  • This documentary shows how laborious and lengthy composing electronic music was - and what enormous (and expensive) technical effort was required. 1967 - recorded in the electronic music studio of the Siemens company in Munich. At the same time Robert Moog, Don Buchla, Peter Zinovieff and others developed the first synthesizers, which soon made electronic music accessible to (almost) everyone. But even if the technology we see in the documentary was outdated, the music that has been created in the early days of electronic music is still fascinating.
    The Siemens Studio got a place in the German Museum in Munich

    Slicked-back hair, serious look, black horn-rimmed glasses and a seriousness as if it were a matter of starting a nuclear reactor. And yet this was probably pure, adventurous fun for those involved. Just 60s.

    Ein phantastischer Beitrag. Wenn es eine Zeitmaschine gäbe, würde ich da hinreisen und mich als Praktikant bewerben. Der Geist dieser Musik umweht die Maschinerie noch, wenn man sie im Deutschen Museum besucht. Eine Tragödie, dass niemand es bisher geschafft hat, den Vocoder korrekt zu verkabeln, wenn ich richtig informiert bin.

    The french must have had so much more fun. Here, it's all about mathematical precision, the illusion of being in control of the material world. Splitting the atom, splicing the tapes - it's all the same. The museum in Munich, where you can still see most of the Siemens-Studio beautifully preserved, is absolutely worth a visit. Experiencing this in person and bootleg-recording some snippets on the educational modular system they have on display there inspired my album "The Grey Room".

    Danke für dieses Juwel. Das erinnert mich alles an meine frühen Jahre, als ich noch Lochkarten gestanzt habe, aber schon der elektronischen Musik verfallen war. Man könnte meinen, so Musik zu machen wäre in erster Linie Arbeit gewesen, dabei war es purer Spaß.
    Das hier gezeigte Know-How tut auch den heutigen Touchpad- und Plugin-Virtuosen gut. Es wirkt sich positiv auf das Ergebnis aus wenn man weiß, wie Tonerzeugung und Akustik im Kern funktionieren. 😊
    Noch einmal vielen Dank.
    PS: Hat der Film ein Coipyright?

    The beginning of "no input mixing"😎🎚️and concrete music!! At that time studios for electronicusic looked like labs or spaceships...

      Concrete music goes back to the 1940s, I think, with people like Pierre Schaeffer experimenting with the new medium of magnetic tape. But yes, those early sound labs are awesome!

    At school we had music teachers with the same looks and attitudes. They hated us so much because we preferred R&B over Stockhausen and Schoenberg. 🥸

    All this incredibly tedious work and massive equipment in some basement storage rooms with no access to sunlight, while their peers danced on the river banks or roofs to Motown records.

    • @thomasmartin7524
      @thomasmartin7524 Рік тому +4

      Nope, that was basic research. The goal was among others to synthetically recreate the sound of natural sources. To do this, they had to understand the interaction of the overtones and first build this equipment. It's a little more cumbersome than pushing a bunch of sliders on a touchscreen in a VST and feeling like Vangelis or Trevor Horn. They laid the groundwork for all the fancy shit we can use today. 😏

    I can't imagine who paid for this. In the opinion of official autorities of the time it must have been musically, artistically worthless. And even for the time the effort vs. result was absurd. 1967 was the year of the first Buchla Synth and Morton Subotniks "Silver Apples of the Moon".
