I spy an Apple II computer in front of Herbie. First computer I ever tinkered with way back in 1979 belonging to an uncle. Within months I was on a Commodore Pet at college part-time evening classes. Within a year I was at college as a full time mature student on an HND in Computer Studies Course, and so on, and so on...............

I wonder what the hell he has on the apple?

I had a greengate ds3 on one of those things, but I think that came out a little after this video was shot.

[edit] actually the DS3 came out in 1983, so perhaps it is, although I don't see the ds3 keyboard. I wish I still had that thing ... it was cool.

Gratuitous smashing of things included.

cool. I had one of those timex calculator watches

something I found interesting about that was the lengths he was going to to record real world (er..sorry - peter gabriel pun

) sounds - like smashing tellies etc, while the musical place I've been in these days is kind of the complete opposite - maybe it is testament to Live and it's abilities but if there is one "musical philosophy" I have been going by lately it has been using as little as possible for musical source sounds - like clicking my fingers in front of a laptop in-built mic, or recording a bit of interference - any kind of crap at all - then using it as waveforms to mangle and make music from

so using just one small snippet of noise recorded from any lo-fi source and making a whole track - bass, kick, snare, melody - everything out of the waveforms

I'm going more toward - taking someone else's song from the 1970's and putting a kick under it and a robot voice on top of it.

Ableton rocks!
now all we need is a lightpen and we are sorted
