[Switched-on special] Various Artists - Metamorphoses. Electronic Interpretations of Classic and Modern Musical Works (Melodya, 1980)"Take a regular switched-on xxxx record like Wendy Carlos' Switched-on Bach, play it on an EMS Synthi 100, and you'll get this lost diamond of Russian electronic music, and possibly one of the rarest "switched on" records ever made.
Since the Synthi 100 is perhaps the most versatile synthesizer ever build (at least that's what Karlheinz Stockhausen once said) and given the lack of recordings with it (I remember Stockhausen's Sirius, some early Rolf Gehlhaar stuff and Bruno Spoerri's Toy Planet) this record might also appeal to the vintage gear fetishists."

Interesting, i never knew Rolf Gehlhaar used the Synthi 100. Which recording are you referring to?
ReplyDeleteThere is a Jazz Record (still available as CD) from Wolfgang Dauner "CHANGES" on the mood label. He is using Steinway-C-Flügel, EMS-Synthi-100 and Oberheim-4-Voice

Synthi-100 is used on other Spoerri Records as well, i.e. his Swiss version of Switched-On "Iischalte"

He still has some records left.

Oh, I've grown up on that record!
ReplyDeleteStill have it, but it's so worn out, it's hard to enjoy the music. It was released on 1986 if I remember correctly.
On the back cover, there's a synthesizer shot through a "fish-eye" lens, but the accompanying text never mentions what synth they actually used.
well, I don't remember correctly )) it was released in 1980 (gosh, I was 5 years old!), and it does mention Synthi-100.
