The Legendary Wiard 300 Series Modular Synthesizer

these hand built museum pieces are again available for the
21st Century.

Recordings Using the Wiard

 Amish
Rake Fight: Fellow Prisoners In heavy rotation on the factory
CD player. A nice symmetry, listening to music made with Wiard
Synthesizers while actually building Wiard Synthesizers. |

 Mushroom:
Mad Dogs and San Franciscans Doug Pearson appears on the Wiard
modular musical instrument. |
|
 smoo:
Traffic In My Soul Done almost entirely with six Wiard modules.
An amazing technical accomplishment, but more importantly, an
stunningly MUSICAL accomplishment. Can not be recommended highly
enough. Olivier Gerber constantly delights. |
|
 Tortoise:
Standards The first 3 minutes of "Benway" is synthesized
entirely on the Wiard instrument. I would recommend this even
if the Wiard were not on it. Tortoise continues to astonish
and amaze with their shear musicality. |
|
 Scsiband:
Watermark Ms. Felines voice is haunting. Produced on a digital
audio workstation, Dr. Mabuse made extensive use of the Wiard
for post processing digital audio tracks. |

Russ Tolman: New Quadraphonic Highway This one
blew me away. Steel Guitars, Banjos and Modular Synthesizer,
Really a Blast! Doug Pearson's playing is excellent. They even
put a picture of the instrument on the cover! The naive reviewer
still refers to the Wiard as "vintage Moog". I chose
to take this as a perverse compliment. |
|
Isotope 217: Who Stole The I Walkman? Jazz Hip Hop fusion
which really works. Feeling like classic "passed solos"
the synthesizer solos keep the grove going with abstract rhythms
and counterpoint. |
