A collection of vintage synths and other studio gear previously belonging to Andrew Weatherall has been placed up for auction.
Taking place via Soundgas, an instrument resale platform, the auction has been organised with the support of the late DJ and producer’s family. Among the items that have been placed up for sale are a Sequential Circuits Pro-One, a Moog Rogue, and two Roland items: a Juno-60 and a Juno-106. There are also various drum machines, FX systems and pedals available.
In a note shared alongside the auction, Weatherall’s brother, Ian, wrote: “”We lost Andrew, totally unexpectedly, a little over five years ago and I know that time can be a great healer, but the massive sense of loss has not subsided at all. He was not only my older brother, but also my hero.
“We have kept his whole archive/possessions in storage, with plans for display/exhibition in the near future. Musical equipment does not appreciate being stored away, unused, for great lengths of time, and with that in mind we have instructed Soundgas, as experts in their field, to help us rehome Andrew’s collection.
“It is also very important to us that this equipment continues to be used, to create, to push boundaries, but above all, see the light of day, and be cherished by people who recognise Andrew’s contributions to music and beyond.
“This is what Andrew would have wanted, so if you are successful in purchasing anything sold here, please cherish the fact that you own something of Andrew’s. But also please keep creating, pushing boundaries, all without compromise!”
