Tom Dissevelt and Kid Baltan were Dutch. Eindhoven is in The Netherlands. The language they are speaking is Dutch (Nederlands),

[schreu26]

It was called "Song of the Second Moon".

This and other fascinating material by Baltan/Raaijmakers/Dissevelt was rereleased in 2004 on the fantastic 4-cd set "POPULAR ELECTRONICS", on Basta.

1:32 Here is this loop that is recorded on a tape recorder and I will show you how this sound is repeated

1:48 And we have the possibility to duplicate the sound we just heard and adding it by this machine

2:11 Besides electric sounds we can record natural sounds and cutting a loop of it

2:17 Of this I will show you some examples

2:20 I have here a sound of a alarm clock a foot step a wriggeling like figure and a tower clock

[Darcy261]

1:00 I want to show you this while this magneto phone is running by rewinding and fast forwarding of the tape

1:08 This way the pitch of this accord changes

1:10 I have recorded this on the tape recorder and by cutting a little piece of it also by indication of the composer of course and by joining the ends together you get a loop

1:26 And I can play back this loop on a magneto phone so this sound will be repeated
