Legendary Producer Malcolm Cecil Dead at 84

Unfortunately, we have received news that legendary producer and musician Malcolm Cecil has recently passed away. Malcolm Cecil may not be a musician that was super popular, but he made a huge contribution to 70s and 80s music.

He was the producer for some of the biggest names in music. He produced albums for Quincy Jones, Randy Newman, Joan Baez, and most notably Stevie Wonder! There are a lot of songs and albums that Malcolm had an effect on that you may listen to daily! He create some of the most influential sounds and songs and helped many artists reach a great level of success in their careers.

However, this Malcolm Cecil also contributed a lot to the world of synthesizers and electronic music. He was one of the first producers to start using the analog synthesizer, which he took quite a liking to. Over time, he constructed his own synthesizer called the "The Original New Timbral Orchestra" or the TONTO.

This cockpit looking analog synthesizer is one hell of a machine and it was used by Malcolm in many recordings to create a lot of great music. He also worked with synthesizer company Moog on a number of occasions to create new and interesting instruments and synthesizer technology.

Music lost a great musician with the sad passing of Malcolm Cecil. He will be missed and his music will be remembered. All of his music can be found on YouTube or streaming services if you are interested in listening, and you can go to Wikipedia to see the albums that he helped create!

Beginnings: The Ferrari 328

Beginnings: This is the beginning of something beautiful. It is the start of a new community for those who love the art and design of the past and all it has to offer. The cars, the art, the music, and all the vintage design that you could ever want. I have always been interested in the past, specifically in the designs. The cars were beautiful and loud, or elegant and smooth. Then there was the music, there was the Rock and Roll, the Blues, the Jazz, and so much more!

The Fiat Panda is the Perfect Off-Road Toy

The Fiat Panda: The Fiat Panda is a small and fearless off-roader that will most likely be able to take you anywhere that you want it to. Not quite as vintage as some of our other articles but I am sure that this 90s creation will impress you and, by the end of this article, I am sure that you too will want one.

They had previously designed similar cars that focused on a very utilitarian sense of design and function. The car was supposed to be an easy to use, go anywhere, small sized car that was also supposed to be inexpensive. I am excited to say that not only did the Panda check all those boxes but it also went above and beyond. While the car was originally designed as a car that you could use for all sorts of act...
