"'Sounds vom Synthesizer' was a radio show from the German station HR3 (Hessischer Rundfunk in Frankfurt). It was aired every two weeks from January 1983 to December 1986. The show was moderated first by Volkmar Krammarz and later by Rainer Sauer.
The show presented music made with synthesizers, run interviews with artists in the studio in Frankfurt (i.e. Propaganda, Klaus Schulze, Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Howard Jones, Michael Rother, Ash Ra Tempel, Kraftwerk, Art of Noise or Spliff to name a few).
In addition specials like the regular series 'Per Anhalter durch die Synthesizergeschichte' (The Hitchhiker's Guide to Synth History), 'We are Producers' or the 'Electronic Poll' (Reader Poll) have been part of the show.
Even synth tests or reports from Musikmesse FFM have been sent in the later shows, Equipment rangin from Kurzweil K250 to sampler cards for C64 or Apple ][.
Rainer Sauer is working these days for Radio Jena, where the old series is aired again every Saturday. Under the name 'Synthesizer Studio' it is available as a online stream from Webradio ZONO.

Hey, I have that Ralf und Florian record in the picture (and the 2 Kraftwerk albums with the traffic cones).
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about ripping some vinyl but I forgot about these :)
I was present at the first "White Waves" meeting somewhere in the south of Frankfurt/M in Germany.
ReplyDeleteRainer Sauer also released a LP with someone else. I am not 100% surre if it was named "White Waves" too. I can't reach my old LPs at the moment. But I do remember he used some parts of Klaus Schulze musik as backing for his tracks. He was later brought to the court for this. This documented in the early Klaus Schulze fan magazine "The Circle". Sorry, these are also at my cellar and out of reach for me right now.
The "The Hitchhiker's Guide to Synth History" used the BBC radio play motive of the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Univers" which is a classic to many people I know. just my 42 cents ;-)
very cool, will check it out on the stream
