Smoking and chewing gum, on-camera.

Bring back those casual days!

Se puede imitar fácilmente el timbre de un instrumento con osciladores, como aquí lo demostraba este pelado con alma de niño. El quid del asunto es imitar las inflexiones del instrumento, propias de cada uno y cuya impronta queda en nuestra mente la primera vez que lo escuchamos. Al final de algunas notas se escuchaba un trémolo muy mecánico. ¿Alguien más notó esto?.

Thanks so much for this video!!! I had no idea that Perrey was doing the clarinet! As you probably know (I didn't), Perrey played this instrument on the hit "More" (from Mondo Cane) by Kai Winding, although Winding took credit for it. (Wikipedia) Thanks again!

Fantastic! Thanks for posting Dana. So evocative of the era (including chewing gum!) and great to see the amazement of the panel and audience at hearing electronic sounds for the first time!
