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".
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.
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?
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!
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".
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. 😏

Hainbach would love this! 😅
He does!

Ah the sound of art...LOCHSTREIFENHERSTELLUNG AM HALBAUTOMATISCHEN LOCHSTREIFENGERÄT
what
I don't speak German, but this is very intriguing to watch. Thanks for uploading this. 😊😁💙

what a stark depiction of their process.
I love this one, thanks for sharing
Fantastisch, danke fürs hochladen!
This is fantastic! Danke fürs Teilen!
Klasse Dokumentation. Vielen Dank fürs Teilen 🌻
Thank you for this!
This is like an Elektron sequencer, only really cumbersome, huge, and requiring lots of paperwork 😂
also the synth sounds very good to
Dankeschön
v important to compose electronic music in a suit back then
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.
absolutely amazing ... is that stockhausen experimenting ?

Wahre Worte! Medienkompetenz erwirbt man nicht, indem man auf Touchscreens herumwischt. ;-)
Nerds in suits. Großartige Doku!
Makes me wish early Kraftwerk would have documented their process like this!
These guys are behind the Yoko school of music
Nice😎
ok ngl that Vocoder Would Sound Amazing
dam Those VCO I'm jealous only have the grandmother moog In front of me
...wenn ich den "VCV Rack" starte und versuche damit zu musizieren ^^
The beginning of "no input mixing"😎🎚️and concrete music!! At that time studios for electronicusic looked like labs or spaceships...
actually now they do

Can we get English subtitles on this?
Turn subtitles on, then in the video player settings, click auto-translate
good old PWM Synthesis😎
4:48 Matrix Agents Vibes here.
For my english speakers... Put your subtitles on.

Hello, great, I also compose music, with the help of programs.
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".
seems like they have a metric shit ton of equipment and technology for no more than they're getting out of it

too much acid
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. 🥸
