A Lost Song

What luck! I have looked through old DVDs of my former companies and on one was a video of me from 1985 (i.e. before I founded my first company), which I had made for my then employer beta-technik in Unterföhring/Munich.

I was the studio manager of the graphic/effect direction there. To present the possibilities of a particularly complicated and then completely new device to the editors, I created a simple demoband with real-time effects and now it comes: I backed it up with a combination of some of my music.

Here is the video, the first piece of music had been lost since then. Now I have isolated it and included it in the archive:

About Symboter at DieOrDiy

Platform “Die Or Diy” reports about my music on cassette “Matrix, Synchrotron and Phon-Ethik” .

“Phon-Ethik” is described as (excerpt): A cassette full of beautiful analogue warmth, with quite a few decent tunes.… Honest electronic musik before it was turned into the ultimate W.M.D (weapon of mass distraction). Also, the best Symboter cassette.

“Synchrotron” is qualified as (excerpt): More Tangerine Dream/Kraftwerk/soundtrack library music hybrid from Symboter. Crammed full of top of the range analogue beauty, from a treasure trove of classic synthesizers in Symboter HQ;… Lovely stuff.

“Matrix” remarks are (excerpt): The vocoder use is especially pleasing, new Generation, being a prime example of who to subtly use this classic device. Fans of anything on Colin Potter’s Integrated Circuit Records will love this.
