The Dubreq Stylophone



The Dubreq Stylophone is a miniature stylus operated synthesizer invented in 1967 by Brian Jarvis. It consists of a metal keyboard played by touching it with a stylus - each note being connected to a cheap voltage-controlled oscillator via a different-value resistor - thus closing a circuit. Some three million Stylophones were sold, mostly as children's toys. Rolf Harris appeared for several years as the Stylophone's advertising spokesman in the United Kingdom.

THE ONLY UFO FILM FULLY FUNDED BY THE US AIR FORCE

THE ONLY UFO FILM FULLY FUNDED BY THE US AIR FORCE

I didn't know about this...
in the Early Seventies, These guys were invited to a US Naval Base to discuss making a film about disclosure, They were given access to classified top secret footage and material, then at the last minute, changed their mind, and took the film footage back, but encouraged them to describe it as a 'hypothetic scenario'
So they, and Supposedly, they inserted a few seconds of actual footage in the landing segment...this video gives more information and shows the footage, the
film being discussed is below in it's entirety

"This is a cool idea: The August issue of Otona No Kagaku (Japanese for Adult Of Science) will be a synth themed edition called the Synthesizer Chronicle.
It will feature interviews from Ryuichi Sakamoto, Tomita and Fumitaka Anzai
With the magazine comes the SX 150 Gakken Analog Synthesizer - which appears to be a basic battery-powered synth toy!

Last year, the magazine published a theremin issue.


If anybody knows anything about availability of this magazine outside of Japan, let us know in the comments!"
