Holy cow...... this is amazing! I always wondered what the crazy genius behind Serge modular synthesizers was like as a person...... i'm blown away by how humble, self effacing and honest Serge Tcherepnin is! I got excited recently when i saw that some of his stuff was being made available for eurorack..... then it kinda died a death! Just like Buchla, i found his own systems were too expensive for me to afford....
one of the best clips on the net for us synth nerds! What a wonderful insight. I love this deliberate and open approach, that Mr. Tcherepnin shows us here. What a fascinating artist!
Hi Serge, I had the privilege to meet you in L.A during the late 70s and you built for me a wonderful system that I used very extensively for may years.
Wow, this is a beautiful interview, thank you so much! I started my DIY journey with Serge module kits from Elby in Australia and although I didn't have the stamina to build more than two modules, I'm still intrigued by the power and versatility of the designs.

Such a beautiful and engaging talk. Waveshaper TV, and Serge, Thank you for making this happen, perhaps this can be a part of a larger conversation regarding the magnificent journey of the Serge Modular Synthesizer. In all facets from it's inception into the current moment and moving forward. Perhaps a Serge Documentary . . . if not already considered. Thank you for all that you do.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks. It was difficult enough to convince him to do an interview at all. Also, there seems to be very little - almost no - archival photos etc available. It would be a tough documentary to make, and not something we plan to pursue.

Excellent interview. Wondered if you guys have considered interviewing Thomas Henry? I would love to see more interviews with circuit designers. Thanks!
I am trying so hard, not to splurge on Serge, because of the cost, but watching him talk about his experiences and gear, is giving me a serious synth woody.
It would have been amazing to be around this scene in the 60s and 70s, when the basic building blocks of synthesizers were being designed, built and integrated.

Yes, he is the son of Alexander Tcherepnin, and grandson of Nikolai Tcherepnin. The interview was filmed in the Paris apartment that Alexander lived and composed in, and there is an historical plaque outside to indicate that.
@@WaveshaperMedia wow! I played a few of his father's works in college and I admire his music a great deal. I've always wanted to learn more about A. Tcherepnin but now I'm curious about his son as well. Thank you for the reply.
I am so happy to finally find this channel after five years...
He deserves a feature film documentary , with him of course, i hope someone could make that
Awesome video - thank you so much!! Unbelieveble that you managed to get Serge in front of a camera!!! ;-)

Awesome! Very honored to be included in the soundtrack.

This is a wonderful series of videos, thanks Waveshaper TV.
Remarkable, thanks guys!
Amazing circuits! I play his instruments every day.
Excellent work, thank you!
Cool interview. I like when the synthesizer has a mind of its own. Interesting sounds emerge from these kind of modular synthesizers.
Thank you for this. An inspiring man.
It is so nice to see not only what is behind the modules but also who. And of course kudos for open schematics.
Thanks for this fantastic documentary! Seriously epic. 🌸
Excellent interview. Wondered if you guys have considered interviewing Thomas Henry? I would love to see more interviews with circuit designers. Thanks!
Great video and interview. Thank you for documenting Serge's work.
Amazing ! Love the Filter comment.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
"Its on film"
L♡L!
Nice job getting Todd and Subotnick on the soundtrack for this one! Great stuff
I am trying so hard, not to splurge on Serge, because of the cost,
but watching him talk about his experiences and gear, is giving me a serious synth woody.
What a great insight to his approach - makes me want to splurge on Elby's EuroSerge kits
Amazing interview.
What an inspiring video
Serge modulars a smooth slice of heaven in a box! A genius just like Moog and Buchla.
It would have been amazing to be around this scene in the 60s and 70s, when the basic building blocks of synthesizers were being designed, built and integrated.
That's my old Programmer sequencer with the blue push momentary buttons that I sold some years ago
Hes a brilliant man.
fantastic!
respect
WOW.
That track at the end credits is amazing. Who’s track is that?

Cool guy ...
Any relation to Nikolai or Alexander Tcherepnin?
Yes, he is the son of Alexander Tcherepnin, and grandson of Nikolai Tcherepnin. The interview was filmed in the Paris apartment that Alexander lived and composed in, and there is an historical plaque outside to indicate that.

weird last quote to end on
Dommage que je e comprenne pas l'anglais
That filter though.....
Thick and rich as homemade chocolate pudding.
+1 He is not using molded cords. Look Mum No Computer take note.
