"Benton fingerpaints with video" - Trilby Schreiber

Benton is releasing videos to demonstrate how he uses custom video synths to make his art. Here's his most recent demo:

Benton C Bainbridge demos the LZX Cadet IX VCO module

Benton assembles synthesizers from contemporary modules that carry on the work of pioneering creative technologists like Dan Sandin, Steve Rutt and Bill Etra. Bainbridge was first introduced to video synthesizers at the late, legendary Experimental Television Center in Owego, NY, where he used custom tools designed by Nam June Paik and Shuya Abe, Dan Sandin, and Dave Jones. Dave told Benton of his plans to release his decades of video tools in the Eurorack format, after which Bainbridge began building synths with prototype modules by Dave Jones Design and LZX Industries.
