Suzanne Ciani and David Letterman

Suzanne Ciani got invited to talk about her methods and instruments on David Letterman's show. Somehow I find it hard to think of something like this occurring on tv today. Sadly.

Florian Schneider's vocoder poem

Florian Schneiders electronic poem about the Doepfer A-100. Schneider apparently spoke the poem onto the answering machine of Florian Anwander, who then processed it with the A-100 vocoder modules. The full story, of which I wasn't aware until PatchPierre pointed it out to me, is available over at his blog.

Something of a forgotten gem of Kraftwerk meta musical lyricism. But "A-100 nicht so teuer"?

Julklappar 2011

Efter alla stressinköp inför julen tänkte jag helt skamlöst (men ganska kortfattat) referera mina egna takings från tomten:

1. En Electro-Harmonix Memory Toy som tyvärr inte fungerade som den skulle. Delay-effekten droppade ut plötsligt och oförklarligt. Verkade vara glapp någonstans. Tillbakaskickad till affären.

2. Lost In Space dvd-box. Lite härlig retro-sci-fi från Irwin Allen. Tre säsonger på 23 diskar.

3. How To Wreck a Nice Beach. Fantastiskt snygg bok om vocoderns historia. Illustrerad i fyrfärg.

4. Presentkort på iTunes.

Ja, det var i alla fall lätt att ta klapparna med sig från firandet i Skåne. Annat var det med min sons Legoskörd ...
