SynthFest Intro 2020 Videos

As you might have noticed I've been posting manufacturer videos for SynthFest 2020 as it gives you both a chance to see the makers in person as well as some of their gear. Along with the maker videos there have been artist videos as well. I thought I should share them to pay tribute to the event during the global lockdown. The above is a running playlist of what's gone up so far. As new maker posts go up I'll link back to this post for the full list of videos. It's great to see some of the people and personalities that would have attended the event. Enjoy. :)

Tangerine Dream's Johannes Schmoelling meets the PPG-100 at Synthfest France 2019

Published on Jun 19, 2019 yusynthman

yusynthman aka Yves Usson is the man behind yusynth.net DIY & Arturia's Minibrute line of synths.

"During the recent SynthFest France 2019 in Nantes I had the great joy and honour to demonstrate my rare PPG-100 modular synthesizer to Johannes Schmoelling (Tangerine Dream 1978-1982, Loom) and Kurt Ader (musician and sound-designer at KApro). It was an exhilarating moment for me to demo TD like sequences before a former member of Tangerine Dream... I felt like in heaven ! This videao was shot by Nicolas Jalabert."

Description for the third video:
"During the Synthfest Fest France in France (june 7th to 9th 2019) I exhibited a very rare PPG-100 analog modular synthesizer (something like 10 units built in 1974). The keyboard is played by Tony Quenneville and the video was shot by Tarek Lule. On some motion of the camera you may catch a glimpses of an Emulator 2, a CMI Faitlight, ARP 2500 and ARP 2600 modulars, an 8 voices Schmitt and Synclavier controller that were also on display and test in the same room.

Au cours du récent SynthFest France 2019 à Nantes j'ai eu la joie d'exposer mon vénérable modulaire PPG-100 (arar, seule une 10aine a été fabriquée). Le clavier est joué par Tony Quenneville et la vidéo éalisé par Tarek Lule. Selon les mouvements de la caméra vous pouvez appercevoir furtivement un Emulator2, un Failight CMI, un ARP2500 et un ARP2600 ainsi qu'un Schmitt 8 voies et un contrileur de Synclavier..."
