copperleaves | February 04, 2011 | 1 likes, 0 dislikes

Alexander Nevsky is one of the great heros of Russian history. He is reputed to have driven an army of Livonian Knights (German "warrior monks") from Russia in the year 1241. The decisive battle was on the ice of the frozen lake Peipus (in Russian "Chudsko-Pskovskoe ozero") in the spring of 1242.

The Russian film director, Sergei Eisenstein, made a movie of this epic battle in 1938 and hired composer Sergei Prokofiev to write the music for it. ALEXANDER NEVSKY is considered by many experts to be one of the great movies of all time, and the piece of music in this video (transcribed for theremin) is from that film.

Following the Battle On The Ice, there are hundreds of dead soldiers lying in the snow and a young maiden walks out onto the frozen lake looking for her lover, and sings, "I shall go across the snow-clad field, I shall fly above the field of death, I shall search for valiant warriors there....."

The composer Prokofiev had spent some time in Hollywood in the 1930's, and had made a study of the new science of soundtracking for film. Director Eisenstein said of Prokofiev, "He is a man of our time and a man of the screen. He understands how the screen can reveal not only the outer appearance of things but their inner nature as well. He is able to dress objects in sound and instrumentation, bringing them to life with shifts in tone and timbre, adding an emotional dimension to images through his orchestration".

Prokofiev later took his score for ALEXANDER NEVSKY and made a cantata out of it for mezzo-soprano, chorus and orchestra. The interesting thing about the composition is that the music, as powerful as it is, does not overshadow the film. It complements it perfectly while remaining one of the composer's most enduring works.

The theremin in this video is the 1929 RCA that was once the property of the late Hollywood thereminist, Dr. Samuel Hoffman."

It was made with Hollow Sun's terrific Hammond Novachord instrument, Roland Gaia and Strymon's wonderful El Capistan tape echo. The arppegiated pattern is the Gaia run through the El Capistan tape echo pedal. Everything else is Novachord"

"The “orange and black” 2601 is the last 2600 version produced by ARP. It is the most reliable version, an update to the more common grey version. None of the modules are set in epoxy, making it more serviceable in the long run...

Here are a list of the specific repairs:
4 slider tips were repaired with identical replacements.

NOS power connector was re-fitted (comes with original cable)
NOS handle was fitted (quasi-identical)
NOS keyboard connector was fitted
Some Polyfusion-specific internal normalization was removed
Polyfusion front panel gate input removed and capped
2 Polyfusion connection inputs removed from the left side and patched
(one tiny hole on upper right panel left (see pics)
new orange LED in the power indicator
New capacitors on the power supply
Tolex on both cases was cleaned and refinished.

Additionally, my tech performed some great modifications :

Filter upgrade :
the 4072 filter was upgraded to correct the “error” causing the filter to open to a maximum of around 12k, now it's nice and bright when fully open (28k apparently). The filter kept its original character, just with extended range. The upgraded 4072 is a very nice sounding filter, just as good and useful as the previous moog-like filter Arp used, but a bit more unique and exclusive!

Reverb upgrade :
The reverb tank was changed top a looong type 9 NOS replacement. The first 2600s' had this type of tank and are known for their longer, fuller reverb.

The original reverb tanks were made by Hammond, their reverb division then took the name Accutronics. Thankfully I was able to purchase a remaining american made Accutronics tank (now made in Korea). The original small tank is included in the auction as well. My tech also performed a modification to lower the noise floor, and made the connections balanced using good quality cables (Canare). I am a fan of spring reverb and own a few and was very pleased with how this one sounded! The tank has been mounted vertically to avoid interference with the speakers at max volume but can still occur if you try hard. These mods, along with new caps on the power supply and proper calibration, greatly improve the 2600's signal-to-noise ratio." Additional pics here.

"This instrument was created as part of our latest dance spectacle Absorbe-moi

The starting idea was to create an instrument dealing with sound synthesis and reacting directly with the movement of the 2 dancers. Their movement is tracked live and analyzed by another computer, then the main characteristics of it (X position, Y position, Height, Width, X gravity, Y gravity, speed and luminosity) is smoothed and transmitted as normalized data into the synth and used (of course with some latency) to modulate any selectable parameter of the sound in real time (external modulation sources 1 to 8).

Inspired by some of the tools I regularly use and love (Access Virus TI, Nord Modular G2, Native Instruments FM8 and Massive) I soon began to build my dream synth, with all the features I wanted, some of those only partially available in the products mentioned above.

"The Korg M1R is pretty much an M1 without the keyboard. It can do everything the M1 can. The layout is similar to the M1 and it even has the M1's built in sequencer.

The M1R EX is a M1R with double the internal Multisound ROM (8 meg vs. 4 meg). This is the same Multisound ROM found in the T-Series. The M1R EX was sold new and as an upgrade for the standard M1R. Because of this the synth may or may not be labeled as an EX model.

Since the M1R EX is the top of the line rackmount synth in the M/T Series line it is sought after by those who want the "M/T Sound" but don't have space for the full sized board."

"Ideal for Ultra-High Speed Pitch Shifting and Superior Sound Quality
The RPS-10 is a single unit which combines digital pitch shifting and delay functions in its compact dimensions. The heart of this machine is a newly-developed high-performance custom LSI which allows the RPS-10 to have a flat frequency response of up to 15kHz as well as ultra-high speed shifting with virtually no difference between the direct and effect sounds. Pitch shift is continuously variable between -1 to +1 octaves. Along with harmony effects, wide-ranging sounds can be created, from pitch-shifted chorus effects to octave effects. There is even a tuner output terminal for instant visual confirmation of the amount of pitch shift when connected to a Chromatic Tuner (TU-12 etc.). In addition, a keyboard control allows the amount of pitch shift to be controlled from a keyboard which is connected to the unit. Delay time is variable over the range of 25-800ms. Applicable to both modes is a INV position to produce a "reversed tape" sound." from Bossarea.com

"Second only to Vox in popularity during the 1960s, Italian manufacturer Farfisa is probably the only other really well-known purveyor of Combo Organs. While Vox was the most often seen organ with popular bands (Animals, DC-5, Paul Revere, Monkees, etc, etc, etc), There were probably at least as many, if not more, Farfisas cranking out the same music in garages and dance halls.

This particular example, serial number 6274/230, is one of Farfisa's drawbar VIP's, and is in very nice condition. These often sell for over $699, so take advantage of this No Reserve Auction and get this one for cheap!

Feature-wise, the VIP-233 is pretty similar to the other "early" drawbar VIPs, but its styling, with the all brushed aluminum surfaces, is noticeably different. Farfisa organs were based on transistor accordions. The Farfisa company was a merger, and they were highly known for their production of accordions in Italy. In 1962 they produced the first transistor accordion. A few years later, after the success of the Vox Continental, Farfisa realized that portable organs were in high demand, so they took their accordion technology and made it into a combo organ. Thus the Farfisa Combo Compact was introduced in 1964." Full description pulled from combo-organ.com
