Selected Instruments
Ondes Martenot valve modèle #6 ‘Concert‘ (formerly owned by Barry Gray of Thunderbirds fame)
Hauntingly-beautiful, ethereal, natural sounds. This instrument featured in Maurice Jarre’s timeless score for David Lean’s ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ (1962).
Korg PS-3300 (formerly owned by Klaus Schulze)
One of the rarest and biggest analogue microtonal synthesizers ever made. Only around 25 were ever produced. LaMP’s model is one of the first Korg prototypes and has been fully restored. Described by Bob Moog as “the best synthesizer for fat sounds”.
Selmer Clavioline ‘Concert’ model
Valve instrument capable of characteristic ‘quacking’ sounds, but also able with its knee pedal to make unique lyrical lines.
Moog Taurus, Mark #1
thunderous …the Taurus, launched in late 1976, also sounded phenomenally good[it] just seems to have that indefinable ‘something’ that sets it apart. …The oscillators beat against one another, and give the rich swirl that is so appealing to the ears, but the bass content remains solid and consistent. …you’ve not heard ‘deep’ bass until you’ve heard the Taurus in full flight. …these kind of sub‑sonics are beyond the scope of any digital synth that I’ve come across, and even put a lot of good analogue ones to shame.
Paul Ward, Sound on Sound Magazine 6/1995
