    Translation from dutch:
    0:13 The tone you can hear comes from one of the twelve boxes you can see here and it is possible to get more tones from the other boxes, in order to form accords. I can show this now.
    0:31 Here a low tone, here a high tone, and here an even higher tone.
    0:37 This accord consisting of 4 tones I have recorded on a tape recorder
    0:43 And I think I have enough, so I can switch this off
    0:50 The composer indicates the way to edit the accord
    1:00 I want to show you this while this magneto phone is running by rewinding and fast forwarding of the tape
    1:08 This way the pitch of this accord changes
    1:10 I have recorded this on the tape recorder and by cutting a little piece of it also by indication of the composer of course and by joining the ends together you get a loop
    1:26 And I can play back this loop on a magneto phone so this sound will be repeated
    1:32 Here is this loop that is recorded on a tape recorder and I will show you how this sound is repeated
    1:48 And we have the possibility to duplicate the sound we just heard and adding it by this machine
    2:11 Besides electric sounds we can record natural sounds and cutting a loop of it
    2:17 Of this I will show you some examples
    2:20 I have here a sound of a alarm clock a foot step a wriggeling like figure and a tower clock

    This is fantastic to see the two gentlemen that made a recording I have admired since childhood. Anyone remember the opening theme music to WOR TVs, was it Science Fiction Theater? This was in the early to mid 1960's. I think the name of the song on that LP I have is Song of the Moon Maid. Thank you for your very much appreciated post.

    When I was working at the tv 📺 I used to record tones at different speeds and editing for hours it was so much fun then I added images. But that was not all when I was a kid a I had nine tape recorders and used to do a lot of experiments. I love it I want to have some modular eurorack synthesizer

    Once in an interview, Ralf Hutter, spoke about the influence of arrangements futuristic jazz Disselvet, as well as intrudution effects exploited by Ray Scott in his música.But all hampered by the lack of an electronic rhythmic, and he and Florian They took a long time to develop, such as electronic beat and even instruments nonexistent.

      Bebe y Barron son parte del conjunto de pioneros y pilares de la Música Electrónica junto a otros como Dissevelt y Raymond Scott, son ello quienes crean las primeras bases, moldes y sofisticación de la Música Electrónica (Post Concreta, Moog, Experimental & Soundtrack) allanando el camino para Kingsley, Derbishyre, Hogsond, Garson, Cecil, Hyman, Perrey, Lasry, Carlos...(entre otros de la 2da ola de productores y desarrolladores de la Electrónica 60s).
      El trabajo de Bebé y Barron (E. Soundtrack) definitivamente empieza a evolucionar la Música Concreta y es parte del inicio de la Música Electrónica.

  • @kdegru
    @kdegru 12 років тому +1

    The idea of looping sound tracks is not new to the pioneering efforts of Kid Baltan and Tom Dissevelt shown here in 1959. The recording medium they used was newer (magetophone) but it seems to me the film industry had the capability to this kind of thing using optical sound recordings on film and playing them back on film phonographs/dubbers. If Mel Blanc was singing in harmony with himself it was done with multi-tracking on photographic sound tracks until magnetic sound on film in the 1950's.

      Correcto...el House, Techno, Trance (entre otros) son géneros electronicos de la EDM 80s (2da Fase / Ramificacion 1981-1989)
      La EDM 80s es la 2da etapa del EDM Concreto 70s (1ra Fase / 1977-1980) la cual se compone de los géneros primarios y matrices NRG (HI-NRG), Synthpop y Electro...el pionero, padre y fundador del EDM Concreto es Giorgio Moroder.
      Ahora el EDM Concreto al igual que las bases electrónicas de los productores y máximos desarrolladores de la electrónica de los 70s: Moroder, Jarre, Lacksman, Tangerine, Dreams, YMO, Schulze, Vangelis, Faltermeyer, Tonet, Gizzi, Pinhas, Martín W. & Ian C...(solo por mencionar algunos) se forja directamente de la misma Música Electrónica Post Concreta, Moog, Experimental & Soundtrack de finales del 50s, 60s e inicios del 70s: Kingsley, Derbishyre, Hogsond, Garson, Cecil, Hyman, Perrey, Lasry, Carlos...y uno de los pioneros y pilares en iniciar este movimiento electronico son Tom Dissevelt y Raymond Scott los cuales empezaron a sofisticar y evolucionar la Música Concreta (Schaffer).
      La Música Concreta es el inicio.
      Esta es la verdadera ruta de la Música Electrónica hasta el House.
      PD: El Electro Funk fue el que entró en síntesis con la EDM a partir del 77 y la escena Disco nutriendo más los géneros electronicos de la EDM 80s: House, Techno, Synthpop, NRG, Freestyle, Italo, New Beat, Trance, Acid, Electro, Eurobeat...incluido la base electrónica primaria de la "ebm" y lo más sofisticado de la Electro Industrial.
      El Progressive Rock o el Krautrock de Kraftwerk quedan en la última fila y en el EDM, el desarrollo y la evolución de la Música Electrónica son irrelevantes.

    Era el tiempo de Dissevelt quien le daría el cargo de desarrollo a Gershon Kinsley y Delia Derbishyre y estos a Moroder y Krafwerk naciendo en los 70s el EDM y sus primeros estilos HI-NRG (Moroder) y Synthpop (Kraftwerk)...
