Kraftwerk - It's More Fun To Compute - The Minimal Mix

After attending a Kraftwerk concert in Randers, Denmark, I just had to realize this classic track from the Computerwelt album.

I aimed for a quite straight version, albeit updated to a modern-day minimal house/techno sound. I did the video in the style of the good ol' Germans, hand-creating ~150 video frames in Adobe Photoshop and cutting them all together in Premiere.

I used the following gear on the track.:
Clavia Nord Lead 2X (bass, leads/pads, sequences, drums)
Ableton Vocoder
SugarBytes Efectrix (FX sequencer for drums)
PSP VintageWarmer for mastering
Ableton Live 8 (sequencing, etc.)

In a way, it's a "demo reel" for the Nord Lead 2X as well.

This is anything but minimal. Listen to the original computer world version and hear minimal.

nice work. btw, an easier way to create the animation would have been to use Adobe Flash.
