He is equally at home at the harpsichord, the fortepiano, and the standard pianoforte, and as a recitalist, concerto performer, and accompanist.

This is Ondioline

Image
The Ondioline  is an early electronic analog synthesizer developed by French inventor Georges Jenny. Sometimes called the Jenny Ondioline, it is widely regarded as a forerunner of the modern synthesizer. Jenny first conceived the instrument in 1939 and continued refining it for decades, producing numerous versions until his death in 1975. - wikipedia   Photo source   For those who have never encountered one and that’s most people, an Ondioline might sound like the name of a bird. In reality, it’s a highly expressive electronic instrument from the early 1940s, capable of imitating other instruments using vacuum tubes and creative filtering techniques. A Unique Playing Experience One of the Ondioline’s most remarkable features was its spring-mounted keyboard. The keys could move laterally, allowing players to create a natural vibrato simply by moving their hand side to side. This produced an expressive, almost human-like vibrato that set the instrument apart from othe...

Karlheinz Stockhausen , Father of Electronic Music?

Image
“He is known for his groundbreaking work in electronic music, having been called the father of electronic music.” — Wikipedia Before we call someone “the father” of a genre, it’s worth asking, what does father really mean? In the Oxford Dictionary, it goes like this: “A person, esp. a ruler or superior, who provides protecting care like that of a father; a person who shows paternal kindness, or to whom filial reverence and obedience are due.” Did he provide those qualities for electronic music? After reading Stockhausen on Music compiled by Robin Maconie , I believe he did. His lectures are astonishing, ideas far ahead of their time. Even now, decades later, many of his concepts remain unexplored. It feels as if he’s still ahead of us. Caution: Once you begin reading this post, let go of the barriers society or peers have placed on you. Let your own mind be the master. The best way I can serve electronic musi...
