurie

At this year's META event, in the Black Mountains of North Carolina, we conducted several hands-on sessions with other event attendees. Highlights included interactions with children, who seemed to be more open and tuned to the plants and rocks presented. A trio made up of Harpsichordist Elaine Funaro, tenor Michael Bennett and plants was arranged one afternoon. The video presented below is of Michael Bennett humming and the plants coming in and out of cadence with him.

ESKMO & Sariah Storm

Friend Sariah Storm paid a visit to the studio in November with Brendan Angelides (aka ESKMO). The two of them got acquainted and re-acquainted with the studio before sitting down to drive Ableton Live with signals from Rocks, Plants and Piezo Sensors.
