Surf’s up! It’s time to wax the board and catch a wave!
Optigan.com is proud to present Surf Rock, featuring the
vintage sounds of the 1960’s surf scene. For this music
program disc, we’ve gone into the recording studio with a
couple of SoCal’s best surf rockers.

Reverb enthusiast Matt Quilter is one-half of the guitar
assault from the award-winning Reventlos, whose quirky
instro albums alternately intrigue and horrify surf music
purists. In addition to his duties on guitar, he co-produced
the documentary feature Pounding Surf! an insider’s look
at the SoCal surf music scene from 1961 to the present
day. For the Optigan® session, he chose from his arsenal a
Fender Stratocaster played through a blond Fender
Tremolux and Reverb unit, both from 1963.

Lee “Kix” rarely strays from playing Death-Surf / Afro-Billy
music with the Reventlos. However in days past he has
recorded with world famous instrumental guitar gods, The
Ventures. As a veteran of many Linn Drum sessions, Kix
is no stranger to having his drums sampled for posterity.
The Optigan® session was recorded with vintage 1960’s
Oaklawn Camco drums, 20×14 bass drum and 14×5.5
metal snare. T he 12×8 and 14×10 toms used in the session
were obtained when Kix was a Los Angeles Camco endorsee in the mid-70’s.
