Artist History Matthew came back from New York just as Chang needed help with a show as "cathode ray tube". From then on the two got together to discuss music and re-create the strange sounds of the mythical synthesizer the "Ampron Aubide." The story of the Ampron Aubade synth is reproduced here from the SynthMuseum website: Nothing is known about this monophonic synthesizer at all. No one I have spoken to has ever heard of it. The front panel seems to be labeled in French and there are no "U.L." stickers on the back like U.S. gear has (or the equivalent on gear made in other countries with hyperactive governments). The manufacturer of this machine, serial number 00009 (or, as my brother suggests, 60000), painted the circuit boards and components black to discourage reverse-engineering. Anyone out there who knows anything about this machine is urged to contact us; I have not tried to repair it yet, but schematics would be quite helpful.------ Dave Wilson Matthew and Chang had been looking for a name for their efforts for some time. Something that would ndicate their love of the unknown, and their quest for unheard music. What music is more unheard of than a mysterious synthesizer? The name stuck - corrupted just a bit by Chang's spelling - and with that they produced the songs on the EP.
