Laurie Jenkins
Laurie Jenkins recently got in touch with Time+Space about Ivory II Upright Pianos and when he mentioned he was working as a programmer for English Rock band Kasabian we obviously wanted to find out more about how they were using Synthogy’s highly acclaimed software…
Hi Laurie, thanks for speaking with us, first up, could you tell us about your background?
Hi – I first started out as a session drummer for loads of different bands and toured pretty much constantly (biog is on www.lauriedrums.com) as well as owning a studio and partners in a production company where we produce/write loads of different things from our own music – music for tv/film etc. Then I started getting calls from people I have worked with in the past to sort people’s live rigs or programming people’s live shows so kind of fell into what I am doing now by chance really – to be honest the industry is getting tougher and tougher, especially the session side so I am very happy where things are at the moment.

Ondrej Pochlyl
Last month composer Ondrej Pochyly performed an hour-long requiem at the Exeter Classical Music Event which had been composed entirely with virtual instruments. Cinesamples’ VOXOS Epic Virtual Choir was used extensively in the piece so we asked Ondrej to sum up his opinions of the software for our latest blog post.
Ondrej’s setup for the review:
Logic 9, Vienna Ensemble Pro (Decoupled), RME Baby Face, iMac i7Core, 12GB Ram, Vienna Suite, Kontakt 4 Player

We always enjoy hearing customers’ examples of their projects where they’ve incorporated sample libraries or virtual instruments from our brands but earlier this year we received a particularly interesting parcel from the United States.
Robert Hedin introduced us to Anarobik – the lead singer and ‘stage name’ of his electronic music projects who has been created using Zero-G’s Lola Vocaloid software. We caught up with Robert to find out why he chose to use Lola and how the software has morphed into Ana…

Davide Carbone
Rob Papen’s new virtual drum machine Punch may have been receiving some fantastic first class reviews in the music production press over the past couple of weeks but we wanted to know what the seasoned producers and DJs make of it. Cue Davide Carbone, Drum and Bass master and Co-Director of S:amplify which is an extensive network of renowned artists, composers, sound designers and DJs.
We were delighted when Davide agreed to review Punch and this is what he had to say…

Fans of Zero-G’s 2009 release Distorted Dancefloors are in for treat as producer Si Begg returns with another sample collection of experimental and cutting edge sounds in the form of Electro Glitch Essentials. We caught up with Si to find out more about the making of this library…
First up, please could you tell us about your music background?
The short version is this. Small boy who’s obsessed with Dr Who buys 7″ single of theme tune. His Uncle plays lots of Jean Michelle Jarre in the Volvo on family holidays and he grows up into a teenager who divides his time playing in bands and devouring all the electronic music he can find. Goes to see Gary Numan, listens to John Peel, discovers Acid House, discovers Stockhausen and starts buying cheap old analogue synths. Makes lots of experimental cut-ups and weird noises in make shift home studio. Starts releasing techno 12″s in mid 90s, remixes Leftfield, Ken Ishi and Arthur Baker amongst others, makes more releases mashing up all genres of electronic music, signs to Ninjatune and Mute records, makes lots more eccentric electronic music, tours the world, starts making music for TV and film as well as becoming something of an obsessive sound designer.
