Analog Suicide Note From Hollywood

Tara Busch's blog, analogsuicide.com was featuring a number of Sonic's videos, so we figured it was time to say "hi" and find out some more about this cool chick who was into analogue gear.
Turns out she's just like any other dude who's had their life turned upside down by the sweet sound of modulation. So that gave us an idea. What about Tara hosting her own show direct from Hollywood for all the loyal Sonic viewers around the World?

OK, so that was a while back, now cut to today as we launch the very first installment of our new series, Analog Suicide Note From Hollywood.
This first episode features some of Dan Mcpharlin's miniature cardboard synths, an eerie old Welsh pump organ and footage of the very first Storytone Electric piano.
I hope you enjoy the new series and the good news is there's plenty more on the way including a trip to the legendary Future Music emporium in the very next show.
Oh and by the way, If this ain’t enough for you, you can watch more of Tara's clips on SonicstateTV or by visiting Analog Suicide.

More About Tara…
Tara’s love of music started at an early age. With many musicians in her family she grew up to a soundtrack of Zeppelin, Bowie, Kate Bush, Portishead, Massive Attack and Goldfrapp (another Anglophile…ho hum.). When it came to recording her solo album, Pilfershire Lane, she found she couldn’t get the trippy, nostalgic and downright disturbing sounds she had in mind other than through using lots of real deal analogue synths. From that point on knobs and sliders have become something of an obsession and the only way to focus her enthusiasm was through creating her blog, analogsuicide.com.
The three clips are directed by Maf Lewis, who dance heads may know as the brains behind the release of the sublime 2 People by Jean-Jacques Smoothie.

I'd like to hear Higher State of Conciousness on an ancient Welsh Pump Organ please! Love the cardboard synths too, perfect for my boxroom studio. www.jeanjacquessmoothie.com

Hey - this was great ! Good job everybody , I'm looking forward to seeing more......

The real Jean Jacques Smoothie? We are honoured sir! Personally I think "Two People" would sound pretty hot on the pump organ, too!

Very cool stuff, would have loved to hear that piano in action! I'm looking forward to other videos. Is the music playing at the start and end Tara's?

Sure, Marc. All the music is from Tara's Pilfershire Lane download. You can hear more on her MySpace page or speak to her at the AnalogSuicide blog.

Hi Everyone!! Thanks for the kind comments about the film & music!! I wish that Storytone could have played, it was a wee bit out of tune ( which I personally love) at the time. What could be better than I detuned piano equipped with a pickup? :)

And yes - Dear Jean Jacques Smoothie!!Like Simon mentioned, that pump organ was made to play 2 People but I'll take requests : ) Oh - your CS5 is happy by the way! Anyway , do stop by tarabusch.com and analogsuicide.com for news about the album & all the goods. And I can't resist a good plugging opportunity- It's coming out in a box set on Tummy Touch Records very soon, too!

See you all soon!! tara
