Video of the Meek FM "Typographic Synthesizer"


If Moog worked for a type foundry...

Music and art is (among other things) what this blog is about, and as often as the two intermingle with each other I had never thought that analog synthesizers and typographic design could be married.

Well it has. Rob Meek and Frank Miller's invention of the Meek FM has taken the internets by storm and finally some video footage of the thing in action has come along for all of us to enjoy.


"Meek FM is an interpretation of type as sound. Using new software and the M.E.E.K. typographic synthesizer, the musician/designer develops sounds and typographic visuals in parallel."


A good way for the sound designer to break into type and vise versa. Personally, I wouldn't mind tweaking knobs instead of Bézier handles.
