Product Description

This is a charity auction that we are hosting at the request of Adrian Utley of Portishead. Adrian asked if we'd help him sell a Portishead synth to raise money for humanitarian purposes. Soundgas are not charging commission so 100% of the funds raised will be paid direct to Adrian for him to donate to the charity of his choice.

There's more info on his instagram and we'll add a link to him playing all the sounds once he's posted it.

Message from Adrian Utley:

"I’m auctioning this Moog Little Phatty Synth on the Soundgas website who are not taking commission so ALL the money we make will go to MAP Medical Aid for Palestinians who sorely need as much help as they can possibly get in this terrible situation. I'm hoping we can raise a good amount from this. And we can all donate too. Every bit helps.

It's my main synth from our Portishead tours over the last 10 years and has all the sounds I've made and used on those tours. (I use a Korg Mono/Poly also for a couple of polyphonic sounds.) The sounds include:

- Machine Gun - Bass and Siren,
- The Rip... A couple of variations I used.
- We Carry On.
- One of my Theremin sounds used on various tunes
- "Chuck D" is a sound I quickly made in the dressing room with headphones when we realised that Chuck D would join us on stage for a break in the middle of Machine Gun. It's sort of like the sample of Fred Wesley and the JBs intro for ‘Blow your Head’ that PE used on Public Enemy No 1.

These, like a lot of my sounds, are really simple and rely on mod wheel, pitch bend, filter movement and context. I use a delay and reverb pedals on them too."

Here’s some clips of it in use (also scroll down to see these!):
