Walter Christian Rothe : The belgian music

on 36 15 MOOG

Anyone ID the modular? It doesn't quite look like a Moog. Formant?

  1. No, it's an E.E.F.

    "ELK Muziek" was a city-subsidised DIY electronics & electronic music school in Antwerp - Belgium, late 70ties until mid-80ties.

    Under guidance of several engineers and teachers, people could learn about e-music and learn how to build your own modular synthesizer.

    One could either study at the school itself, or buy the synth kits and build it at home.

    ELK Muziek's founder - Eric. E. Feremans (E.E.F.), later became director of the experimental department in Antwerp's Conservatory.

    One of the teachers in ELK Muziek was ir. Wim Verheyen, with whom I later build the Aemit modular (as mentioned here a couple of posts ago).


    The system Walter is using here, is one of many build, but it's not his.
    Walter and I founded the band Pillion in 1980, which had some succes in the Berlin School genre of e-music. Pillion has been disbanded just recently...

    Unfortunately Walter had a brain seizure last November, and is still in recovery. His left arm is paralyzed, but his left leg is healing well.
