Ars Electronica 2009: Max Brand Synthesizer 1957 - Excerpt of "Höllenmaschine"-Performance

Within the "Große Konzertnacht" a performance takes place on this unique machine:

Elisabeth Schimana: Infernal Machine (composition for the Max Brand synthesizer)

Operators: Manon Liu Winter, Gregor Ladenhauf

A journey inside the one-of-a-kind machine that is the legacy of composer Max Brand. This mechanical monster, the outcome of decades of development, is the distant ancestor of the Moog Synthesizer. Operated by an outstanding pianist, it snorts its sub-harmonic frequencies and spews them forth into the ether.

That was a great concert! I wished the organizers would have placed this performance in the great concerthall of brucknerhaus in linz, instead of the overcrowded sidechamber.

Very interesting, and very nice editing also.
