Hearing Cats Collective is pleased to present the third presentation of Electronium Designs, a video series documenting the synthesizer designs of Mike Murphy (aka Dr. Mabuse).

Mike has been constructing highly original, technically sophisticated sound synthesizers for over 30 years. He is a regular practitioner of improvised music, using his designs in solo and group performances. Although live audiences are often treated to a distant glimpse of these synthesizer constructions, the devices largely exist without being seen or heard by the general public. This video series is intended as a comprehensive survey of Murphy’s instruments.

This presentation will feature The Aurora, a unique collection of circuits best seen as a complex harmonic workstation.

Each video in the series will feature Murphy discussing a different instrument of his design. We will continue to release videos throughout the year.

The video will be streamed via Hearding Cats Collective's Youtube channel and will remain archived there after the initial presentation.
