Featured in Matrixsynth, I want to find her and assemble a band with her and have her play on my next album. Selfish, me.

Have a peek! This is amazing. What do you think?

As we bake many more episodes featuring Thighpaulsandra's Aeriel Studios, let's have a bit of fun with The Pet Shop Boys...Oh my - what a pretty Emulator II they have! I must listen to it for dream reference purposes, myself.

Here's an interesting clip from 1986 from former Depeche Mode keyboardist, Alan Wilder to tell us more about "sampling" and the Emulator II....I especially love the Rick Wakeman reference.

Do I HAVE to post this? Oh yes. The dark & perhaps most famous side of the Emulator II :

By the way, yes. I am quoted in 'Thighpaulsandra Part 2' as saying: "That Ferris Beuller shit". Well, I meant it in the nicest way possible?
Here's another sweet bit of Pet Shop Boys, note the Fairlight CMI Series II tucked away in the corner!

Anyway - What are your favorite vintage samplers? Do you still use them?

On that note, here's something much tastier! I feel it's time to share more loveliness from Thighpaulsandra's Aeriel Studios!

Let's see what lies in store for us in the control room! All things Serge and Solina? These beautiful machines are sure to set off the fireworks in your gear hungry heart!

I'm there to see this woman effortlessly tear up California Girls....The great Carol Kaye of The Wrecking Crew.

- Delia Derbyshire ( May 5, 1937 - July 3rd, 2001 )

As we bake more delicious films from Aeriel Studios, I'd like to send a sweet sonic kiss out to the brilliant Delia Derbyshire, who passed away on this day in 2001. Words can't describe her brilliance.

Read this gorgeous, moving interview with her and Sonic Boom (A.K.A. Pete Kember of E.A.R., Spectrum & Spacemen 3) here on her website...astounding.

For those of you new to the world of Delia, pop over here, here and here to read more!
There's some interesting bits in there about her work with the wonderful Radiophonic Workshop as well!

Seen previously on Matrixsynth, this classic footage floors me every time.
