The Packrat Sampler Arrives

My copy of The Packrat Sampler  has arrived!  I thought I'd post some pics up along with a note on why this book is extremely special to me.  I started MATRIXSYNTH in blog format back on July 20th of 2005. The first post on The Packrat went up on Halloween of that year  (with two prior references here and here).   The Packrat was with me on year one and has been a staple on the site ever since.  The MATRIXSYNTH Packrat image pictured on the right of the site went up on August 2, 2006, and to my surprise and complete honor it graces the cover of the book!

The Packrat pretty much symbolizes the true inner synth obsessed in all of us.  He took a little hiatus in 2006 and came back in 2007 and has been going strong since.  He brought us synth dreams and Buchla Christmas wishes.  He has a significant place in synth history as the longest running, if not the only running, true synthesizer based comic strip.  Because of that, and because of the awesome coolness of the man behind the strip, Mr. Dave C. Lovelace, who brought us much of the artwork behind Metasonix products as well as his other comic strips, and plays ripping keys in his band Parallax, I highly recommend this book.  Check out that Tron keytar (more here)!

In all seriousness, The Packrat, also featured in Keyboard Magazine, is part of synth history.  Not only does the book feature each episode of the comic, you get the history behind each including interesting tidbits you might miss in the comic otherwise, and you get a 12-page adventure never seen anywhere else (which includes another MATRIXSYNTH appearance).

Seriously, get this book now!  It's dirt cheap, it's synth history, and it is AWESOME!

David C Lovelace & His Better Half Wanders Into The Moog Sound Lab


via David Lovelace on Facebook:

"We actually wandered into this room off the street accidentally. The door was supposed to be locked (there's video surveillance, so don't try it, Asheville interlopers!), but my connection with this company charged the building itself to become self-aware and allow my entry into its secret, twinkling synthmeats."

Dave of course is the author of The Packrat (August 2012 strip below), and he created the MATRIXSYNTH Packrat on the right of this site way back in 2006. Thank you Dave! Be sure to check out his site http://www.umop.com/ for tons more including music, tron keytar, and his lovely mother-in-law.
He also did the unforgettable artwork for a number of Metasonix products.




Update via Dave in the comments:

"Aw, thanks! Lee-Ann and I had a great time there with Jason Daniello, Moog's AR Manager. She showed us around the factory (more pics of that coming today) and basically let me be a 12-year-old in a music store, making a lot of noise and wondering how much of this stuff I'll get to own when I grow up. While I was there I drew a Packrat comic for them on a big 18x30 pad, mounted on an easel, with Sharpies. They took a video of the process which should end up on their YouTube channel or maybe just their website, not sure... anyway here's the best shot I was able to get of that drawing... as is apparent I got pretty hammered on mai tais at Trader Vics in Atlanta the night before..."

"Mary Jane lives very much up to her name this time around. Watch what happens when she eats a forbidden, pharmaceutically enhanced brownie! It's mind-expanding goodness (with the return of the keytar!) in this diagonally time-traveling episode."

YouTube Uploaded by hamsterdunce on Feb 15, 2012

"Subscribe to Lee-Ann's channel to watch the full video: LUCYZEKE12

More music on umop.com and lalovelace.com

Lee-Ann and Dave wallow in 1980s craziness in this super-colossal dual keytar jam session, covering "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins. New, different artists will be featured every single week on her channel. There are already a few other ones uploaded, so check out her channel and be sure to subscribe if you love original & tribute blues, rock, R&B, and everything else in between (even the occasional synthesizer)."

Note the custom "Tron" red keytar, previously featured here. Dave is of course the man behind The Packrat series amongst others and back in 2006 he created The Packrat Matrix on the right of the site. His art has also been featured on numerous Metasonix products.

Ode to TRON: a Man-child's Tale of Infinite Yearning


YouTube Uploaded by hamsterdunce on Oct 1, 2011

"This video is an entry in the Parker Brother's Chopper giveaway for an actual, functional Light Cycle! It is also a little something special for the Tron fans who have supported my keytar-soloing bullstuff all these years. Enjoy the video & keep your fingers crossed. Maybe someday soon my CT friends will see me pull up to the grocery store on a glow-in-the-dark, hubless Grid Steed."

Keytar Action in Retarded Animal Babies 22

1st off, this one is 100% NSFW. If you are easily offended or maybe even not so easily offended, do not watch the episode here.

That said, if you are not familiar with RAB, it's a toon by Dave, the man who brought us The Packrat and these excellent videos. He runs all of http://umop.com/ and plays keys in Parallax. You should recognize his custom "Tron" red Roland AXIS keytar. See this video. Image of Dave below via the Parallax site, not the toon. Hmm... is he the donkey?

Driven-Jump-Van Halen-Murphy and Scarlettis-May 2010


Dave of http://umop.com/ with his custom Tron keytar.
YouTube via localbandreview — May 30, 2010 — "I'm really not sure whether to classify this in the 'I only put this up for a goof' category or not, because it's actually pretty good. Nice thing about wireless equipment is you can move around, bad thing about wireless is you can really move around. Where's a cop when you need one to direct you back to the stage, oh never mind...

This was Dave Lovelace's second gig with Driven as the keyboardist and as you can see in this video he is a great addition. Dave shows off his Tron like Keytar which you really have to see in person to appreciate.

Murphy and Scarletti's was as usual a great host and they band was having a lot of fun on stage for this Memorial Day weekend. OK I have to rest now following them around wore me out!

Catch Driven in the many places in Central Connecticut that they play, it's a great night out.
