Update: That's Christophe Harbonnier in this shot. He's playing an RSF Polykobol II. You can see another shot of it here and here on the RSF site. Also check out this Polykobol II page.Remember this post on Santurios featuring a shot of Christian Wittman of Lightwave?
Frederic sent me a link to this gallery featuring more shots of Lightwave along with the following:
"The name of LIGHTWAVE conjures up images familiar to fans of new technologies in music and elsewhere. France has a great tradition of experimentation with modern musical technology — everything from the catchy, contemporary electronics of Jean-Michel Jarre to the experiments of avant-garde composers working at the world-renowned IRCAM Research Center in Paris.
Lightwave uses these innovative techniques to go beyond the purely experimental, to create and communicate sound experiences for adventurous listeners."

Whoa - what's that synth he's tweaking in that pic?
ReplyDeleteHe's got an Obie to his left and what looks like a Kurz to his left, but I can't work out what his main synth is. Anyone?
