Serge-O-Voxes //// voices for the Serge IV

"SERGE-O-VOXES – voices for the Serge" is bursting out as a companion to the second installment in our I.T.A.T.I.O.M. series dealing with Inventors Talking About Their Instruments Or Modules. Gathering 80 compositions to celebrate "the Serge synth" this mammoth of a collection was curated by Doug Lynner and Philippe Petit, under the guidance of Serge Tcherepnin.

Adopting such a title became obvious when Serge Tcherepnin told Philippe:
Searching for names for my synth back in ’72, “Serge-O-Vox” and “Tcherepnin Synthesizer” came up. Then, thanks to the way I funded purchasing the parts, panels, PCBs for the first 20 synth, we came up with the name “People’s Synthesizer”. The serge was the first crowd-funded DIY synth. Anyone with $600 was able to obtain a kit."
