Electronic Music news: a synthesist is born!
Store
Written November 26 2008 , Tags: synthesizers, babies
we had a baby last week. his name is jasper. he's kind of a lily white boy despite having a south asian grandpa. hopefully he'll get his mother's almond eyes.
we were down in the studio last night making some electro. jasper was manning the modcan. with his eyes closed!
he's going to be one of those lucky guys that grows up with a basement full of synthesizers. i just grew up in a basement. there might have been some mildew. and an old snooker table. no synthesizers though.

babys often resemble their father for the first few months. this is so the father (you) wont eat them!
DONT EAT YOUR BABY

PS do you have any pictures of you and him together? I made a picture of my collaborative partner and his baby a while ago, I think every father and son should have one of these:

Congrats!
Possibly you could now integrate your baby into your setup. I'm thinking some baby triggered granulation would work well.

Got me thinking:
You could make a million dollars if you designed a cheap plastic modular synth kids toy. With patch cables permanently attached to the synth. Would it really be that tough? Color code it and put shapes on it, call it educational. Musical toys sell really well anyways...
Or stackable modular blocks! Like lego, but it makes a tune!!!
