Full disclosure. Here at Synthtube, we are denkitribe fanboys. This man-machine from Japan picks up ANY piece of gear, and proceeds in realtime to create absolutely stunningly beautiful electronic music with it - every time, without fail. Here's a video of him using a BlipTronic 5000, a FIFTY DOLLAR Synthesizer, hooked up ...

We received a submission from reader "Synthjunk" linking to his (her?) video on YT, and boy oh boy were we glad that this is our first submission of the New Year. This is a brilliant example of utilising all the best of old gear with modern recording techniques to produce a ...

Way back in the 1980's, when we here at SynthTube were in our formative years, the world was a surprisingly different place. The Cold War was still going on, and fear of nuclear annihilation at the hands of the "Evil" Soviet empire was a daily threat that everyone was more ...

As stated just days ago, one of the great things about when one of our posts here at SynthTube goes "viral", we enjoy a large influx of new readers. Quite often this influx involves the sort of people who we know like this kind of blog, and more often are ...

First of all, we'd just like to welcome any new readers brought in by BoingBoing and the "Chicken Suit Busker" video. One of the great things about getting a popular blog hit like that to us is that it makes the wider internet community aware of our presence, and we ...

Ok, so it's a trend here at Synthtube. We're posting more stuff that is not necessarily 100% Synthesizer related, directly. However, we're sure you'll agree that something like what we're presenting today deserves to be mentioned to fans of synthesizer-based music. Some may be familiar with the pastime/profession of "Beatboxing" - the ...

Ladytron was formed in 1999 by a group of musicians from diverse backgrounds in Liverpool, UK. Their style is quite diverse depending on which of the four members of the band write the song - however, it can accurately be described as an evolution of the vintage "Synthpop" sound incorporating elements ...

Back in the dark old days of the 1990's, when processor speeds were low (compared to today), and memory requirements were stringent upon developers to be ULTRA efficient, there was a burgeoning community referred to as the "demoscene", where assembly (close to machine code) programmers would get together with artists ...

Children of the 80's like us at Synthtube, will fondly remember the 80's Nintendo Peripheral, the "Power Glove" for the Super Nintendo video games console. Denkitribe, a synth-music-making-guru we frequently feature here on Synthtube, has some videos up recently where he has connected one of these Power Gloves to an Arduino ...

We won't say anything more other than : This baby is playing an ARP-Odyssey.  It must be seriously nice when Mummy and Daddy can afford to let baby mash keys on a vintage beast like this. Enjoy.

YT User provides this "difficult listening" style video of his own creation - a "Circuit Bent" Barbie Karaoke machine. From the post : It is based on Casper Electronics schematic here http://casperelectronics.com/finished... Intriguing.

We think we've found the solution for modern popular music going down the tubes. Hire BABIES to make it instead. With due apologies, here is another video of an awesomely talented baby playing with a synth. This kid actually appears to be turning the knobs though. What do you think, is this ...

Released in London in 2007, the Yamaha Tenori-On is a revolutionary music creation device / controller designed by Japanese Artist Toshio Iwai (famous for designing beautiful Nintendo DS Music Software, "Electroplankton") and Yu Nishibori, of the "Music and Human Interface Group", at the Yamaha Center for Advanced Sound Technology.  If ...

So apparently the Naked Baby playing a Synth vid has been pretty popular over at BoingBoing.Net. We're stunned to say, that there's already a "Mashup" of said video, involving YT user 'softcorerobot' mixing the Naked Baby Synth with Charlie Dark, and the poor parents of this child are waking up to ...

Compilation of very interesting sound-art videos from live performances of (Portuguese?) group, "Pygar". Lots of analogue-y blips and glitches here. We''ve watched sound-art performances like these before, and most of these are the kind where you see couples curled up with eachother in their seats by the end of the ...

Vimeo User "RED MARTIN" gives a spectacular demo of a Sequential Circuits Prophet T-8 in combination with a Roland Jupiter-6. The proof, on this one, is in the listening. Lovely stuff.

Nuff' Said, really. A (semi) naked, 9-month-old baby plays a Synthesizer. Anyone care to hazard a guess as to what model synth he's playing? He clearly doesn't wear diapers, so it must be pretty hardcore. I especially love the giggling of the mother operating the camera. This kid has a bright future ahead of ...

We've featured a number of posts here on SynthTube, notably from YT user "Denkitribe" that uses the incredible little box from Korg, the Electribe EMX-1. Sometimes described as A "drum machine", but really a self-contained little music "workstation", the Electribe EMX-1 is an extremely popular tool amongst the DJ crowd, or ...

Awesomely talented YT User, "DenkiTribe", who we've featured here before on SynthTube has done it again, with this very atmosphereic, trancey improv on a Korg MicroKorg XL, hooked up to an Electribe R Mk II. The one notable feature about this video is that DT offers it in HD!  Wonderful ...

This is what synths are all about. Take the cheesiest synth with the cheesiest, "wavetable" sounds. Before you write it off, hand it to a YT user like "Ryan Tedder", and see what he comes up with. This is what music is all about.... Click the pic for video.. And be ready to ...
