This is what gets my goat up! There's no interest in "Sounds" anymore. Even The Prodigy have forgotten about trying 2get a good sound now, to join the "Who can get their music the Loudest" competition. Any1 can produce any sound now on a laptop with cracked free software. Where's the Creativity in that? Just sitting there, looping samples with each other. No matter how hard you try, you will fail now. And the quickest way of retracting a girl is 2tell them you make electronic music. It's a Joke.
@therealKINDLE What is hard for the modern musician coming from an acoustic background, who actually knows a trick or two of music theory and wishes to go back and try some electronic music ala the old synth masters and actual orchestration.. well, there just isn't a market for that. The clubs and DJs look at you and ask you to remove %80 of the subtlety and increase the bass %100. Pretty be damned they want a beat and something sparkly or a drop in the middle. No ears to hear.
@Shanawolfo1 Oh come on man! Sod the market! Haven't you heard? The Industry is Dead. (Documentary - PressPausePlay) Art does not decorate itself, or care how others perceive it; It's Self Expression. I consider DJs/Clubs a separate matter because they will always need music that subsumes a constant flow of energy. You wouldn't have Delia Derbyshire's 'pot au feu' played in clubs! This is about Art, & the future of electronic music. With, or Without the industry. Real Music. :D
@therealKINDLE I fully agree, and do produce what I love. But you still have to eat.
Trying to tell the kids that the music they are dancing and trancing to has roots beyond the 80s is like trying to speak Shakespeare to birds.
I introduce what I can, and hope to lead them into something more intricate and structured. This is why I am watching these old documentary vids, to reconnect with the origins and experimentation. To re-kindle the fire I had when I first started dabbling.
@Shanawolfo1 I see. Sigh. It's a terrible shame that our decrepit, degenerate & corrupt culture of living (that I often call "The Art of Avarice"!) coerces so many to defy what's as natural as breathing which lies within them. As it clearly does in U.
You've intrigued me. Not many on here do that! "Intricate & Structured" - Now you're talking my language! You say that you have dabbled with Sound or Music? Is there anyway I can listen? Or show some support? Or help in any way I can?
We take it all so much for granted now, forgetting the effort that had to go into producing even the simplest peace of music. Amazing to think even the eye watering expensive Fairlight costing as much as a house has been consigned to history with so many free sampling applications out there.
Thank you for some wonderful memories of both the technology and the time it came from.
@smleonard55 Growing up in the 70s and 80s was quite interesting in that regard - starting with Kraftwerk's Robots I became fascinated by the new sounds that came out of synths. :)
Zinoviev's great grandfather was the alleged author of the infamous Zinoviev letter of 1916, concocted by the forerunner of MI5, the Royal British Secret Service.
Delightful! Thanks ever so much for uploading! I just love what I can only describe as the dignified passion of the presenter. You don't see that "touch" too often in TV documentaries nowadays...
At 11.00 you here a similar tune that David Vorhaus produced but I don't know what it's called. It was used in the mid 80's for the Andrex puppy advert and you here it occasionly on TV.
I'm afraid I don't have the programme "Nuclear Nightmares" . The recording was done in 1984 in Sydney, Australia by sheer chance, but it remains one of my all-time favourites. "Nuclear Nightmares" sounds like it could be a BBC-made programme though.
The kaleidophon could have been a best-seller for Dave, if not for that embarrassing phallic playing position! Understandable for an upright bass player to design this, but the electric bass horizontal stance would have looked better!
Given the room he had to play the instrument, it would have been an extremely difficult task to adopt a different playing stance, without knocking over some of the other equipment I fear.
Anyone happens to know anything about the melody that starts around 11:30 ??? :O
Track, Artist name? Anything...?
Or is it just something random...?
:D
