I have this Casio synth, I got on Portobello Market a few years ago. I like to bring it around with me when Im travelling. It has a really shitty drum machine in it and a couple good sounds. Sometimes synths can have way too much going on. This thing is strictly no bullshit.

Composing a short film about childhood at the moment and I’ve been leaning heavily on this Casio PT-1 keyboard I picked up at a flea market in Barcelona. They were manufactured starting in 1985 as a simpler alternative to Casio’s LV-1, hailed to be the first commercially available synth. Anyway love this sound it’s so tactile without feeling too boxy, I’ve really enjoyed playing it through my Tascam 414 as a preamp.

been my ride or die pocket synth for going on 10 years. really versatile and durable, you can get some good deals on used ones too now that the OP Field is out. has a very digital sound to it but i’ve used it in plenty of songs and it sounds great in the mix. played live with it for a bit too when I was doing shows.
was also gifted the EP-133 (K.O. II) for christmas and liking it so far, haven’t gotten too into the sampling functionality but been enjoying the workflow and the built in sounds are nice. not sure if that one’s still on back order but it’s a very reasonable price point for TE.

I am in a deeply passionate love affair with this freaky little instrument

Dario Argento is an infinitely interesting Italian filmmaker. His films bring me a lot of comfort. He made a lot of whacked-out horror films in the late 70s onward. In terms of the acting in them, they’re not exactly masterclasses but his use of prosthetics in his films are awesome. Heads exploding, almost neon red blood, witches, dolls, a cool monkey. If you’re into that kinda thing… His use of music is great too. The Italian prog-rock band Goblin did the score to a few of his films. When they filmed Suspiria (1977), they actually played the score on speakers as they were filming to freak out the actors and drag them into his world. Whether you like it or not, it’ll drag you in too

My friend recently showed me this album by Blod Besvimelse called Geleit Ins Totenreich (Escort to the Realm of Death). I’ve never heard anything like it and I can’t stop listening to it. It sounds like something you’d play at Dracula's funeral.

Giacometti is really sick, I love his sculptures but I think his most interesting work are his portraits. If you see one of his paintings, look at it from the side. They’re so caked in paint, they’re basically sculptures themselves. He also has such a loose way of drawing, they’re quite abstracted yet have an incredible likeness of the person. Not really sure what happens with the heads, they look like they got shrunk in the wash.
