The Putney Synthesizer - VCS3

Just watching Sky Arts on Trailblazers of Electronic Music and there was a mention of the Putney Synthesizer, the first portable Synthesizer.  It was invented by Zinovieff who was living in Putney in a house with a garden that ran down to The Thames.

Read all about it in Sofka Zinovieff's novel "Putney", Based on her childhood in Deodar Road - a good read!

Peter Zinovieff was a friend of my PhD supervisor (Dr David Bell) when they were both studying geology at Oxford. He used to talk about his student antics with awe!
