=================

"All heavenly bodies, when allowed to take their proper course, settle into motion which is either "spiral" or "orbital" in nature. We, as their humble passengers, can but sit back and enjoy the ride"

This album was made on a vintage Buchla 100 from the late 1960s. Part of the system is a very early collection of modules in a self-contained cabinet marked either ‘Buchla Associates’ or ‘San Francisco Tape Music Centre Inc’. They have green ink for the panel markings, and consist of the following modules: Model 180 Dual Attack Generator; Model 156 Dual Voltage Processor; Model 185 Frequency Shifter; 191 Sharp Cutoff Filter; 110 Dual Voltage Controlled Gate; 158 Dual Sine-Sawtooth Generator; 111 Dual Ring Modulator; 160 White Noise Generator; 165 Random Voltage Source; 112 Touch Controlled Voltage Source

The second cabinet in the system contains more vintage modules but from a later period. They are marked ‘CBS Musical Instruments’, have blue-ink screen printed panels, and add the following modules: Model 130 Envelope Detector; 194 Bandpass Filter; 190 Dual Reverberator; 106 Six Channel Mixer; 175 EQ-Line Driver; 140 Timing Pulse Generator (marked SFTMC); 123 Sequential Voltage Source; 156 CV Processor (x 2); Model 180; Model 158; 144 Dual Square Wave Gen (x2); 102 Stereo Locator

A third cabinet contains the remaining modules, which are all modern clones of the original Buchla designs: Model 180; Model 110; Model 144 (x2); 172 Dual Signal Leveller; 146 Sequencer; 157 CV Inverter; 107 CV Mixer; 114 Touch Controlled Voltage Source; 205 Matrix Mixer
