Klaus Schulze - Live 1977 (better image & sound)

YouTube via Nimanty | September 23, 2010

"Klaus Schulze performs 'For Barry Graves' - live concert 1977.
Unique and rare footage. Video re-edited for better image quality and sound remastered for better clearity and stereo imaging. - Nimanty -

Details: See Klaus Schulze using the Moog D synthesizer, switching the added white noise off at 6:20. Enjoy!"

Update via Qwave in the comments: ""... the Moog D synthesizer, ..." ;-)

The official CD release ("For Barry Graves", La Vie Electronique 5) is not that much emphased on the higher mid-range frequency.
BTW: the black sequencer behind Klaus' head at 0:59 is the very first Synthanorma by Matten&Wiechers. Some german info about it here:
http://www.elektropolis.de/ssb_vorgeschichte2.htm. You need a translation?" [Googlish for now as long as we get the gist of it.]

Extended version here.

Captain and Tennille LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER

Anyone ID the white keyboard next to the Captain? At 2:19 it's making the reso synth bass sounds.
"Here is a vintage clip of Captain & Tennille. I love the old clips where Toni is playing piano and singing ...She is extremely talented!!!!"

Making music on a microscopic scale

Making music on a microscopic scale from University of Twente on Vimeo.

"Strings a fraction of the thickness of a human hair, with microscopic weights to pluck them: researchers and students from the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology of the University of Twente have succeeded in constructing the first musical instrument with dimensions measured in mere micrometres - a 'micronium' - that produces audible tones. A composition specially written for the instrument was performed in Enschede on Sunday 26 September."

Cwejman RES-4 demo

Cwejman RES-4 demo from hpsounds on Vimeo.

"Here is a short demo of the Cwejman RES-4 Quad VC Resonators module.

This patch involve 3 intermodulating oscillators (Wiard Oscillator in LFO mode, Wiard Anti-Oscillator as a modulator, Tiptop Audio Z3000 as a modulator), which are filtered by a Wiard Boogie filter, itself modulated by the Wiard Oscilator.

12 dB/oct output of the Boogie filter is connected to the Cwejman RES-4. The tip was to modulate two bands of the RES-4 by an envelope (Wiard Envelator), which is trigged by a pulse rhythm created with the Intellijel uStep (clock signal is provided by the End output of a Bananalogue Serge VCS).

EFX processing through a nice Eventide Eclipse patch ;-) which give a Steve ROACH's like sound IMO."
