Discovering electronic music. Director / Writer Bernard Wilets Barr Films, Padadena, Calif - 1983

  1. scary intro my god!
  2. lol thats true.. and some movies too
  3. Wow, good catch!
  4. Very true.
  5. Electronic music and electronic sounding music are undergoing a cell division, it seems.
  6. Reminds me of super mario at the end
  7. xool.
  8. I know what you mean skipper! Of course, not all of them wanted to justify the merit of electronic music (suspect at the time) before beckoning upon the explorative & innovative journey. Delia Derbyshire didn't care what people thought! She created some of the most creative & original works imaginable. Even to this day, her "Blue Veils & Golden Sands" sounds remarkable. And she didn't stop there. Her commissioned project "Dreams" is so advanced that people are still not ready for it!
  9. yes i know all that stuff... it just makes me laugh.... the potential for everything and anything, so they play classical... or Romantic,.. or Impressionism... etc... its cool but just funny.
  10. because they think classical music is the best and BIG modular synths are the best and subsequently they get pretentious and arrogant and they they are somehow above playing lazer gun sound effects like the little synth chaps like me.
  11. Every science & tech documentary from this era starts off with that super-creepy doomsday music...what is up with that??
  12. A Rare Modular Moog,with flip-switch's instead of slide-switch's.They only made a few like that!totally Groovy,Baby! ; )
  13. Its amazing how technology advances with music. It is just- amazing. We should go back and show them a synthesizer like Nord G series or Z3TA+ lol
  14. and we think we know it all when we use a piece of software these dayz bollocks to that, these people lived for what they done.upmost respect.
  15. Bach was one of the earliest to arrange a vast array of technically difficult pieces for various instruments and orchestral arrangements. If you're first in, your name is assured. @Electro257, people and the record companies probably got sick of the synthesizer and so Boulez, Birtwhisle et al carried on with using traditional instruments. Remember that the synthesizer came in on the coat tails of the looped edited tape (Delia Derbyshire anyone?) andrecordings of dustbin crashes?
  16. ... i dont know why Bach ... but ... if you see
  17. I never tire of even the basics or fundamentals of electronic music. It's an addiction.
  18. yes i have... thats not my point... the synthesizer wasnt exactley designed for Bach,.. it was designed for a new sound esthetic, in the words of Debussy 'the age of the aeroplane, ocean liner and machines needs a new music' etc... it isnt a critisism, i just dont see why Bach is Always used to demonstrate the synth,... ever since wendy Carlos its been the norm???
  19. No different to many users of VSTi synths these days who end up just playing trance which I think involves setting a sound and sticking one key down, then walking away from the computer to read a book. I'm not that much into Bach but have you ever tried sitting down and playing it?
  20. but you can do that on the instrument designed for Baroque / classical style,. period music is of a period and for a instrument... .. a modular is not about that type of music as it is not relevant to the period.. the period of the modular.. if the only point of reference is 'classical' then why have one..
  21. cause he can, man.
  22. I think my head would have exploded if I had seen this back when it was made. I was 11 at the time, and just discovering these things called synthesizers. Amazing.
  23. Smashing! :-)
