The Fall brought me here.

So einen Typ wie Rudi Dutschke, einen Kommunisten, brauche wir nicht. Ein Mensch der nie gearbeitet hat, der den Menschen seine Ansichten, der er für unwiderlegbar hält, aufzwingen will, der niemanden ausreden lässt, wie die Linken und Grünen heute.

At school we had music teachers with the same looks and attitudes. They hated us so much because we preferred R&B over Stockhausen and Schoenberg. 🥸

All this incredibly tedious work and massive equipment in some basement storage rooms with no access to sunlight, while their peers danced on the river banks or roofs to Motown records.

This was a brain-expanding moment. Thank you.

👍👍👍

Thomas Kessler died in april 2024. The exact date is actually not known. I am still very proud to made a last big interview with him in 2020 for my book "FERNE ZIELE - Geschichten über die Beliner Schule für elektronische Musik", where he told me the whole story about the Electronic Beat Studio. He is also memorized on the memorial plaque for the Electronic Beat Studi, Pfalzburger Strasse 30 in berlin- Wilmersdorf (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Kessler_(Komponist)#/media/Datei:Gedenktafel_Pfalzburger_Str_30_(Wilmd)_Electronic_Beat_Studio.jpg)

Doldinger ein Trottel? Bitte drum, zivilisiert zu kommentieren.

Gut, wie respektvoll auch die Kritiker des Freejazz Fragen an Brötzmann stellen. Und wie souverän Brötzmann antwortet, voller Selbstvertrauen, der Mann hatte schon damals Charisma. Sage ich, obwohl ich den Zugang zu seiner Musik noch finden möchte. Brötzmann-LPs als Originalpressungen werden als Gebrauchte heute zu Traumpreisen gehandelt.

brilliant!!!

Stupendous artwork 👍

Passport jazzrock

Tasty electronic food

Trippy - bin überrascht dass die Bundespost sich das damals schon traute.

Promo-SM 😱

I can't imagine who paid for this. In the opinion of official autorities of the time it must have been musically, artistically worthless. And even for the time the effort vs. result was absurd. 1967 was the year of the first Buchla Synth and Morton Subotniks "Silver Apples of the Moon".

2024: sieht aus, als ob er recht gehabt hat ... #rechtsruck

Makes me wish early Kraftwerk would have documented their process like this!

Kein 'Surface Mount' scheisse.... richtiges quatsch tanzen.

These guys are behind the Yoko school of music

Thank you so much for uploading this, it's incredibly well made electronic music. The film stands out too,

Thank you for uploading this. I really enjoyed it

❤

Klasse, gerade vorhin Fotos von meinem letzten Besuch im Deutschen Museum angeschaut, wo das Siemens-Studio ja ausgestellt ist. J.A. Riedl habe ich glaub' ich erstmals in einem Büchlein namens "Musik aus Strom" von einem Otto Mundigl erwähnt gefunden, das hatte ich mir '76 bei EMS zusammen mit meinem hart erjobbten Synthi E gekauft… (übrigens Typo im Videotitel, Jose>f<)

Zeitlos und seiner Zeit voraus. Großartig!

I love this one, thanks for sharing

More, more, we want more! In comparison to the US & UK, there was very little to almost no evidence to see how the former senselessly vilified "enemy" were doing. May I suggest that a good point of entry towards higher minded knowledge is the book Hamburg: The Cradle Of British Rock by Alan Clayson, a DVD The Beatles with Tony Sheridan: The Beginnings In Hamburg. I could tell by watching how radical this very early era was that set the stage towards the more "freak out" events shown here. Clearly without argument...those who were most incredibly lucky to have survived the most deathly penetrative allied bombing using phosphorous...actually gave birth to a counter culture that was so amazingly real, that it was German hippie culture who made "swinging London" and the West Coast look like a completely fake fashion show. The people of Germany were rebelling against an oppressive dictatorship that most of her people wanted nothing to do with anymore than America wanted Saddam Hussein...who really did come into power in the US by kinder and gentler methods than Adolf, because Saddam was in the CIA since 1959.

absolutely stunning combo!

Many thanks for uploading this

Fantastic!❤

Having finished school (the German "Abitur") in spring 1976, I had an office job for six months, saved up & got me this "inexpensive" (good grief!) Synthi E. I practically lived in it, and it has accompanied my acoustic & technical fumblings for more than a decade. Later that year, I happened to be in London, and, gathering all my courage, I went to EMS H.Q. in Putney and was actually given a short tour of the studio, with the EMS 100 in it, the PDP8, the teletype and what not. Blew my mind…

Excellent upload! Thanks!

Das ist doch wie mit dem Sex. Ohne Sinn und Verstand ist das nichts. ;-) Eher eine Schweineschlachtung (ohne Tote). Haha, um Herrn Doldinger zu zitieren:….so geht‘s nicht! Verdammt nochmal.

I did this at my primary school, same year....was there something in the water? I still have a tape loop I made somewhere. My dad kept it safe in a box, but with others rummaging about I do worry it might get lost again. I created a background sound for my dinosaur project. I recorded my friends making all kinds of sounds like you see here, recorded at high speed and played back slow. You might call it a sound installation!

Great documentation. This was also the beginning of sampling

4:48 Matrix Agents Vibes here.

Bought it the year it came out. Loved it 💫 then bought the cd. Slapping Pythagoras is a great record.

❤

Such a great performance!

Interesting, I saw TD live in 1984 and Froese did a lot of guitar playing. I thought he had only recently taken it up because he was tired of all the knob-twiddling, but apparently that's what he started out with.

One of only two recorded documents of Human Being!

A great man

Like good old times!

stop playing (not plaxing...)

Donnerwetter, wo hast du das denn her? Ganz wunderbar! Und Edgar siezt Thomas Kessler!

😮 another mesmerising tune, that orbiting scent of calm that surrounds the collection of communication beeps is perfection

❤❤ great feed flow, space sound sensation, amazing set

Wow, so very cool, thank you for posting this! Is that Steve Jolliffe on the flute? If so, I'll say that the first time I heard Cyclone (with his vocals) I wasn't too sure about it but I quickly grew to like it a lot. It's very different from the other usual suspects (Phaedra, Poland, Rubycon, Tangram, Stratosfear, Hyperborea, etc.) but equally interesting. Really amazing footage, thank you again.
