MOLECULE DANCE (The Strange World Of Bernard Fevre, 1975)

"Molecule Dance by Bernard Fevre from the library album THE STRANGE WORLD OF BERNARD FEVRE (L'Illustration Musicale, 1975).

Scenes taken from the german/british sci-fi series STAR MAIDENS (Die Mädchen aus dem Weltraum) from 1976.

Plot (from Wikipedia):
Star Maidens is a television series made by Portman Productions for the ITV Network in 1976.
Filmed at Bray Studios and on location in Windsor, Bracknell and Black Park, the series was part financed by a German company (Werbung im Rundfunk) and was the brainchild of Charles Pym.

The series offered a battle of the sexes/role reversal scenario in which two male domestics escape from the female-ruled planet Medusa, land on Earth and are pursued by the Medusan security forces. When the Medusans fails to recapture the two men, they take two Earth hostages - a man and a woman - back with them to their home planet. The thirteen episodes of the series deal with the two groups trying to adapt to life on the different planets whilst brokering an exchange for the hostages.

Regarded as something of a camp novelty, Star Maidens tuned in to the sexual equality revolution of the time, and features some Femdom elements.

The series starred JUDY GEESON, LISA HARROW, CHRISTIANE KRÜGER, PIERRE BRICE, CHRISTIAN QUADFLIEG and GARETH THOMAS."

"My new Access Virus TI2 Polar has arrived (replaced the old faulty one).

Just trying the OS4 demo patches.

No knob twiddling yet. Actually the synth sounds a bit quiet. Hope you can still make them out.

And sorry I keep calling the Patches, Sounds"

Homebuild Synth 2 - Envelope Generator

YouTube via organfairy
"After having decided to build a mini modular synthesizer around my two existing controllable oscillators it is time to start adding the new modules.
This time I am building an envelope generator that will later control the VCF and VCA and maybe also a PWM on the completed synthesizer.

Again the music in this video is played on the Elka X-1000 organ with a little help from the Elka EP-8."

Clockwork by The Richard Termini Project 'phase one' circa 1976

YouTube via rtermini
"Termini wrote Clockwork during 1975 and 1976. In 1976 termini got a couple a two three friends together and they recorded it at a proper 2 inch 16 track recording studio in the big city. Daniel Paolillo did a masterful job on Bass, playing a huge custom built Bass and Guitar Double Neck. Marty Steinberg, pal since Junior High was the perfect Drummer. Termini plays Mellotron, Hammond B3, Minimoog and Acoustic piano on this work. Vicki Zollo appears on voice just at the end of this truncated version.
At the time of this recording Termini was 20, Marty and Dan and Vicki all were 19 years old.
Audio was captured by sound engineer William Wittman, AKA Weedy Wet. All the folks involved can be seen in this video. Can you spot them all? Cheers RT
