Back in 1988-1996 in Tijuana( US-Mexico Border) i was involved in diferent industrial, Noise Electronic Local Acts before i became Fussible with Melo Ruiz and started with "Nortec Collective" in 1999. At the same time i was working with Ramon Bostich to do an Ambient Noise Music Duo with a more analog synth touch, this poject called "Monithor" wich later become Latinsizer as a solo alias, this footage i founded in lost tapes from back in 1996,
this video was taken at Monterrey city at an abandoned wharehouse from 1905 before it become a cultural park today (Parque Fundidora), Ramon and i did a total Analog Synth live set there in 1996 using using a couple of Moog Synths, Oberheims, analog sequencers and modified drum machines.
enjoy
De 1988 a 1996 estuve involucrado en varias agrupaciones de música electrónica post-industrial en Tijuana antes de empezar con fussible y posteriormente el "Colectivo Nortec" en1999.
Al mismo tiempo estaba trabajando en otro proyecto con Ramon Amezcua en un tinte mas Analógico, Ambient y ruido(Monithor), proyecto que luego se convirtiera en "Latinsizer" como proyecto solo y Bostich con Pointloma, este video lo recuperé de unas cintas perdidas de una tocada en Monterrey en 1996 en donde tocamos en el parque fundidora cuando estaba abandonado y se utilizaba para hacer fiestas de música electrónica y ahora es un museo y parque cultural(así pasa), en esta tocada es una ejecución de varios instrumentos analógicos(moogs, oberheims,y otros) con algunas cajas de ritmos modificadas y secuenciadores de step, espero lo disfruten, saludos

MOOG ROGUE
Cheap Moog bass? Some may say so... An even cheaper version of this synth was made by Realistic (known as the Concertmate MG-1). The Rogue has a decent Moog filter with an external input and syncable VCO's. Still it does have its limitations in design and synthesis capabilities. Very basic and easy to use, the Rogue is an inexpensive place to get good Moog sounds! It is very similar in fact, to the Moog Taurus which is a bass pedal synthesizer system. Unfortunately the Rogue shows no sign of MIDI or patch memory. It is used by Peter Gabriel, Add N To (X), 808 State, Latinsizer, Stereolab, Mr. Oizo and KMFDM.
MOOG SOURCE
Moog's Source was their first to offer patch memory storage as well as some other new features. It boasted 16 memory locations so you could finally save and recall your synth patches. A casette-tape jack was also implemented to transfer your patches to and from an external tape and free up the on-board memory for additional new patches. But in an effort to modernize with the eighties, the Moog had replaced all buttons, knobs and sliders with flat-panel membrane buttons and a single data-wheel assignment format. At the time, this may have seemed far-out, but in all actuality it is the Source's downfall.
Parameters are edited not with hands-on sliders and knobs but by assigning a selected parameter to the dedicated data wheel. This is very tedious and does not allow for true hands-on tweaking during performances nor can you adjust different parameters simultaneously or while playing. These days, the membrane buttons don't always seem to work quite right either. However, those famous monophonic Moog sounds are still inside this synth which has two fat analog oscillators and the legendary 24 dB Moog filter.
The Source has been used by Tangerine Dream, Jan Hammer, Depeche Mode, Devo, Vince Clarke, New Order, Ultravox, Josh Wink, Front Line Assembly, Moog Cookbook, Kitaro, Imperial Drag, The Cars, Phish, The Rentals, King Crimson, Blur, and Gary Numan.
OBERHEIM MATRIX 6
The Matrix 6R is the Matrix 6 without a keyboard, retaining its membrane programming interface. Oberheim later produced the Matrix 1000, which is essentially 1000 patches from the Matrix 6 in a 1-unit rack-module, preset and editable only through SysEx. For professional studio work or live on stage, both the Matrix 6 keyboard and rack-mount are excellent and versatile synths that make a great source of bright and punchy sounds, vintage analog pads, textures and ambient sounds. It is used by Orbital Apollo 440, Jimmy Edgar, Philip Glass, The Grid, Future Sound of London, Astral Projection, Latinsizer, The Shamen, Mouse on Mars, Tangerine Dream and Cirrus.
bostich y fussible
A Moog source, but nobody's even touching the damn thing?
Can these dudes actually PLAY?

Yes, we play, the video was in 1994, and the Source was secuenced, so dont need to touch it live, cheers

That is one pretty cool underground video!
Its great to see such passion for synths and electronic music back 11 years ago.
What did you do for power/electricity?
Drag a few petrol generators in there?
