This 1930s Amp Design Sounds Amazing & Ondes Martenot videos by Josh Semans

video upload by HAINBACH

"In which I demo an instrument amplifier inspired by the 1932 designed Resonateurs Métalliques by Martenot. The out-of-production Eowave Metallik Resonator is a beautiful sounding instrument, that instead of speaker cone uses a gong to turn electrical signals into sound. Thanks to @Josh Semans for showing the Ondes Martenot in this video."

Ondes Martenot & Piano Rehearsal / Snippet #3 / Le Cygne

"A short snippet of a recent rehearsal of 'le cygne' by C. Saint-Saëns. This piece is an extract from 'le carnaval des animaux', originally written for piano and cello, here it is for piano and ondes Martenot. Maurice Martenot, inventor of the ondes Martenot, played this piece in Abel Gance's 1931 film 'la fin du monde'.

Unlike our previous practice videos, the audio and video are synchronous! There was only one camera involved, so the audio and video may not line up 100% of the time.

Ondes Martenot & Piano Rehearsal / Snippet #2 / Gymnopédies No. 1

Published on Nov 18, 2016 Josh Semans

"We recently started working on an arrangement of the first of Satie's three Gymnopédies, adapted for ondes Martenot and Piano. This is audio from a recent rehearsal of our arrangement, accompanied by some assorted video clips from the same rehearsal.

It's not a 'live' video, so to speak. The audio and visuals are largely asynchronous.

"Some audio from a recent rehearsal, accompanied by some assorted video clips from the same rehearsal. Playing through Vocalise-Étude by Messiaen, one of our favourites.

It's not a 'live video', so to speak. The audio and visuals are not synchronous.

Ondomo / New Ondes Martenot Pics

You might recall the Ondomo Ondes Martenot by Asaden previously posted here.

Josh Semans wrote in to let me know he put some pics of his up on his Instagram page. He had the following to say:

"I saw your post about the Ondomo and thought I would drop you an email.

I own one of only two Ondomo in England, the other is owned by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. I met the craftsman in Paris in July and have met with him again in Manchester since. We keep in touch and he is very interested in what I am doing with it. He is such a nice man.

The Ondomo truly is beautiful, and I thought you may like to post some more photographs of it."

I definitely would! Beautiful instrument. Also, I new that Jonny Greenwood used an Analogue Systems French Connection (as seen here). It would make sense that he also has the Ondomo.

Thank you Josh!
