@3.37, second row, far left, note the presence of Daphne Oram, inventor of 'Oramics' and key player in the early days of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

What a sad story. It just goes to show that the universe makes no sense when a Genius & all his Ideas are scorned & refused the credit that they so rightfully deserve. This man belongs in the same catagory as other Legends such as Delia Derbyshire, Dr Moog & Walter Carlos. Maybe even above them.

My most admirable & humble respect to Peter Zinovieff.

What a great footage this is. It was so wonderful to hear a master, a pioneer in every sense talk so passionately about his innovations. We are in a way indebted to this great man- Peter Zinovieff.

This is great!
Did his computer system get rescued or was it left with rain pouring over it?

Many thanks and appreciation,

The article is edited from two documentaries, the first, "What The Future Sounded Like" is an Australian short film, funded partly by the AFF, and concerns the electronic music movement that began after World War 2, before the advent of home computers. A press kit is available from their website for more information. The second source is the 1979 BBC documentary "The New Sound of Music', featuring a demonstration on an EMS Synthi 100.

Many thanks to all.

Thanks for posting. Is this a clip from a longer prog ? If so, can you tell us more about it ?
