Apparently Paul Hardcastle was near skint when he made "19". Looks like he's put the royalties to good use.

Only just taken in that Blackmagic Design (Australian manufacturer of cinema cameras) bought Fairlight (Australian makers of iconic sampling instrument that defined a lot of pop music in the 80s and latterly makers of computerised music mixing hardware and software) back in 2016. Got my finger on the river of news me eh?

Somebody on Flea_Bay selling a Vintage Fairlight CMI for £16000. Looked at it once in wistful amusement. Not on watch (why would I?) but Flea-Bay is asking me to "make an offer". Yeah right. #synths #samplers #FleaBay #FairlightCMI

Watching @siege post about "Miami Vice" reminded me how my favorite thing about that show is forever Jan Hammer's music video for the theme song.

Look how much fun he's having! It's adorkable.

Here's a clip of Steve Horelick demonstrating the #FairlightCMI synthesizer on #ReadingRainbow in 1983.

Seeing this very segment as a kid is the reason I grew up obsessed with audio sampling in general and that synthesizer in particular. It's also how, around 1200 miles away, little @gilahava704 learned what an onomatopoeia is.

eventually I will go off in detail about how cool I think the #FairlightCMI is (and my plans for a studio desk/workstation inspired by it), but for now just have a tumblr post
