Ape vs Synth

Ben from Australia sends this lovely picture of a chimp and a modular synth. He knows nothing about it. Anyone know more? (Captions also welcome...)


Comments:
"Are We Not Men?"
 
Also, what makes you so sure that the chimp knows nothing about the modular synth? :]
 
"Chuck me another patch cable - quick!"
 
Caption: HA HA! I don't own a tube amp!
 
"Gimme banana plug!"
 
My father swung through the branches of trees on vines
I swing through oscillators on cables.

same thing, really!
 
Vangelis 'furious' as Anderson steals his last Mu-Mu.
 
Tommy Lee should really stick with playing music.
 
Interesting that you're calling the chimp a "he"

have a closer look!
 
Oh No! Robin Williams broke into Moroder's house!?
 
what happened to his moog track suit??
 
The moog track suit is the funniest damned comment ever.
 
I dunno, the "banana plug" one's pretty great...

I nominate this as the worst comment ever (heard in Tubby's Kingston studio):

"You're playing in the wrong key, mon!"

pathetic...
 
Lead singer of the new retro progressive rock band, Emerson, Ape and Palmer.
 
actually there is a shadow, its just almost directly behind the damned dirty ape since they used a flash.
 
I'm sorry, your just not right for outr band, INXS
 
he should be breaking a bone
 
"in a break from the X-Factor, Simon Cowell discusses his love of analogue modulars"
 
wendy before she was walter.... sorry a little cruel
 
give a thousand chimps a thousand patchcords and 1000 moogs.... still wont sound as awful as Emerson Lake and Palmer on a bad day
 
there's a new opportunity for the software emulators.... model the effect of patching a VCO to a VCF through a primate... its a whole new challenge...
 
Chimp + Modular Moog = COMEDY GOLD
 
or as awful as ELP on a GOOD DAY. HEYO. buy seriously, ELP is really bad, I don't care how big your modular is, or if you have a GX-1, they really fucking blow.
 
was gonna really slag off ELP... but have live triple album i want to shift... at least one of the discs has never been played since 1976
 
Do they also do the chimp as a VSTi?
 
I'm sure he can't program this darn thing much better than I do.

Wasn't it Ministry who used a chicken to configure a mixing table? I'd like to have a chimp programming my synths.

The name of the band? Primate Scream, of course.
 
I'm voting for the 'gimme banana plug' line by David Kristian. Btw David, your music is great :)
 
I don't even make tarnce! HA HA!
 
That's Bubbles!
 
I wonder if he's recording 'jungle' music
 
$#@! stupid illustrator! I asked you for a picture of a Moog and an ARP, not a Moog and an ape!
 
This is possibly from a Ben Folds music video. I have not seen the actual music video, only the making of on the Songs For Silverman bonus DVD.

The music video featured William Shatner and a chimp in a recording studio, with Ben Folds and his 2 cronies playing.
 
mtv news: "and here we are, live at the recording session for michael jacksons new album!"

Don't be so sure... AFAIK, chimp penis=very small.
 
I tried so hard to post this pic so you could see it…
 
"Radiohead payed their sound designer peanuts"

Or (for the regulars)

Ok I see Dave Stewart and the modular but where is Annie Lennox and the Akai S612?

Or

When Quincey Jones suggested "the sound of bubbles on a modular synth" for a track on Thriller, Michael Jackson was happy to oblige.
 
if i can work with a modular, shure a chimp can do to.
 
I don't know why everyone hates Bush so much, first I see him playing guitar, and now dancing in front of a synth! That Bushie guy is way hipper than I ever thought!

Now we know how Lee Perry got those wicked sounds on "Return of the Super Ape".
