Ga-Ga for Waldorf

Image via Till "Qwave" Kopper in the comments of this post. There is just something about this shot that makes me go Ga-Ga. In case you missed the update:

"... and it is my WAVE +16 (= 32 voice) shown here. A snapshot by someone taken during my last year's Planetarium concert of "EL-KA" (http://el-ka.synthmusic.info german only) in Bochum/Germany.
If you look to the yellow Waldorf Q in the back, you will notice the joy-stick someone added to my instrument.
Here is one from the other direction: link
You will see the other half of EL-KA there: HaJo Liese.
The CD recording is available at www.syngate.net and other EM music shops. And we will play at the Univercity of Eindhoven/The Netherlands next week's Saturday at the E-Day (http://e-day.groove.nl)

And by the way: I run the unofficial Waldorf WAVE pages located here:

A Celebration of Max Mathews and 50 Years of Computer Music

Fifty years ago, in 1957, at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Max Mathews demonstrated that the digital computer can be used as a fantastic new musical instrument. He created a revolutionary software platform destined to form the basis of all contemporary digital musical systems.

His audacious ideas were driven by the belief that any sound that the human ear can hear can be produced by a computer. Mathews' mastery of this new instrument revealed new musical horizons and sparked a burgeoning curiosity into the very nature of sound. His comprehension and elaboration made five decades of art and research ossible, laying the groundwork for generations of electronic musicians to synthesize, record, and play music. Today at Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) as a Professor Emeritus he continues not only to educate students and colleagues, but also to guide and inspire with his constant inventiveness and pure musical pleasure.

Join us in honoring Max for an afternoon of sound, celebration and discovery of his ideas,works, music, and writings.

"This is a Korg X-911 that I have re-built to a modular synth. The original X-911 Guitar Synth actually contains much more than is obvious on the front pane"
