Discovering Electronic Music Part 1 - 3

Discovering Electronic Music (1969-1983) video upload by Fran Blanche

Update: cleaned up version in one video above uploaded in 2021. You'll find the original 3 posted back in 2009 further below.

"This film by Bernard Wilets was originally produced around 1969-70, but this reel that I present is the updated version from 1983 which includes new added Fairlight sequences with Rory Kaplan. The original sections are VERY 1969 and the color of this print is still remarkable. Great footage of Moog modular synths right in their heyday and lots of screenshots of waveforms and such. Is it coincidental that so much Bach is being played on the Moog? Calling Wendy Carlos! The film features several people who went on to make their names in electronic music, including Rory Kaplan, Douglas Leedy, and Jean-Claude Risset. This reel was transferred from my own 16mm archive print using my Eiki Telecine. The Eiki has a 5 Blade Shutter that projects a 24fps print at 30 frames per second for a flickerless NTSC transfer. A special diffusion plate eliminates the 'hot spot' of the projector, and the sound is pulled right from the optical track. Enjoy!

Reason 5 Dr.OctoREX with TouchOSC and Osculator

"TouchOSC for iPad layout with loop switching controls for the Dr.OctoREX loop player in Reason 5.

Using Osculator 2.10 beta to configure feedback messages that switch off buttons in TouchOSC. Osculator could really use a 'bang' event to make this work perfectly."

Stock Aitken Waterman Sound, The Jason Donovan HITS, How did they do it!

YouTube via karelpostthuis | August 26, 2010

"As a sound engineer i'm always curious how records, and "sound-logo's" are built.
Anyone can make synth POP, but a HIT sound is made by specialists who know their stuff.

In a free afternoon i got into my studio to find out.. HOW the SAW / PWL sound of the late '80-s was made...

I used stuff they also had, like the Jupiter 8, the D50, a bunch of Juno's and the best Drum Machines ever, the Linndrum, DMX, TR808 and so on...

The basis is a kicksound like a Linn, but longer, to get the dancefloor "banging" sound and the sound of a couple of DX bass sounds stacked to sound powerful and with lots of punch.

I skipped the Emulator 2 strings, but i'm sure that's what they used in the earlier work next to the Fairlight.

I'm a fan of quality men like the whole team of SAW, Pete, Mike Matt are the forefront but the tape-op's and Tim Harding, Ian Curnow and all the guys that programmed the sounds and worked the desk are equally great."

Casio CZ-101 Synthesizer with EZ-CZ Memory Card

EZ-CZ four bank memory cartridge.

"the card came with the synth when I bought it and it says it's for CZ-3000 and CZ-5000 synthesizers; but it works fine with the CZ-101. It has two switches that depending on the order of the switches, will access a certain bank, four banks total."
