Ketron Solton Programmer 24 S - Arranger Keyboard

YouTube via zibbybone

"This crappy video is just a basic run-through of what works and doesn't work (to my knowledge) of this item that I am selling. Auction includes keyboard, bass pedal board and volume pedal. Several keys do not trigger (this is usually an easy fix). As for other functions, you're on your own. The strings sound quite nice, very reminescent of the ARP/Solina String Ensemble."
I'm not seeing it listed yet.

FARFISA SYNTORCHESTRA DEMO

YouTube via AnalogAudio1. Video removed?: see this post.
HIGH QUALITY SOUND! Metalic case version. Played with digital delay
"This Syntorchestra is the metalic case version, wich looks very cool ;-). The design of it looks a bit like an ARP synth. It was often used by Klaus Schulze (on his album Moondawn), Vangelis, Ash Ra (Ashra). It is heard on many classic electronic music records in the seventies.
I played the syntorchestra with an digital delay. Enjoy!"

Talk by computer music pioneer Peter Zinovieff [London]

image via peterzinovieff on MySpace

This one in via fabio.

"Music and Geology or Geology, Electronic Music and Opera :: Wednesday February 4, 2009 :: 6:30 for 7:00pm :: London Knowledge Lab - Institute of Education :: 23 - 29 Emerald St, London WC1N 3QS, England :: Tube: Holborn, Russell Square or Chancery Lane :: Map:

The talk is about three enterprises of excellence that Zinovieff has been intimately involved in. He describes his making the first geological map of the Cuillins mountains in Skye (1958), the problems of his early computers (1960’s) in electronic music contrasted to some present day experiments (2008), and the preparation of his libretto for “The Mask of Orpheus” (1984) by Birtwistle.

He shows that these wildly different endeavours are not so dissimilar when it comes down to the nuts and bolts of their
actual creation.

The lecture of 40 minutes will be accompanied by archive videos, sounds and slides, as well as a display of rocks, pictures and electronic objects.

Peter Zinovieff is a pioneer of electronic and computer music. He is a British inventor of Russian ethnicity, most notable for his EMS company, which made the famous VCS3 synthesiser in the late ’60s. The synthesiser was used by many early progressive rock bands such as Pink Floyd and White Noise, Krautrock groups like Kraftwerk as well as more pop oriented artists, a good example being David Bowie.

Zinovieff also wrote the libretto for Harrison Birtwistle’s opera The Mask of Orpheus.
