Reggie Watts with Korg Little Bits on NPR Science Friday

It’s not every day you turn on the radio and hear dudes talking about Minimoogs and Alesis Andromedas. Imagine my surprise yesterday when I turned on NPR Science Friday and heard a guy talking about analog synthesizers.

The guests were Reggie Watts of Comedy Bang Bang and Little Bits product developer [url=“http://fridgebuzz.com”]Paul Rothman. They discussed the Little Bits kit, synthesis in general, analog v. digital, looping, recording, etc. Very worthwhile listen.

In addition to the discussion about synthesis, Reggie Watts improvised a short tune using the Little Bits kit. Science Friday posted a short video about Little Bits, and you can listen to the audio from the show [url=“http://www.sciencefriday.com/segment/12/13/2013/reggie-watts-builds-a-synthesizer-bit-by-bit.html”]here.
