Rudolf Haken "Quinquagenarium" - Continuum Fingerboard, Champaign-Urbana Symphony Orchestra

[Milkpaw]

what is a continuum? is it like a synthesiser?

[marksmartus2]

Tunes written for the Continuum must have names that end with "-arium". It's a federal law. :)

@marksmartus2 so, "the dark eternal night" is a federal crime?

Quinquagenarium?, the song called "octavarium" use a continuum finger board

Here's my favorite Rudolf Haken story:

Rudolf is circa 10 yrs old. He is invited to conduct his "Symphony Zero" for a special youth day at Foellinger Auditorium. Bored & unhappy to be there, the kids begin throwing jellybeans at Rudolf in the middle of the piece. In response, Rudolf halts the performance, picks up the jellybeans, throws them back at the offending youngsters, and then continues with the performance.

[shankpeterman]

awesome! I had no idea that the fingerboard was from here... i had first seen it a few years ago when it was demoed at a NAMM i think. I'm a music major (jazz performance) here at the university... any chance i'd ever get to try it out?
