this is great , but the Jupiter 8 portion was more about Howard Jones and his thoughts about music, not really much about the wonderful JP8
ReplyDeleteAgreed w/ anonymous re: the JP8 section. Otherwise, have been enjoying the series.
ReplyDeleteAlso, kudos for the honest Proteus inclusion. Time has not treated that module well, but I think it's necessary to remind people that it wasn't terribly easy/cheap to get a portable & decent piano sound in the late 80's.
I'm a bit disappointed with the lack of depth this countdown is going into. But, if you're going to make a countdown like this, you'll have to be pretentious anyway. People can argue up and down all day about what is the Top-20.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you know or have used these instruments, then you can understand .. but for a novice you don't get enough of a reason why.
I'm disappointed with this series so far. The Background music is too dense to distinguish the synth in question. Why not just turn the thing on and bang on it so people can hear it raw? Waste of a good concept. And weeks between these? They're so thin with material, just bang em out all at once!
ReplyDelete"Just bang em out"
ReplyDeleteYou've obviously never made a film before.
no, anon, he has made movies before. mostly in his movies he's mugging to the camera and has his arms flapping around everywhere and he's banging it out.
ReplyDeletethere is a bug on their site, can't download the video for

The idea was to create 20 individual films, some about the instruments and others about the people who have used them or the engineers that developed the range or other things of interest surrounding the instrument. I have written further notes on the site to add more depth to the piece.And there are already plenty of sources if you want to know indepth technical details...to be perfectly honest this is more about romance and entertainment. I want it to be shamelessly nostalgic, sometimes irreverent, humerous and even ironic about electronic music and the instruments and the musicians. A subject that I have been passionate about for most of my life.But have often found portrayed as humorless and way too serious. Which is not how I hear the music. Hopefully most viewers will understand this new concept and enjoy it. Many thanks for watching.
