https://www.openculture.com/2017/11/what-the-future-sounded -like.html What the future sounded like is worth watching if not seen. I recall he is quite down on the VCS3 being a silly little toy, but it makes sense when you see a computer controlled sampler in his studio. Helps that he and ex wife were both from old money selling tiaras to buy PDPs that were mega-money used for automating a factory and he had it in his shed piddling around with music. I strongly suspect he did originate sampling as a technique. Also messing about with vocoder and computer to do resynthesis, very advanced stuff for the time (and very expensive). The new sound of music worth a watch, on youtube skip parts 1 and 2 unless want to see tape splicing musique concrete then the good stuff is: Part 3: Synthi100, VCS3 and vocoder all in use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=or8N2v7pR8I Part 4: Peter Zinovieff, Tristram Cary, polysynthi and tapping away on his PDP mini computer. Also has excellent David Vorhaus bit (with VCS3 in use as well of course) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJHtcWLhrX4 Musically, I much prefer Tristram Cary and never really took to Zinovieff's compositions. Because I am a professional electronic engineer, Cockerell has always been of most interest to me, or rather his electronic designs, but I do wonder if it wasn't for Zinovieff would I have ever heard of him? I'm sure he would have designed some clever circuits, but might have been in radios or TVs instead. Saying that I think without Cockerell's good taste to filter Zinovieff's ideas you get crap like Polysynthi. Oh I read somewhere that he and David Cockerell walked into Moog factory with their 256 step digital sequencer plugged it in and let it play to much amusement and annoyance of the staff, whom had recently released something like a 16 step analogue sequencer that they previously thought was pretty nifty! I never met Mr Zinovieff but he seemed like a real gent. RIP |
