GH2: Vintage Synth Series Announcement

GH2: Vintage Synth Series Announcement from Ralph Baumgartl on Vimeo.

follow-up to this post "The keyboard footage was shot in 720- 50p and the interview was shot in 1080-50i with the 14-140mm lens. Maybe I am just imagining this, but I think the AF seems to be working slightly better in 1080-50i than 24p.

The video is an announcement of our upcoming Vintage Synthesizer Series. It is a collaboration between Michael Junck of klangkombinat.de and myself, Ralph Baumgartl of baumgartl.de
We will be comparing the original analogue Synths to their software equivalents."

Live Retro Synth Jam (Back to the future of 1973 Berlin School of Electronic Music)

Published on Jan 10, 2017 Ralph Baumgartl

"This Live Synth Jam is our way of going back to the future of 1973 Berlin School of Electronic Music ;-) While my jam buddy ‘Imaginary Landscape’ (Hans-Dieter Schmidt) and me (Ralph Baumgartl) were setting up our gear, we were talking about Tangerine Dream’s album Phaedra which was recorded in late 1973. That discussion actually set the mood for our subsequent Synthesizer Live Jam in which we are trying recreate a similar 1973 Berlin School atmosphere. The Berlin School type sequencer line is played by the DSI Prophet 08 Rack Synth. I hope we succeeded. Please indulge us ;-)
