Expander: An Oberheim Retrospective

video upload by Alex Ball and Anthony Marinelli Music

"The story of the legendary synthesizer company, Oberheim electronics, founded by Tom Oberheim in 1969.

This film happened because of our collective love and passion for this story and was knocked together during evenings, weekends and spare hours over the course of many months. Thank you to all those who made it happen and a big thank you to my Patrons on Patreon for their ongoing support.

A special thanks to Tom Oberheim, Marcus Ryle, Anthony Marinelli, Dave Spiers and TC who gave up a lot of their personal time to give this film the material that it deserved.
