ROGER WATERS & SYNTHI'S AKS

via AnalogSuicide.
"1972 - Le légendaire EMS Synthi A K(eyboard) S(equencer) en action dans les non moins légendaires studios EMI d’Abbey Road (Londres), dans les mains du vénérable Roger Waters.

Ce dernier semble conquis par ce bijou technologique à l’allure de jouet, présenté dans une petite valise en plastoc, avec son clavier à surface tactile bleu et noir, ses boutons rotatifs en bakélite, ses switches aux couleurs vives, et sa matrice d’interconnections façon « touché-coulé ». Malgré son apparence inoffensive il s’avère assez redoutable à programmer et surtout génère des sons à vous retourner les entrailles. De plaisir.

Dans ce court extrait tiré du somptueux Live at Pompeii (version Director’s Cut) Roger et David (Gilmour) évoquent les technologies, l’évolution de la musique et les possibilités offertes par l’électronique. Ils conviennent que pour faire vivre ces engins il est nécessaire d’avoir la soul, la vibe, l’univers cérébral adapté qui seuls peuvent dompter la machine. Et non l'inverse.

L’extrait se termine sur un rush du très électronique « On The Run » figurant sur l’album Dark Side Of The Moon.

In Googlish:
"1972 - The legendary EMS Synthi AK (eyboard) S (equencer) in action in the equally legendary EMI studios at Abbey Road (London), in the hands of the venerable Roger Waters.

The latter seems captivated by this technological jewel at the pace of games, presented in a small suitcase in plastoc, with its keyboard surface touch blue and black, rotary bakelite buttons, switches its vivid color and its matrix of interconnections a "hit-cast." Despite his seemingly harmless it is quite daunting to program and especially generates sounds to you return the entrails. From pleasure.

In this short excerpt taken from the sumptuous Live at Pompeii (Director's Cut) Roger and David (Gilmour), evoke technologies, the development of music and opportunities offered by electronics. They agree that to sustain these devices must have the soul, the vibe, the universe adapted brain which alone can tame the machine. And not vice versa.

The excerpt ends with a rush of the very electronic "On The Run 'appearing on the album Dark Side Of The Moon.
