about

Scot Solida has been making electronic music for over 40 years, much of it under the name of Christus and the Cosmonaughts.
For the past two decades, he has written articles and tutorials in the subject of music technology for Computer Music, Future Music, Electronic Musician, MusicRadar, to name a few. Additionally, his samples and patches have been included in products from Apple, Computer Music magazine, Arturia, LinPlug, PPG, VirSyn, PSP Audioware, Polyend and many more. Now retired, he spends his time in a secluded farmhouse, patching synths, practicing the lute, and drawing whimsical pictures.

lyrics

I became aware of EMS instruments through the music of Roxy Music, Hawkwind, and Pink Floyd. However, it was hearing the sounds of Heldon, Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze that cemented my desire to own a VCS3 of my own.
Though it is without question the instrument I love most, my relationship with the VCS3 is often contentious. Its design quirks sometimes lead to surprising results that can be inspiring. On the other hand, it has been making music for far longer than I myself have and its age is revealed in sometimes frustrating ways.
Nevertheless, it has been a constant companion for many long years and despite the occasional need for servicing my particular unit is fairly stable once calibrated. I have no problem playing it melodically from an attached DK2 keyboard.
Musically, the VCS3 provides a unique texture to any track. The joystick makes it ideal for long, shifting timbres, and the filter has a lovely, almost biological quality. It is the least synthetic sounding synthesizer I've ever owned, while remaining undeniably electronic.
