Hearing Cats Collective is pleased to present the second presentation of Electronium Designs, a new video series documenting the synthesizer designs of Mike Murphy.

Mike Murphy 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 An Annoyance of Grackles, a synthesizer best seen as a cybernetic system of chaotic generation.

Each video will present Murphy discussing a different instrument of his design. We will be releasing videos throughout the year.

MARCH 5 @ 8:00pm on Youtube.
