Gratuitous smashing of things included.

I spy a Moog Source in the background.
Those things are so delicate nowadays.

I had to listen a few times to Peter Gabriel say "........electronic skiffle".

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...............

That made me lol too.

those guys were so far ahead of thier time..


technology has came a long way since then.. but man they were on it.


the apple IIe brings back memories

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.

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

nice.. thats the route i like to take.

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
