Armin van Buuren, Fanboy
Jean Michel Jarre posted this photo of himself and Armin van Buuren, after his Amsterdam concert:
After the show, I met Armin van Buuren. He told me he was a great fan of mine and that my music inspired him to become a musician!
I felt really honored coming from one of the 2 or 3 best DJs in the world.
We discussed about how my music has influenced trance music, which is so huge all over the world, except in France where we are more electro. I definitely feel part of that trance family. Armin is also a great human being and we promised to each other to keep the contact and to collaborate on one project, one of these days.
It’s a great photo – because superstar DJ Armin van Buren has the same look on his face as every other musician meeting one of his heroes.
That look that says “This is so awesome that my brain can’t entirely process it!” Read more…

Synth.nl has published a nice series on building a PAIA 9700s modular synthesizer:
It was a lot of fun building and it was actually my first experience with a modular at all. And after building this I just wanted to build more. The kit supplied by PAIA is very complete and the instructions in the manual are very clear. I do think though that you need a bit of electronics experience to build this one.
Here’s a link to the pages in the series:
Synth.nl – Atmosphere
Atmosphere is a great new album of synth music album from Dutch synthesist Michel van Osenbruggen, aka Synth.nl.
Atmosphere is a concept album, based on the layers of atmosphere that surround the Earth, the various types of clouds that are encountered within each layer and the sounds of weather that might occur at each layer.
The tracks are arranged to follow the layers of the atmosphere, as if you were taking a trip from the earth into space.
The “atmosphere” concept isn’t heavy-handed, but serves as a framework for Osenbruggen’s music, which is electronic music in the synth music tradition of artists like Tangerine Dream, 80’s Jan Hammer & Jean Michel Jarre. The music has a symphonic electronica texture with an emphasis on traditional analog-style sounds. Read more…
