WHITE STAR (1983) KORG PE-2000 ELKA Rhapsody PPG Modular Oberheim OB-X


YouTube via cosmocorps2000. Note Dennis Hopper is in the cast per below.
"Scenes from WHITE STAR by Roland Klick (1983)

Released in USA as LET IT ROCK


Plot:
Dennis Hopper plays the sordid music manager Kenneth Barlow.
Moody Mudinsky (Terrance Robay) is a young and naiv synth musician which believs on Barlow.
But Barlow thinks that the public isn't interested into Moody's music, and so he provokes fake riots and assaults in believe to push Moody's career. At the end, Moody recognizes how inability Barlow is.

About the scenes:
Moody plays his first gig in an punk shed (Barlow knew that the punks doesn't like Moody's synth music and initiated an riot) which ends in an free-for-all.

Then Moody left the alligator studios and pack his synths in the believe, that Barlow will push his career.

Moody works now in an professional music studio.

Frustrated about the fact, that Barlow never achieve any profitable gig, Moody sits drugged in front of the PPG Modular, unable to play any note."

I added this to the Synths in TV and Film post.

Update via Qwave in the comments: "Notice one of the top rare PPG Sonic Carrier modular versions is in the top row of this PPG modular. See 3:18 till the end. You easy notice the absent of patch point. Also notice the well known white PPG pushbuttons."
