Gas Studio – Name that Synthesizer, Win a CD

Here’s a video of the old Gas studios taken around 1999 or 2000.

The video is quite blurry, so it’s a good way to test your synthesizer naming/ geeking skills. Name all the gear you can in the comments and I’ll send three copies of Gas 0095 on CD+MP3+Flac24 to the three geeks who guess/ identify the most gear correctly. You don’t have to name it all, just one more than the person next to you.

Comfortably untidy, with old Macs and PCs in bits in the background, unpaid bills and three plate fulls of spaghetti. This is most of the gear used for the Gas 0095 album, plus a few new additions, all obsolete and still creating beautiful noises.

Name that gear, add a comment…

    Back : I’ve forgotten to write how cool the studio was, I presume it is quite different those days, but I’d like playing with some of those synths !

    Have a good day.

    Cheers from the sunny town of Metz, France !

    Hey, don’t forget about the roll of tape and the pair of scissors, essential tools for tagging keys and synth settings!

    Hi Mat,

    I cannot identify a lot of equipment as this people before…. So i don´t think i could qualify for this contest…

    But if you ever make a 5 training days in your studio, i´ll apply for that!

    Regards,

    Rod
