New Book on Max Brand - MACHINES FOR THE OPERA. THE COMPOSER MAX BRAND

This one in via Brian Kehew:

"There is a new book on Max Brand, German composer who lived in the USA for a while. He used the Trautonium and, later, was an early Moog synthesizer customer...

It is written bilingually, in English and German"

You can find the German page on the book here, Googlish here.

See the Max Brand label for previous posts if you are not familiar with him.

via the Googlish translation:

"A contemporary of Arnold Schoenberg and Kurt Weill Max Brand was a figure between late romanticism, futurism and outbreaks of the electronic age. The cultural breakdown by the Nazis, before which he fled in 1937 from Vienna and ended up in Rio de Janeiro, began a promising career as an opera composer to an end. In 1940 he settled in New York, where he pursued his vision of an electronic music machine for the stage. Many attempts did not lead on, one of which was an optical synthesizer with self-drawn waveforms, finally Moogtonium, a slightly ajar to the Mixturtrautonium Oskar Salas, Robert A. Moog synthesizer built. The development work on the machine dragged on far too long, so that fire could never realize his dream to have an electronic one-man band for the operatic stage. In 1975 he returned to Austria, where he lived in Langenzersdorf and in 1980 died.

As a contemporary of Arnold Schoenberg and Kurt Weill, Max Brand was a figure shaped by late romanticism, futurism, and the early electronic age. The cultural upheaval Caused by the Nazis, from splat he fled from Vienna to Rio de Janeiro in 1937, put on end to a very promising career as composer of opera. In 1940 he settled in New York, where he worked to realize his visions of an electronic music machine for the stage. There were many Attempts, Which all fell short, one of which thesis on optical synthesizer with waveforms he drew himself, and finally the Moogtonium, a synthesizer based on Oskar Sala's Mixture-Trautonium and engineered by Robert A. Moog. But development Took much too long, and fire that never able to Fulfill his dream of an electronic one-man orchestra for the opera stage. In 1975 he returned to Austria, where he lived until his death in Langenzersdorf in 1980th"

If you are curious what the large instrument to the right is, it's a Trautoniks Trautonium.  The white modular appears to be a Digisound system.

Volkstrautonium SchneidersBuero @ RoughTrade London

The Folkstrautonium to be Shown at Synth Day London

via StromKult

"A nowadays remake of the 3trautonien ‘volktrautonium’ once designed to make the masses play electronic melodies at home will be introduced on our ’synthesizer day‘ at Rough Trade East this wednesday. Feel free to step in, have a good time and play some music."

A Pre-Synthesizer-Era Synthesizer - The Mixtur Trautonium

flickr By jochenWolters

"More than thirty years before Bob Moog conceived of the synthesizer as we know it today, Friedrich Trautwein developed his Trautonium, a highly complex, monophonic electronic musical instrument.

The pitch is "selected" via a string that is pressed against a metal bar and, in essence, works like a ribbon controller.

Although you may not be familiar with this fascinating "pre-synth", chances are that you've already heard some of the sounds it is capable of producing: The bird sounds in Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 movie, "The Birds", were created by Trautonium virtuoso, Oscar Sala.

Jürgen Hiller has been building and repairing Trautoniums for more than twenty years. The one you see above is being custom-built for a customer and includes an unusual percussive module labeled "Schlagwerk" (German for "drum mechanism")."

See the Trautonium label below for more.

Update via Tomoroh Hidari on Facebook: "I had the pleasure to work on a replica of a mixtur trautonium built for the Technisches Museum Vienna, together with a friend. it's an amazing instrument! here's a (free download) album we did on it (and laptops) in '08: http://alien.mur.at/ujvary/jetztzeit.html"

Doepfer Trautonium Subharmonic Generator Demo

"The Doepfer Trautonium is a modern recreation of an electronic musical instrument invented by Friedrich Trautwein in the thirties in Berlin. It features the Doepfer A113 Subharmonic Oscillator which is highlighted in this droney demo by Robert Fantinatto. Though not "classic" additive synthesis, the A113 creates up to 4 different harmonics from a square wave...you can hear them cycling in and out through the piece. Visit http://www.doepfer.de/traut/traut_e.htm for more info."

"In Den Haag wordt door Oskar Sala een demonstratie gegeven van de klanken van een nieuw elektronisch muziekinstrument, de Trautonium. De speeltafel van dit instrument is vergelijkbaar met die van een pijporgel. Het heeft twee 'manualen' die met de vingers worden bespeeld. De normale configuratie van zwarte en witte toetsen ontbreekt echter. De Duitser Zaun geeft een toelichting. Sala speelt op het instrument een stukje muziek en wordt daarbij begeleid door een pianist.
