Analog BBQ 2

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

After Analog BBQ 1 in 2009, synth collector and musician Thomas P. Heckmann invited us (Michael Buchner, Oli Rubow and me) to combine a fine BBQ afternoon (with hex shaped slices of cucumber) with a guided tour through his forrest of vintage synthesizers. A really impressive conglomerate of electronics… It’s a pleasure to share some impressions:

The “Simmons corner”

Thanks to Thomas and his girl friend Natasha who have been great hosts!
