i thing he ment the one with the "wings", or is that part the tape reading mechanism?

Yes - it is the tape reading mechanism from the PDP-8 computer. Instructions are encoded by holes punched in the paper tape to be interpreted by the software.

What's that machine at 5:35?

It is a PDP-8 Minicomputer tape reading mechanism. I included the insert as an amusement initially, but such mini-computers were actually used to assist in the composition of music. Peter Zinovieff of EMS used two PDP-8 computers in his music studio in the late 1960s.
Thanks.

Thanks so much!
I have been fascinated by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop for some time, and wanted to create my own special tribute, using strange electronic soundscapes and a collage of various filmic sources, like "The Alchemists of Sound" documentary. I tried to rework the images and sounds to create a kind of surreal approach to what inspired me with the workshop.
Regards.

Fantsatic post! Isn't that the same sound sample that Kate Bush used on Babooshka at 6'19"?

Yes, I know. Sorry about that. It is a great example of the physical process of tape splicing and sequencing recorded material together on the Studer recorder. May I use this excellent segment within the program?
Many thanks,
Jeffrey S.
