David's "STAR WARS" on KOCO 5 Alive News (1978)

YouTube via quantumdave. via Nusonica.

"In 1978, KOCO 5 Alive News came to Producers Workshop to do a piece about the music business. It ended up being a feature on me . . . Al Franken. Just Kidding. Me . . . David Powell, and my synthesizer version I was working on from the "original" score of
'STAR WARS'."

Veqtor - Analogik1

"So, I had been spending loads of time at EMS, where i study electro acoustic music composition and been recording a bunch of sessions with a buchla, serge and spring tank reverb and I thought: “Hey, this is pretty cool, maybe someone would like to listen to this?” So I decided to release it for free! Basically everything is recorded on the fly, sometimes several takes on top of eachother. I plan on releasing more of ‘em as I go along, I’m actually on my way there right now. What are you waiting for?"

POLIVOKS (aka POLYVOX, POLIVOX, POLYVOKS) - Interviews

"For many years Russian Federation has been an isolated economy. Ministry of Culture, for example, wouldn't allow import of foreign instruments and Soviet musicians at the time didn't have a musical instrument that would offer capabilities and sounds of the equipment available to the rest of the world. This had triggered creation of a completely new and unique instrument.

Polivoks was designed by an engineering team lead by Vladimir Kuzmin from the Urals Vector Company later built by Formanta Radio Plant in the early 80's. First commercially available Polivoks was sold in 1982 with the last unit sold in 1990. Polivoks is one of the most popular vintage synths today because of its history and extraordinary industrial look. Many consider its sound capabilities to be comparable to a MiniMoog."

"Counterfeit Umbrella" Video Single!

YouTube via inverseroom.
"Inverse Room dramatizes the recording of his song "Counterfeit Umbrella" earlier this month at Mabel Sound."

"--it's not a very synthy song, just one solo line from the Frac/Euro modular (with particular attention to the Harvestman Malgorithm and Wiard Borg Filter). But you can also make out some other vintage keyboards in there, including the Yamaha SY-2, SCI Pro One, Yamaha YC-25D, and a Wurlitzer 206."
