mistfunk | MIST0224/BLIPPYPIXEL-TONTO

A giant multi-coloured semi-circular modular synthesizer, more of a room than an instrument, covered in lit knobs to twiddle and flashing lights, dominates a darkened chamber.

Mistigram: #TONTO (or: #TheOriginalNewTimbralOrchestra) is "the first, and still the largest, multitimbral polyphonic analog synthesizer in the world", as seen in Phantom of the Paradise and heard on Stevie Wonder's Innervisions album. It spent time at the Mutato Muzika headquarters before winding up at the National Music Centre in Calgary, Alberta, where it can be booked and played! This animated #teletext portrait of it was drawn by

blippypixel and included in our recent music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection.
